Hello all,

Is this possible? I find myself usually ending up changing the values one by one. Is there a way of using the find/replace (ctrl+h) to look for the #N/A error and replace it with say just the number zero?

All the best :D
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
It would probably be easier to add something to the formula that is giving you that result (assuming it is a formula). Search around on error handling or removing errors on the forum, there should be plenty of posts about it.

try,

Home tab-->find and select-->go to special-->formulas then uncheck numbers,text,logical and the remaining is errors.

Be sure not to select any cells before doing it. It will select all the errors not just NA() then type 0 then CTRL ENTER
