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:

Entering text in Multiple Worksheets

If you have a number of worksheets in a workbook that require the same information (data or tables) on each worksheet, this can be done as follows:

Hold down the Ctrl key and click one or more of the additional worksheet tabs (i.e. Sheet2, Sheet3, etc).

In your mainsheet (Sheet1) enter the required data or design a table.

When done 'Click' on the other sheet tabs and you will see that the information entered in Sheet1 is on all the other selected worksheets.

NB Do not forget to deselect the worksheets - otherwise you may add data to the main worksheet and all the selected worksheets will also have that data!
