IFERROR Formula Syntax

=IFERROR(A1/B1, "Division Error")

Example Use Case

Handling errors in formulas by providing an alternative result

Understanding the IFERROR Formula

The IFERROR function in Excel evaluates an expression and returns an alternative value if it results in an error, otherwise returns the expression's result. It's an error-handling tool for graceful fallbacks—like preventing #DIV/0! or #N/A from disrupting your worksheet.

IFERROR(A1/B1, "Division Error") returns the division result if successful, or "Division Error" if B1 is zero or empty. It takes a value and value_if_error, streamlining error handling without nested IF functions.

Why Use IFERROR?

IFERROR creates resilience—think cleaner reports or user-friendly outputs. Its simplified syntax catches any error type, making your formulas more robust and presentable with minimal effort.

Example with Sample Data

Expression, Fallback	Formula	Result
10/2, "Error"	=IFERROR(10/2, "Error")	5
10/0, "Error"	=IFERROR(10/0, "Error")	Error
VLOOKUP("x", A1:B5, 2), "Not Found"	=IFERROR(VLOOKUP("x", A1:B5, 2), "Not Found")	Not Found

IFERROR smooths errors: normal results pass through, errors become friendly messages. It's an error catcher.
