    #VALUE showing when a cell is bank, but the function works perfectly when data is present

    I've attached the workbook to show what the issue is along with my formula used. How can I stop #VALUE from showing up in blank cells? It's very odd to me that the formula works perfectly when there's data there, but when it's blank #VALUE shows.

    The reason it matters is because it is corrupting the SUM function at the top of my worksheet.

    Here is the formula:

    =IF(G5="","",IFERROR(CHOOSE(LEN(G5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(G5,"*","")),14,16,18,20,22),IF(LEN(G5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(G5,"!",""))=1,20,IF(LEN(G5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(G5,"@",""))=1,5,IF(LEN(G5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(G5,"#",""))=1,5,IF(LEN(G5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(G5,"%",""))=1,18,IF(LEN(G5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(G5,"%",""))=2,24,12)))))))+IF(LEFT(G5)="&",4,0)

    Re: #VALUE showing when a cell is bank, but the function works perfectly when data is pres

    You need to reposition one of the closed brackets, like this:

    =IF(D5="","",IFERROR(CHOOSE(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"*","")),14,16,18,20,22),IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"!",""))=1,20,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"@",""))=1,5,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"#",""))=1,5,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"%",""))=1,18,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"%",""))=2,24,12))))))+IF(LEFT(D5)="&",4,0))

    so the final 4 or zero will only be added on if D5 is not empty.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Re: #VALUE showing when a cell is bank, but the function works perfectly when data is pres

    It looks like you closed your IF() statement too soon...
    =IF(D5="","",IFERROR(CHOOSE(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"*","")),14,16,18,20,22),IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"!",""))=1,20,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"@",""))=1,5,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"#",""))=1,5,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"%",""))=1,18,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"%",""))=2,24,12)))))))+IF(LEFT(D5)="&",4,0)
    change to this...
    =IF(D5="","",IFERROR(CHOOSE(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"*","")),14,16,18,20,22),IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"!",""))=1,20,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"@",""))=1,5,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"#",""))=1,5,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"%",""))=1,18,IF(LEN(D5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D5,"%",""))=2,24,12))))))+IF(LEFT(D5)="&",4,0))

    Also, underneath that formula you just have a bunch of #Value formulas

    edit: Pete beat me to it
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thanks! I didn't realize that I closed that too early. The workbook I uploaded was a test document, so yeah the #VALUE under the formulas I wasn't really paying attention to. Everything is fixed now!

    Re: #VALUE showing when a cell is bank, but the function works perfectly when data is pres

    I just went through Evaluate Formula, and then it was obvious what the problem was.

    Certain types of array formulas will cause Excel 2003 and earlier versions to crash when using Evaluate Formula.

    I used XL2000 for many years and then did the jump to XL2007 - Evaluate Formula wasn't included in XL2000 so it was a welcome bonus when I upgraded.

    Re: #VALUE showing when a cell is bank, but the function works perfectly when data is pres

    It was introduced in Excel 2002.

    A lot of what I know I learned by dissecting formulas using Evaluate Formula.

    Ah, maybe I should have upgraded earlier, then I might be as good as you, Biff <bg>
