    IF statement with the string "#VALUE!" (escaping)

    Hi guys,

    I have a column with the string "#VALUE!" typed-in in some of the cells. When I try =IF(A1="#VALUE!","true","false") I'm getting a #VALUE! error.

    What should I do to fix the issue?

    Thanks! I didn't even try it because I thought it would not work.
