Use both ISNA and ISERROR in a long formula
I am working in Excel 2003 with a formula which has one ISERR and a total of
six vlookups. I am trying to have one cell look up values from other worksheets and perform basic math on those values. In some instances I get either #DIV/0! or #N/A!. When I try to use both IF(ISNA) and IF(ISERR), an error message states that my formula is too long. Is this because of the number of characters I am typing into the cell or that I am trying to use more than 7 "formulas"? I didn't think vlookups counted in that regard. Is there any way to use both ISNA and ISERR at the same time? Something like: IF(ISNA or ISERR ??? That would be just perfect... |

Use both ISNA and ISERROR in a long formula
Formulas are limited to about 1K character length. Are your formulas that
long? You are limited in Excel 2003 and early to 7 levels of nesting. You're probably at that limit, not the formula length limit. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel, 10 Years Pearson Software Consulting www.cpearson.com (email on the web site) "dbsavoy" wrote in message ...
