I'm sure this has been addressed before, but my Google Fu fails me.

Sometimes I'll be merrily copying formulae around and notice that some of them return N/A or #DIV/0.

I can revise the cells so that the formulae include =if(isna or if(iserror(, as appropriate, but sometimes it's not practical to do that, and it's cumbersome to type the necessary characters, copy the formula, add a trailing parenthesis, add ,0, then paste the formula and add another trailing parenthesis. What I'd like is a macro I can execute from that would change this

Cell Formula

to

=if(isna(Cell Formula)),0,Cell Formula).

Surely it's been done before. Can someone enlighten me?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Instead of ISNA, why not use IFERROR :
Code:
Sub Formula_Add_IFERROR()
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range, fmla As String
If TypeName(Selection) <> "Range" Then
    MsgBox "Select one or more worksheet cells."
    Exit Sub
End If
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = Intersect(Selection, Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 23))
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
    For Each cell In rng
        If Left(cell.Formula, 8) <> "=IF(ISNA" _
            And Left(cell.Formula, 8) <> "=IF(ISER" _
            And Left(cell.Formula, 8) <> "=IFERROR" Then
            fmla = Right(cell.Formula, Len(cell.Formula) - 1)
            If Len(cell.Formula) > 255 Then
                MsgBox cell.Address(0, 0) & " contains " & _
                "a formula consisting of more than 255 " & _
                "characters and has to be amended manually."
            ElseIf cell.HasArray Then
                cell.FormulaArray = "=iferror(" & fmla & ", 0)"
            Else
                cell.Formula = "=iferror(" & fmla & ", 0)"
            End If
        End If
    Next
End If
End Sub
