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

Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ISERROR(value)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
value<\/strong><\/td>The value you want to test for an error. This can be a cell reference, a formula, or a constant value. (Required)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To use the ISERROR function, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Enter a formula in a cell that might potentially result in an error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use the ISERROR function to check if the formula produces an error. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    =ISERROR(A1)<\/code><\/pre>\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

    =IF(ISERROR(A1), \"Error occurred\", A1 * 2)<\/code><\/pre>\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

    Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Here are some examples to illustrate how the ISERROR function works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Formula<\/b><\/td>Result<\/b><\/td><\/tr>
    =ISERROR(5\/0)<\/td>TRUE<\/td><\/tr>
    =ISERROR(A2)<\/td>FALSE<\/td><\/tr>
    =IF(ISERROR(B1), “Error”, B1*2)<\/td>Error (if B1 contains an error) or the result of the calculation (if B1 is a valid number)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Additional Information<\/h2>\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":"
