IFERROR

Shows a replacement when a formula returns an error.

How it’s written

IFERROR(formula, if_error)

Example

AB
1SalesCalls
2400
=IFERROR(A2/B2,0)

Result: 0

Dividing by zero is an error, so it shows 0.

Try it yourself

Open a live sheet with this example, and type the formula yourself. It takes a moment to load.

Worth knowing

It hides every kind of error, including real mistakes, so use it deliberately.

Practice it properly

Handling errors and gaps gives you real tasks, with your formulas tested on data you haven’t seen.
