Formula Errors / #Value!
I made a template with my formulas and I have some lines that I need to put
zero's in so I won't get #VALUE! where my formula is. For example: J16*K17 is the formula for L17. I have to put zeros in my J & K columns if I'm not using them or my L17 shows #VALUE! The first 5 or so lines do it but then the rest are fine. The other L cells just have zeros until I put in the figures that I want in the J & K. If I'm doing a quote and don't use all the lines, I get these errors on the unused ones. Hope I'm not being too confusing! Help!!! -- Mary Lou |
Formula Errors / #Value!
Hi,
Instead of J16*K17, try: IF(ISERR(J16*K17),"",J16*K17) This will still give the right answer when data is present, but will leave the cell blank when not.

=J16*K17 should not show an error in L17 if either or both is empty.
L17 should just display a zero since blank cell * blank cell = 0 Is there something else you're not telling us? If you don't want L17 to display a zero enter this formula =IF(AND(J16="",K17=""),"",J16*K17) But please post back with clarification about contents of J16 and K17 that would produce the #VALUE!

Hi, I got so confused with the project that I just gave up.. temporarily.
Would it be possible for me to send you my worksheet and have you look at my formulas?? -- Mary Lou "Gord Dibben" wrote: =J16*K17 should not show an error in L17 if either or both is empty.

Hi Mary Lou,
I suspect that the cells in column J or K contain spacebars and are not really empty. Just select the cells an press Del. Cheers, Shane Devenshire Microsoft Excel MVP "Mary Lou" wrote in message ...

Email the workbook to me.
Change the AT and the DOT to appropriate punctuation. Gord On Fri, 23 May 2008 09:30:02 -0700, Mary Lou wrote: Hi, I got so confused with the project that I just gave up.. temporarily. Would it be possible for me to send you my worksheet and have you look at my formulas?? |
