Excel ISERROR Function is a handy tool for checking if a cell contains an error and returning a simple TRUE or FALSE value. It’s quite useful for error handling in Excel spreadsheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ISERROR(value)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To use the ISERROR function, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This formula checks if cell A1 contains an error. If A1 contains an error, it will return TRUE; otherwise, it will return FALSE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use this function in combination with other Excel functions. For instance, you can use it with the IF function to handle errors gracefully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this example, if cell A1 contains an error, the formula will display “Error occurred.” If A1 doesn’t contain an error, it will perform the calculation and display the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some examples to illustrate how the ISERROR function works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to handle specific error types, you can use other error-checking functions like ISERR, ISNA, ISBLANK, and IFERROR in Excel. These functions allow you to perform more fine-grained error handling based on the type of error encountered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Excel ISERROR Function is a handy tool for checking if a cell contains an error and returning a simple TRUE or FALSE value….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[180],"yoast_head":"\nArguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
