Default Combining ISNA and IF formulas

I think we are getting closer. Here is what I have found.

=IF(ISNA('All Audit Compilation 1'!K3584),"",IF('All Audit Compilation
1'!K3584="P","",1)) STILL COUNTS NA AS 1

=IF(ISNA('All Audit Compilation 1'!K3584),"",IF('All Audit Compilation
1'!K3584="P",'All Audit Compilation 1'!K3584,"")) COUNTS P AS P AND DOES NOT
RETURN THE VALUE OF 1 FOR ALL CELL CONTENTS OTHER THAN P OR NA

That won't work. When the cell contains an error then the test for K3584="P"
returns the error and blows up the OR condition.

You have to first test for the error:

=IF(ISNA('All Audit Compilation 1'!K3584),"",IF('All Audit Compilation
1'!K3584="P",'All Audit Compilation 1'!K3584,""))

Hi,

Try something like

=IF(OR('All Audit Compilation 1'!K3584="P",ISNA('All Audit Compilation
1'!K3584)),"",'All Audit Compilation 1'!K3584)

I am trying to write a formula that returns a value of blank if the
contents
of field All Audit Compilation 1'!K3584 is either NA or P and the value
of 1
if it is not NA or P. I started with =IF(ISNA('All Audit Compilation
1'!K3584),"") but still get the value of false if the field is blank and
true
if it contains NA. I have the formula IF('All Audit Compilation
1'!K3585="P","","1") which works fine on its own but do not know how to
combine the two formulas and have =IF(ISNA('All Audit Compilation
1'!K3584),"") return a value other than true or false
