    ISNA in FORMULA REMOVES THE ANSWER

    Hi Eveyone

    Please help.!! I have attached a spreadsheet which indicates my challenge.
    In the TAB named UNITS I have indicated in cell A4 what the problem is.
    SO - if I use the formula that is in that cell , the answer that should be there is blanked out . It should be 2.
    The idea by using ISNA is to remove the #N/A from the cells when not being used - see the formula in cells A5 B5. ( I havent added the ISNA part )
    When I add the ISNA into the formula it removes the answer.

    I cannot figure out the correct formula - PLEASE ADVISE

    Good afternoon Onesock

    You are not using ISNA as it is supposed to be used - ISNA will return TRUE or FALSE, so you are not inspecting what ISNA contains, which is the way you would need to go.
    If you want to suppress errors, I would use the IFERROR function thus :
    Formula: copy to clipboard
