Using Error Message as test Criteria

If a formula returns a number or an error message how do I use the error message in a logical test.

Here is a formula that with a Cell A2/B2. If there is an error (such as Div
0#) it inserts a blank, if there is no error it does shows the calculation.
does that help?

=IF(ISERR(A2/B2)=TRUE,"",A2/B2)

Wow, I was just wondering how to do this and here's this posting. I am
working with a large spreadsheet which is downloaded each month. I've pasted
my formula into an entire row and now want those cells with the error message
to be blank. How do incorporate this into my formula, =LOOKUP(AA23,{0.12,0.
13,0.14,0.15,0.16,0.17,0.18,0.19,0.2,0.21,0.22,0.23,0.24,0.25},{".08",".10",".
10",".10",".105",".11",".11",".13",".13",".13",".14",".14",".14"})?
