Excel 2003 vs Excel 2007 #N/A in VB

[KMH]

I have a very simple macro that works in Excel 2007 but hangs up constantly
in Excel 2003. Does anyone have a work around?

Problem:
When referencing cells that have a #N/A value, Excel 2003 craps out even if
I use the ISNA application function before it. The following 2 statements
will cause Excel 2003 VB to stop regardless of order if the cell that is
referenced comes up with #N/A.

Series = Cells(RowNumStart + X - 1, SeriesCol).Value
If WorksheetFunction.IsNA(Cells(RowNumStart + X - 1, ColNum)) Then

Further background.... I am actually wanting to find #N/A values to turn
"off" the data labels in a stacked bar chart if they are #N/A. In Excel
2007, this is not even required because it won't put #N/A values on the
chart, but Excel 2003 will continue to show them on the chart as 0 value
which clutters up the chart. My macro just checks the value and if a value
turns on the data label and if #N/A turns off the data label. Again, macro
works perfectly in Excel 2007 but I need to give to users who still have
Excel 2003.

Thanks for help

Hello:

You could try using the IsError function:

If IsError(Cells(4,4).Value) Then
MsgBox("Cell in Error")
End IF

Thanks Peter, something is wrong with Microsoft Discussion Groups because it
is not notifying me of replies and when I search for my posts, it won't even
find them. I found this reply by going to Google searching not Microsoft.
Thanks again.

Unfortunately MS's WebNews is not a good interface in which to access these
groups. I don't think 'notify replies' has ever worked and search is flaky.
Need to make a note of when you posted (adjusted to PST) and navigate pages.

Most of the regulars use a Newsreader such as Outlook Express, LiveMail or
one of several other 3rd party apps (set up a news account to server name
"msnews.microsoft.com" and go from there). Otherwise there are several other
web interfaces, not least Google Groups.
