You're welcome and I'm glad I was able to help. Do you understand what the modified formula is doing?

Yes I do understand.
If the formula generates an ISERROR then print "", else the solution.

The value returned from the formula generates an ISERROR, which is what it is suppose to do.
I was hoping that I could apply the Select.NumberFormat=";;;" to hide the ISERROR display but that did not work.
When the worksheet is activated I do want to maintain the formulas, even with ISERROR but only display them when the user clicks on the "Display Data" command box.
This is a lesson on ISERROR on that workbook I've been working on.
