Is there a worksheet function that I can test "find" for "#VALUE!"

Example =find("blah", "blahblah", 1) is "1"

But =FIND("argh", "blahblah", 1) is "#VALUE!"

How can I test this?
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
You can test for several types of errors using "ISERR":
Code:
=IF(ISERR(FIND("argh", "blahblah", 1)),"",FIND("argh", "blahblah", 1))

There is no need for ISERR, FIND will either return a number if it found it or a #VALUE! error if it didn't, so all you need to check for is to see if it returned a number or not.
