Re: #NAME?

[Susan Hayes]

Hello

I am trying to create a blank in a cell if the following appears: #NAME?

I'm using a program that downloads information into excel, however when a particular cell with a formula doesn't
pickup the information eg. a price or name it returns: #NAME?

Eg. in cells A10 and B10 both show #NAME?

When this happens I would like cell A2 to remain blank, however it does not work. I wrote the following:

If(and(A10="#NAME?",B10="#NAME?"),"","")


Thank you in advance

Susan

This picks up any error, not #NAME? only. Better to use

=IF(COUNTIF(A10:B10,"#NAME?")=2,"","value")
