    #Value! iserror not working

    Background: Spreadsheet cell V2 = Jul12, W2 = Aug12, X2 = Sep12,Y2 = Q1FY12 (this goes on for 4 qtrs.) and then column AL2 = FY12 YTD

    Column V230 states =if((sum(E229)=0,"",E229) (this cell is a prior year number that needs to be subtracted from current year number)
    V231 states =if(iserror(v229-v230),"",V229-V230)

    which works great. Gives what I need.

    Column Y230 states =if(countblank(V230:X230)=3,"",SUM(V230,W230,X230)) - which again works great

    but Y231 which states =if(iserror(Sum(V231:X231)),"",Y229-Y230) is not working - I get a #Value! return.. so obviously there is something wrong with this formula. I need help.

    E229=1045 (current fiscal)
    E230=1009
    E231=36
    --end of fiscal--
    V229= (do not have current fiscal)
    V230=1045 (prior fiscal)
    Y229= (do not have current fiscal)
    Y230= #Value!

    Re: #Value! iserror not working

    Your iserror is only checking Sum(V231:X231) and not the Y229-Y230. You will need to have an another error checker for that value as Y230 is #Value

    Re: #Value! iserror not working

    Thank you for your help. I have made the changes recommended, however, it is still not giving me an output.

    E229 =1045
    E230 =1009
    E231 =36 [=IF((E229-E230)=0,"",E229-E230)]
    F229 -F231 =no value yet
    G229 -G231 =no value yet
    H229 =1045[=IF(COUNTBLANK(E229:G229)=3,"",SUM(E229:G229))]
    H230 =1009 [=IF(COUNTBLANK(E230:G230)=3,"",SUM(E230:G230))]
    H231 =36 [=IF(ISERROR(H229-H230),"",H229-H230)]
    I229 - T231 =no value yet - but error checks are all the same as above
    U229 =1045 [=IF(COUNTBLANK(E229:T229)=16,"",SUM(T229,P229,L229,H229))]
    U230 =1009 [=IF(COUNTBLANK(E230:T230)=16,"",SUM(T230,P230,L230,H230))]
    U231 =36 [=IF(ISERROR(U229-U230),"",U229-U230)]
    V229 =no value yet
    V230 =1045 [=IF((SUM(E229)=0),"",E229)]
    V231 =-1045 [=IF(ISERROR(V229-V230),"",V229-V230)]
    W229-X231 = no value yet - but error checks are all the same as above
    Y229 =no value yet [=IF(SUM(V229:X229)=0,"",SUM(V229:X229))]
    Y230 =1045 [=IF(SUM(V230:X230)=0,"",SUM(V230:X230))]
    Y231 =NEED VALUE [=IF(ISERROR(SUM(Y229-Y230)),"",Y229-Y230)]

    It's hard to decipher which part of that post is not doing what you expect

    It would be easier if you could post a sample book.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.
