I have a PivotTable in Excel 2013 where the first column is a standard aggregate value, and the second column uses the "Show Value As, % Difference From" menu selection for the same measure. In some subcategories, the member that the other values are compared to is missing. When this happens, Excel displays the "#N/A". Is there a way to suppress the #N/A and show either a blank or a different character string?

Right click on the pivot table and choose 'PivotTable Options'. You should see the following dialog:
As indicated above, check the box saying "For error values show:" and put whatever you want in the entry box next to it. If you leave it empty, you'll get blanks.
