    With 2007, have a look at the IFERROR() function.

    Marcol,

    If I already have about 500 formulas in play, how could I add this function to existing formulas?

    Ctrl+G (Soto), Special, Errors. Type 0 in the formula bar, press and hold the Ctrl key, then press Enter.

    Do you really have 500 formulae in your Workbook/Worksheet, or are most of them not the same formula filled down?

    There really are about 500 formulas but yes, most of them are the same filled down.

    SHG, that was great and that worked. However, it did change some errors that I didn't need changed, but you just taught me something that I can definitely use. Thanks!

    You can change the formulas or change the values. I don't know of a third alternative.

    A brutal way would be to use VBa

    Select the range that you need to wrap all existing formulae in IFERROR() then run this macro

    This could be refined if required, as it stands it will mask all errors.

    Hi,

    Please try using ISERROR

    Sample to use ISERROR:
    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,A2:A4,0)),"",A2)
