I am working in Excel 2003 with a formula which has one ISERR and a total of
six vlookups. I am trying to have one cell look up values from other
worksheets and perform basic math on those values. In some instances I get
either #DIV/0! or #N/A!.

When I try to use both IF(ISNA) and IF(ISERR), an error message states that
my formula is too long. Is this because of the number of characters I am
typing into the cell or that I am trying to use more than 7 "formulas"? I
didn't think vlookups counted in that regard.

Is there any way to use both ISNA and ISERR at the same time? Something like:
IF(ISNA or ISERR ???
That would be just perfect...

Post your formula

Formulas are limited to about 1K character length. Are your formulas that
long? You are limited in Excel 2003 and early to 7 levels of nesting. You're
probably at that limit, not the formula length limit.
