Auto Size Font, VBA?

Hi, I have a spreadsheet with multiple formulas that return #DIV/0!

For the working of my spreadsheet this is fine, as data might be input later that will then yield a value. However they distract from the appearance of the spreadsheet, so I'm wondering if there is VBA code that can say something like:

For Spreadsheet Named "Sheet1"
Font Size of "#DIV/0!" to 6pt.

Many thanks!

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Rather than VBA how about conditional format?
Whilst you cant change the font size, you could make the font white (It "disappears"), or maybe a light grey

Try this:
This is an auto sheet event script
Your Workbook must be Macro enabled
To install this code:
Right-click on the sheet tab
Select View Code from the pop-up context menu
Paste the code in the VBA edit window

Not sure if this may slow down your sheet performance.
Font size changes from 12 to 6 depending on result.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim c As Range
    For Each c In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
        If c.Text = "#DIV/0!" Then
            c.Font.Size = 6
        Else
            c.Font.Size = 12
    End If
    Next
End Sub

Good idea. Conditional format won't let me select #DIV/0! only (has to apply to all Errors), but will make the text light grey so I can still see the other errors when they display. Thanks!

Unfortunately it slowed down my sheet performance to the point it wouldn't respond (it's a large sheet). Nonetheless, thanks for the response!

Yes it will, use a formula to determine which cells & then use this
=ERROR.TYPE(A1)=2

Since you did not say what range to look in my script looked in the entire sheet.
We maybe could use cell change but would need to know the range and what causes the cell change.
