Whats wrong with this OR formula?
Greetings. I am trying to get this formula containing an OR command that
looks like this: =IF(OR(F15=" ",F15=0,ISERROR(F15)),"N/A","Approval Needed") When #N/A appears in cell F15 because of an invalid lookup value, I still get #N/A instead of N/A like I have in quotes above. Why won't this formula work? Thanks |

Replace ISERROR with ISNA.

You could trap the error from the VLOOKUP in F15 using this:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP( ... )," ",VLOOKUP( ... )) so that you won't get #N/A in that cell - you can change " " to "" or 0 whichever suits. Then your formula could become: =IF(OR(F15=" ",F15=0),"N/A","Approval Needed") Hope this helps. Pete Mark wrote: Greetings.
