Can I hide a #Value! answer so that the cell only populates once the formula answer is an acutal?

I have formulas that are pending clarification, so on the spreadsheet the answer shows (the error) #Value!. Is there a way to hide this, like you would an zero answer, until i am able to enter the correct data?

Thank you for any assistance.

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

Thank you Gaz_Chops for your answer can you explain how to "wrap". My formula is like this =CONCATENATE(Spreadsheet1!A1," - ",Spreadsheet1!B1," - ",Spreadsheet1!B2, " - ")

Try
=iserror(CONCATENATE(Spreadsheet1!A1," - ",Spreadsheet1!B1," - ",Spreadsheet1!B2, " - "),"")

Click to expand...

I think you mean IFERROR...

=IFERROR(CONCATENATE(Spreadsheet1!A1," - ",Spreadsheet1!B1," - ",Spreadsheet1!B2, " - "),"")

I'm sorry it isn't liking the ending of (,"".), *ignore the ()*, And when I leave it off it changes to "true". I would prefer the cell to show a blank cell rather than an error.

The acutal formula is this one - =IF($H13=0,"---",WORKDAY.INTL($H13,-45,7,$D$7:$D$31)) . The formula above was pulling the data from this. I don't know if that makes a difference. I did try in both places, but had the same end results.

Thank you again for your assistance!!
