Formatting to hide the errors


Posted by Dominic on June 07, 2001 7:19 AM

If I have a large table referencing various cells , i include the following if if(a1="","",a1/a2) to prevent the error of div0 etc.

How can I apply a conditional formatting that says if error then cell empty? or locked

Dominic, your formula below won't prevent a #DIV/0!
error. Use =IF(A2,A1/A2,"") and you won't need a
conditional format.

In conditional formatting, choose Formula Is and use =iserror(cellref) and under formatting make the font the same color as the background (most cases is white).
