I have an app that gets the user's manager for approvals. If no manager is returned the user can search users and set a manager manually.

First I get the employee's AD record using Office365.SearchUserV2

// set default employee
Set(
 varDefaultUser,
 First(
 Office365Users.SearchUserV2(
 {
 searchTerm: Trim(User().Email),
 top: 1
 }
 ).value
 )
);

Then I use the user's Id to get the Manager

// set manager
If(
 !IsBlank(varDefaultUser.Id),
 Set(
 varDefaultManager,
 Office365Users.Manager(varDefaultUser.Id)
 )
);

If the user doesn't have a manager set in AD I get errors. I've switched on formula level error management to suppress the Power Apps errors to the user, but still getting errors using the app with a user without a manager.

This function would be better if it returned false when the user has no manager instead throwing errors. Is there a way I can test for error and take an alternate action and avoid displaying errors to the user? If the user doesn't have a manager i.e. varDefaultManager is blank then I display a people picker for them to select their own approver.
