In the Query Editor, right-click the column and change the type to Text. Then, right-click again and choose to Replace Errors and replace with #N/A.

IN query editor, you can use "replace error" with whatever value you want. This option is available on Transform tab, click arrow next to "replace values" and you will find "replace errors" option.
