MIN ABS IGNORING #N/A

HI all

I would like to identify the closest value to a specified value ignoring #N/A

eg closest to 50 in attachment. 
MIN(ABS(B4:B25-(50))) correctly returns #N/A not

1.18510094

as desired

Where the #N/As start appearing in the column is determined elsewhere and I want them to continue to appear, so the question is how to ignore them

Help much appreciated.

    As an array formula confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter (Windows) or Command+Return (Mac):

     

    =MIN(IFERROR(ABS(B4:B25-50),""))
