hello anyone. i have a formula:

=if(n23="#n/a","",n23)

my problem is the cell, and others, have "#n/a" in them.
It seems that it is not identifying the "#n/a".
if a have "#n/a" in the cell it returns "#n/a" instead of
spaces. if there is something else in the cell it leaves
it alone. Anyone have a clue?? Thanks, bob

Your formula is looking for the text "#n/a", which is not the same as the
'not-available' value that excel displays as #N/A. Try this:
=IF(ISNA(N23),"",N23)
