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 @TheBlackCrown !

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.

Hey @TheBlackCrown  

 

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 👨‍🏭
