IF funtion
Hi there,
I am wanting to use the =IF function to say if a cell =numbers then true = cell*1.2, false = NA
This is because I am adding in PO amounts, but some cells aren't just a number and contain text so are coming up with #VALUE.
thus my IF function looks like
=IF(A1=number and not text, "NA", B2*A1)
what do I put in for 'numbers and not text'?
Thank you,
Siobhan

Hi Siobhan
Thanks for getting in touch. This is easier if you use an IFERROR function. You'd put something like this:
=IFERROR(B2*A1, "NA")
If there is an issue with the multiplication, it will write "NA".
Kind regards

RE: IF funtion
Hi Siobhan
You can use an additional function to deal with values that normally create an error.
This function is called iferror()
Its job is to step in if something causes the results of your formula to generate an error.
You could use it as follows:
=iferror(YOUR-IF-FORMULA),"")
replace YOUR-IF-FORMULA with your current IF formula.
The part after the comma will return an empty value if the formula runs into an error. If you would prefer to return zero just change the formula as follows:
=iferror(YOUR-IF-FORMULA),"0")
Let me know if this works for you or if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
