Excel

Hello, 

 

What exactly is the IFERROR function and how is it best used?

 

Thank you!

  • Britt_0809 

    The IFERROR function in Excel is used to handle errors that can occur in other functions or expressions. It allows you to specify a value or action to be taken if the expression or function returns an error. It is particularly useful when you expect that a formula might produce an error (e.g., division by zero) and you want to display a more user-friendly message or provide an alternative result.

    IFERROR function Microsoft

    Examples and additional explanation can be found in the upper links.

     

    By using IFERROR, you can make your Excel worksheets more robust and user-friendly by providing meaningful feedback or alternative results when errors occur. It is a valuable tool for improving the readability and functionality of your spreadsheets.
