I have come up across several errors before but nothing I write will detect this one. I have Excel 2010 and the formula bar reads 374012553. When I try IsError or WorksheetFunction.IsError(xlCell.Value) I always get the same error, "Run-time error '6': Overflow".

In the case I am working with the cell needs to be cleared but nothing I write can work with this cell.

How can I detect it so I can delete it and shift everything up?

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Thank you everyone. I wrote a routine to clean-up the data before it became a problem.
