    Error Trap

    #NUM! within a cell.

    I have set up formula but when Input Cell is not yet populated I am presented with #NUM! in the destination cell. I need to apply a Conditional Format ie if cell =#NUM! them = white text.

    Can anyone help please.

    Hi,

    Easier to trap the error in the formula

    =IF(ISERROR(your formula),"",(your formula))
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1

    instead of using CF you can amend your original formula like this

    =if(iserror(your_formula),"",(your_formula))
