How do I get rid of "#######"

[Guest]

A6 contains this formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A5>8/24),A1:A5-8/24)*(SUM(A1:A5)*24<40)

This formula is doing what I want however if I enter a word into one of the
data cells instead of a time, the cell with the formula says ######. Is there
a way to have the formula only recognize a time entry and ignore a word entry
and still do the calculations I need.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(A1:A5>8/24)),ISNUMBER((A1:A5-8/24))*(SUM(A1:A5)*24<40))
did not work. This formula ignores both word and time entries when I applied
it.

Perhaps not a good way of doing it but:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A5>8/24),IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A5),A1:A5-8/24,0))*(SUM(A1:A5)*24<40)

Array entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter

seems to return a time.
