ISERRVALUE function

See also

Returns TRUE if the value of cellreference is error type #VALUE, where an argument in the formula is the wrong type. The ISERRVALUE function is used in logical expressions that refer to another cell.

Syntax

ISERRVALUE(cellreference)

Remarks

Scratch cells A through D won't return a #VALUE! error because the formula can contain numbers and letters in the same string. Cells X and Y must contain numbers only.

Example 1

Cell

Formula

Value returned

Scratch.X1

= "House"

#VALUE!

Scratch.A1

= If (ISERRVALUE(Scratch.X1),2,Scratch.X1)

2

Returns 2 because the value returned is a #VALUE! error, and the expression instructs Microsoft Visio to return a 2 in place of the error.

Example 2

Cell

Formula

Value returned

Scratch.A1

="5 + 7"

5 + 7

Scratch.B1

=If (ISERRVALUE(Scratch.A1),2,Scratch.A1)

5 + 7

Returns 12 because the value returned is not a #VALUE! error, and the expression instructs the Visio application to return the value of the original cell.
