Display "empty" if error

Formula > Wrap in IFERROR (empty)

This tool wraps a formula in a cell into a =IFERROR() function with an alternative value of "" (empty).

Instead of an error like #N/A, #DIV/0! or #VALUE!, you can have your own (more logical) error message displayed when the formula fails.

For example, if you have a formula VLOOKUP but no result is found, then the formula will display #N/A. You can use this utility to tell LO Calc what to display when a formula results in an error, for example display nothing (an empty result) if no result is found.

This is much faster than entering =IFERROR() for each cell manually.
