Is it possible to create a custom format that would display a "-" instead of an #N/A?

I tried this [="#N/A"];"-" ... but it reverts back to [=0];"-"

Just curious on this one; I know I could deal with it via VB or through an ISNA formula, just want to know if it's possible...

Thanks

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
It doesn't appear it is possible, I tried a few other ways, even [=NA()];"-" and still reverted to 0.

Looks like you will probably need to use a macro or isna in your formula.
