ISERROR

When should this function be used? For what purpose? Should it be used in combination with another function?

Thanks

RE: ISERROR

ISERROR is one of a group of error checking functions.

It is used to check whether a specific cell contains an error.
Value refers to any error value (#N/A, #VALUE!, #REF!, #DIV/0!, #NUM!, #NAME?, or #NULL!).

Returns a TRUE / FALSE.

Can be combined with other functions, depending on your requirements. This is called nesting functions, like the multiple IF statement you covered on the advanced course.

 

Excel tip:

Autonumber in Excel

To create an autonumber field, can use the Offset() function.

In cell A1, enter the number 1.
Then in cell A2, enter this formula:

=OFFSET(A2,-1,0)+1

Then copy the formula from cell A2, down as far as you need.
