I would like to black out or strikethrough lines that produce a #VALUE! result from a spreadsheet that uses a formula to produce a date. I've tried conditional formating but it does not seem to work for the #VALUE! result. Any suggestions?
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Use a conditional formatting formula of-

=ERROR.TYPE(A1)=3

Although it might be best to handle a possible error within your formula and return something else.

Do you know how I'd highlight the entire row if this condition existed in one of the cells. I'm looking at doing this on a spreadsheet of 200+ rows.

Highlight all the cells in all the rows where you wish to apply the formatting. Then use this formula-

=ERROR.TYPE($A1)=3

Where A1 is the first cell in your formatted region.
