Help Requested: How to get N/A to appear in a column full of numbers

I'm working on building a report for a client and I need "N/A" to appear in blank columns. I tried putting a 0 there but my client was not a fan. I cannot seem to figure this out, "N/A" is text and the columns I have are full of mostly whole numbers. Is there anyway to do this?

 

I cannot change the numbers to text, there is some conditional formatting/ a heatmap for the numbers. Changing this to text ruins the heatmap.

Hey @Anonymous !

This seems to work for me: would you want to try something similar to this?

It works! But how do I get N/A to appear in the column I'm working on rather than in its own column. Currently it recreated the column I'm working on.

Would you be abe to give me an example with an image. Stuggling to get my head around this one 😊

 

I'll try my best once you post a copy 👨‍🏭
