Summary:

You can hide a #DIV/0 error and other errors on an Excel spreadsheet. For example, suppose you use the following function:

=5/B3

If you use the following function, Excel will show a blank in the cell if an error occurs; otherwise, the value will be displayed:

=IF(ISERROR(5/B3)," ",5/B3)

The ISERROR function checks to see if any error is returned by the calculation. If an error is returned, a blank space is placed in the cell; otherwise, the value of the calculation is returned to the cell.
