How do I change "#VALUE!' or at least stop it from showing?
I've set up an Invoice template in XL. In the template I can a select a "product" in a cell (e.g C1), and the price of the product per unit is automatically shown in another cell (e.g F1). Finally in...

Thanks Sergei: The spreadsheet actually uses different cells to those I mentioned (though t it would be easier to explain). The Actual is this: Formulae in Cell J34 is =F34*I34.
Where I34 is the amount of product used and F34 is the price per unit of product.
F34 uses an "IF" based on C34 (=IFC34= "SAND", "£10", IF C34 ="CEMENT", "£5.00" etc) so if I put sand in C34 and 0.2 in I34, J34 will correctly show £20.
The issue is only occurs when I leave C34 blank (F34 is "automatic because of the IF function).
When I input a product into C34, but omit a quantity in I34, I just get the currency symbol in J34. This is what I am trying to achieve when C34 is left blank.

I think the error is because of the symbol typed in the formula. Maybe you should use it under the format instead of the formula.
