Can I ignore a row that is missing data and is corrupting my formulas?

I am having an issue where if there is 1 or multiple rows that are mising the key dates it throws the formulas i have set at the top of my sheet out of whack. For example "Mark Wendling" doesnt have the dates to calculate for "Projected Build Time (Months) (Elliot)" , "Months Difference to Contract-Late +Early (Elliot)" , "Contracted Build Length (Months) (Elliot). Is there anyway i can write into my formulas at the top of my sheet to ignore the "invalid data type"?

    I've updated the formula in your sheet for the first section, so they now include an IFERROR at the start, so they show as blank if there are any errors.

    Something like this.

    =IFERROR((NETDAYS([Contract Start Date (Elliot)]@row, 
    [End Date Based On Waterfall (Elliot)]@row) / 365) * 12, "")
    

    Did that work?
