Checking for #N/A value in nested IF statement

Hello!

I'm using a nested IF statement and calculating values based on the data in adjacent cells. I basically want part of my formula to do this check: If this cell isn't equal to #N/A, then display a certain value. Right now, my formula looks like this:

=IF(AND(ISNA(K35),L35="N/A",ISNA(M35)),"VALUE X",IF(AND(K35<>ISNA(K35), L35<>"N/A",ISNA(M35)),"VALUE Y","VALUE Z"))

.. but it isn't working. I've bolded the circular argument (which I'm assuming is what is giving me the problem).

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you!

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Right now, my formula looks like this:

=IF(AND(ISNA(K35),L35="N/A",ISNA(M35)),"VALUE X",IF(AND(K35<>ISNA(K35), L35<>"N/A",ISNA(M35)),"VALUE Y","VALUE Z"))

Would NOT(ISNA(K35)) do it?
