A1 =NA() ; to simulate NA condition
B2 =IF(ISNA(A1);"None";"Not none") ; or simply =IF(ISNA(A1);"None")
This would take care of your #NA, but I'm not sure on the #NAME or #VALUE.
In cases where I'm trying to format the output to make things look
pretty and I have a likely #NA condition, I usually have a hidden cell
(or column) that evaluates the calculation with the potential #NA
result. Then in the cell that the user sees, I'll use a version of the
formula in B2 to display a more user-friendly (or calculation-friendly)
output.
If you replaced ISNA() with ISERROR(), you might be able to catch your
other error conditions.

How do I leverage IF to replace error conditions, making them instead display
constant string values? For instance, how would I replace #N/A, #NAME and
#VALUE with “None”?
