Hi, hope someone can help. I'm trying to run this code but when the cell value is "#N/A# I get an error 'type mismatch', note that the cell value is text not the formula =NA().

Code:
If ActiveCell.Value = "#N/A" Then
    ActiveCell.ClearContents
ElseIf ActiveCell.Value = "Error" Then
    ActiveCell.ClearContents
Else
End If

I get this error:

"Run-time error '13':


Type mismatch"

Thanks!

Another option
Code:
If IsError(ActiveCell.Value) Then
    ActiveCell.ClearContents
ElseIf ActiveCell.Value = "Error" Then
    ActiveCell.ClearContents
End If
This will catch any error values not just #N/A
