Excel Advanced course

Iferror

not covered in the course please can you provide an example

RE: Iferror

Hello Jacqui,


Thank you for your question regarding iferror function.

This has many uses and was introduced in version 2007. An example could be where you are using exact Lookups and if it cannot find what its looking for, instead of the non de-script N/A error appearing, you could use the IfError to show a more meaningful message. Such as "Not Found".

e.g.
=IFERROR( VLOOKUP( "Jim", A1:B5, 2, FALSE ), "not found" )


I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark
Microsoft Office Specialist Trainer

Excel tip:

Filtering Data in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

When you have an Excel Worksheet with masses of data, it's not going to be easy to sift through it. So, in order to view sections of data, you can use the filter tool. Select the cells you want to filter (no need to select the column headers), then click the Home tab on the Ribbon, click Sort and Filter (you will find this in the Editing Section) then click Filter.

You will now see arrows in the top row of all the columns. If you click on an arrow, it will give you some filtering options so you can sort your data into ''Smallest to Largest'' or ''Oldest to Newest'' and so on..

To turn off the filtering, go back to the Home tab and click the Filter button again.
