    Array formula #/A

    ???? ??.jpg

    Why does IFERROR not handle blanks in # N / A in array formulas?

    Try this:

    =IFNA(MMULT(A1:B2,A4:B5),"")

    Re: Array formula #/A

    @Ali:
    IFERROR actually works for all errors. IFNA is purely for NA errors. just like ISERROR and ISNA. besides, OP is using Excel 2010 if that is still valid in his profile. IFNA started in Excel 2013.

    @chief_abound:
    i'm not very familiar with MMULT, but why don't you upload a sample file for us to test?

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    Yes, I know that!

    I had not looked at the OP's profile - my mistake on the Excel version.

    Re: Array formula #/A

    IFNA() & IFERROR() doesn't work in this case
    if you want "hide" #N/A use CF

    Re: Array formula #/A

    Hi,

    IFERROR doesn't work because the error is not returned by the formula itself, it is caused by entering an array formula into a range larger than the resultant array. You either need to correct the entry range or hide the errors using CF as sandy mentioned.

    Hi! sandy666 Thank you

    CF --> Does it mean conditional formatting?

    Re: Array formula #/A

    I don't see why you need the CF (conditional formatting). Just remove the formula from the cells where it isn't needed. You have a 2x2 array.

    Re: Array formula #/A

    Hi AliGW

    I just wondered what it means because I don't know what CF is.

    I don't plan to use conditional formatting ... I will do what I can on your advice.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Re: Array formula #/A

    Yes, which is why I put 'conditional formatting' in brackets so that you would know.

    If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED. Thanks.
