Check for "#VALUE!"
I know it is possible to do by writing a script....but is there a way to check if a function returns "#VALUE!" logically? *Simple example: * SEARCH("e","1234") returns #VALUE!. I'd like to say IF(SEARCH("e","1234")="#VALUE!","ERROR","No Error") Thanks! -- carlyman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ carlyman's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=22440 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=379062 |

Would the ISERROR function serve your purpose, or do you need to distinguish the #VALUE error from other errors? -- MrShorty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrShorty's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=22181 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=379062 |

I can work around it using ISERROR, but I was hoping to implement something more based on what type of error it was. -- carlyman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ carlyman's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=22440 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=379062 |

In that case, there's the ERROR.TYPE function. -- MrShorty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrShorty's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=22181 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=379062 |
