If One Function Returns Error Then Use Second Function
Feb 18, 2013I want a UDF; = OK (f1,f2) each argument being an alternative function. If f1 returns an error message then use f2. Should be easy but I cannot get it to work.

Function Returns #NUM! Error
Sep 30, 2007Is there a way in which you can create an if function or similar to give a reason for why the cell of data has an error.
Basically i have some data in a table, and when a #num! error pops up id like to in the cell next to it give a sentence stating why this has happened.
E.G.
Cell A1 Cell B1
#Num! Number error due to 'x' being too small
Not sure how i can get this to work, i have tried a basic if function but that hasnt worked.
Find Function In Calculated Column In PowerPivot Always Returns Error?

VLookup To Pivot Table Using Match Function - Returns Error If Can't Find Match Value
Mar 11, 2014I am having some trouble getting a formula to work. I am building a report that pulls figures from a pivot table in another workbook. I am using a vlookup with match function to get the column index to find the relevant data I want. Where I need to add two columns together I am using sum, with the vlookup & match formulas nested in them e.g.:
=SUM(VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("FAID",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("COMM",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("BPCM",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("COMD",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE))
Where:
F13 = Employee number
Column C on the pivot 156 workbook is where the employee number is based.
The Match formula is then getting the column index from the column headings of the pivot table ie. "FAID"
This in itself works fine, as long as it finds a match in the column headings. This is where i get the error as in the above function "COMD" is not in the pivot table. However I need to keep it included as it may appear on a future pivot table. Is there a way of getting the sum function to complete even though later in the formula it can't complete the vlookup? So it will ignore it, or assume the value is zero if it can't find it? The formula probably needs to do this for all the vlookups as some headings may drop off in future pivot tables.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMid Function Returns Odd Results
Jun 1, 2006I'm using the following phrase out of a much longer expression to
demonstrate that the return value of the MID function seems to be nothing I
can understand.
This expression:
=MID("6/10x",1,FIND("x","6/10x)-1))
returns 6/10 as text which makes sense. However I was under the impression
that when text in Excel contains numeric characters, it can be interpreted
as a number. So then how does the following expression,
=MID("6/10x",1,FIND("x","6/10x)-1)*1
return the result 38878? Does it still think it's text?
Lookup Function Returns #N/A Or #REF
Apr 23, 2007Im trying to do a lookup but when I drag the formula down it returns the wrong values and also returns #N/A or #REF (which I think means it's refering to a wrong range and cant find the data???). How can I do a look up function by dragging the formula down a long column of data eg. 65,000 rows in excel, that returns the correct text. I have attached a simple example- see attached.

WEEKNUM Function Returns #NAME?
Jan 17, 2008I am trying to get the week from a given data (from a cell that has been correctly formatted with date). =YEAR works, =MONTH works, =WEEKNUM does not work. I am using Excel 2003 and I have tried in both my workplace and at home...
I.e., I have a date in C2 (18-05-08), and =YEAR(C2) returns 2008, =MONTH(C2) returns 5, while =WEEKNUM(C2) returns #NAME, and =WEEKNUM(C2,2) does not work at all...
Max Function That Returns A Column Heading
Mar 27, 2014Let's say I have data that looks like this grid below. Each color represents a column heading and each number is a data point within that column.
Blue Red Green Yellow
18 27 15 36
56 41 3 22
Can I write a formula that would do the following 2 things with the data in this format:
1. Find the max of the data...simple =Max(...) formula
2. Use the max to return the column heading. In this case the max is 56 so the value I want to return is "Blue"

View 4 Replies View RelatedIF Function Returns False Positive
May 7, 2009I have calculated the t values then i have three tables for 3 confidence levels, 0.01, 0.05,0.1 in which I compare the t value with the value from the
t-test table. If the t value is larger it returns a 1, if not a 0. This works fine.
To summarise the information I have a final table which I wish to return the highest significance of the given t value.
I am using this
=IF((G53=1),0.01,(IF(G44=1,0.05,(IF(G35=10,0.05,"none")))))
the problem I have is it always returns 0.01 even if g53=0. If i remove the formula from g53 and replace it with a 0, it returns 0.05 instead (even if g44 is retruning a 0).
I have considered copy paste values and doing this but that rather removes the automation aspect of the spreadsheet if I need to make adjustments.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAND Function Returns Zero For FALSE & One For TRUE
Oct 18, 2007I've been asked to adjust some thing with a worksheet someone else created. On the sheet labeled "Criteria" there is a list of dates and some formulas that use these dates. I can't figure out why the result of the formula is a number, i.e "0"; I thought it is supposed to return "TRUE" or "FALSE". If I insert a new sheet, within the same workbook, and insert the same formula, I get "TRUE" or "FALSE". For some reason, the "Criteria" worksheet doesn't return "TRUE" or "FALSE", it returns numbers. I just need to know why this is happening so I can replicate it in the new workbook I'm creating.

Function To Indicate Whether An Expression Returns A Non-zero Result (2007)
Jan 28, 2010I have this COUNTIFS expression buried in a larger formula:
COUNTIFS(Table[C7],Table[C7]&"",Table[C21],">=1")
and it always returns a value of zero or some positive integer.
I'm now looking for a little "function" that I can wrap around this expression that will:
A) indicate any non-zero result as 1 or TRUE
and
B) indicate any zero result as 0 or FALSE
Something like...
AREYOUNONZERO( (COUNTIFS(Table[C7],Table[C7]&"",Table[C21],">=1") )
I'm sure there's a fairly efficient way to do this... but I'm totally stumped at the moment!
