Some functions you can look into:
ISNA(reference) - [is the reference #N/A ?]
ISERROR(reference) - [is the reference any of the following: #VALUE, #REF,
#NAME or #N/A ?]
ISERR(reference) - [is the reference any of the following:  #VALUE, #REF or
#NAME ?]

All of these functions return boolean results (either TRUE, or FALSE) which
you can then use in an IF() statement.  Notice that ISERROR() and ISERR()
only differ when it comes to #N/A.  Please also note that I am not 100% sure
of the definitions I gave here, this is only what I observed from use.  

As mentioned before, I think ISERROR() would work for your case.  There are
also some other IS... functions you can look at, but are not really relevant
to this topic.  Hope this helps.

Jack
