Recognizing #VALUE! as a condition in an IF Function Argument
Is there some way to get #VALUE! recognized as one of the conditions of an IF
function argument? For example, if D3 shows #VALUE! (as the result of a "value error"), then one could ask, =IF(D3=#VALUE!,"bark","bite") or possibly =IF(D3="#VALUE!","bark","bite"), and the result would be "bark" (since D3 really does equal "#VALUE!"). |

Recognizing #VALUE! as a condition in an IF Function Argument
Try this:
=IF(ISERROR(D3),"bark","bite") Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "Jim J." wrote: Is there some way to get #VALUE! recognized as one of the conditions of an IF function argument?

Recognizing #VALUE! as a condition in an IF Function Argument
If you are only isolating for an error then this should do
=if(iserror(d3),"bark","bite") However it will show "bark" for all instances of error like #N/A, #Div "Jim J." wrote in message ...
