    Linking Chart Text Box to a Worksheet Cell

    Hi,

    I have added a text box to a line chart and the text is linked to that in cell A1 (=A1)

    Sometimes the value in cell A1 is intentionally "n/a", the result of a formula.

    However, when "n/a" appears in cell A1 the text box shows #VALUE.

    Can someone please suggest how to change the link to A1 so that "n/a" appears in the chart text box if that's what's in A1?

    Thanks!

    How about this?

    =IFNA(A1,"N/A")

    or:

    =IF(ISNA(A1),"N/A",A1)
