    dealing with errors in an array

    Hello

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    I have the above formula, but some of the cells in B:B have a #value error. I tried putting up an iferror() function, but it doesnt seem to work with array functions. Any suggestions on how to get around this?

    Wondering if there are blanks in your cells or other values, maybe try something like the following

    There are some blanks, but in the formula evaluation, they are returned as false and thus handled appropriately. Sorry, but the "--" coercion did not work. Your formula still results in a #Value error

    Check in your column Y and make sure there aren't any characters or letters only numeric values, sorry just trying to cover all the bases.

    The Y column does not contain anything besides numbers and blanks. The problem is dealing with the B:B Column. For clarification, the B:B column contains strings, blanks, and a few #values errors. I have shortened the array to a smaller portion of data where I know there are no #value errors, and the formula works. So the only issue is dealing with the errors.

    Now then, I have temporarily nipped this in the butt and added an iferror() function into the formulas in the B:B column, thus replacing all errors with a blank. I'd prefer to have the solution come from the equation above, but if that doesn't happen I at least have a back up.
