    Question Hiding Expression Results...

    From what I understand, Conditional Formatting will only formats constants in the cells. Is there a way to format the results of an expression?

    I am having a column calculate a running average, and then graph it on a separate sheet. I am using the NA() function to get the graph to only show the non-zero results. That works great for the graph. I would like though to not have the #N/A show up on the numerical page. I have tried formatting it to the same color as the background with no luck.

    How would I go about this? Thanks for your help in advance.

    Conditional formatting will work with formulas.

    If you want to hide N/A have you looked at the ISNA function?

    I completely missed that function when going through the various help ideas.

    It worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

    Use format>conditional formatting, select the cells and use formula is

    =ISNA(A1)

    now click the format button, select fonts and a white font that is not
    visible

    You said that you already tried that but what didn't work? You can also hide
    the range altogether
