I am trying to remove or replace the DIV error with blank and i have tried to use the ISERROR function but still does not work. This is what it looks like my data:
COLA COLB COLC
ROW1 $0 $0 #DIV/0
ROW2 #VALUE!
so i get these kind of errors when i have something like above and i would like to replace with blanks. Here is my formula that does not work. thanks
=IF((ISERROR(D13-C13)/C13),"",(D13-C13)/C13)
The suggestions are all valid. The reason why your original formula does not work is the wrong placement of the round brackets. Try
=IF(ISERROR((D13-C13)/C13),"",(D13-C13)/C13)
A better formula that appears to suit your question is
=IFERROR((D13-C13)/C13,"")
Incidentally, it is less prone to errors as using mismatched formulas for the condition tested and the result on no-error (the present case can be regarded of this type).
If you want to stick to ISERROR, then the solution by teylyn rules, of course.
Why remove the error, and instead just don't divide by zero?
=IF(C13=0,"",(D13-C13)/C13)
Give this a try:
=IF(C13=0,0,(D13-C13)/C13)
Another approach is to leave the errors in the sheet and hide them. This is sometimes useful, for instance #NA errors in a column of data when plotted on a chart show as missing rather than zero.
To hide them use conditional formatting, in the formula box
=ISERROR(C13)
and in the format box make the font colour white.
Select the whole spreadsheet, then under menu Home - Conditional Formatting - New Rule... - Select Format only cells that contain - Under Format only cells with select Errors - Click Format... button - Go to the Font tab - Under Color select the same font color as the background (such as white).

Problem:
Hello , as you can see in the image i want to Highlight Cells on the Column I when the cell value is less than 2. Everything works fine except those cells at the top that seem to be highlighted for no reason since they do not contain any data?. Any idea how to get rid of them??
Thank you very much for your help and time.
You can use a custom formula to do the conditional formatting (you may need to change the style dropdown to see the option to enter a formula):
=AND(I1<2,I1<>"")
If you apply this to cover your range it should work.
I've got a workbook, that i use for fleet allocations, but i'm not sure how to do error checking in excel, and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. When i allocate the vehicles to a duty, it uses vlookup to bring the driver name into the sheet. but what im unsure of how to do is, i have 54 duties, and it would be easy to miss one, so is there a way i can make it show me which duties are left to allocate ? please see screenshot...
Excel Worksheet Screenshot
For a layout as shown:
Select ColumnA, clear any existing CF from it and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format and Format values where this formula is true::
=AND(A1<>"",COUNTIF(C:E,A1)=0)
Format..., select formatting of choice (I chose the same fill as for the headers) OK, OK.
Well, had a look at your sheet... But I put this together as it is simple and you may be able to include it where you can...
Tha match() function looks for the duty in cell A2 and if it finds it in the list in column I then it returns its position number. If not found the iferror() returns "Not Allocated"...
The formula in cell B2 is:
IFERROR(MATCH(A2,J$2:J$10,0),"Not Allocated")
I have been trying to change the color of certain cells on my WS that fall outside of an acceptable range. The statement I've been trying to use is,
IF(OR('cell'>1.3,'cell'<2.5),'turn red','do nothing')
In english, "If a cell is less than 1.3 or greater than 2.5 turn red, else do nothing." I cannot find a resource that guides me to how I can get the cells to change colors. I also have been unsuccessful in creating a statement in the Conditional Formatting tab that satisfies my goal. I feel this should be simple, but for some reason cannot figure it out. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how to do it?
EDIT: Also, I have different ranges based on another cell on the spreadsheet. I need this also taken into consideration
Select the columns that you want to format
Click Conditional format --> new rule
Select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format"
In the formula bar enter the formula =AND(A1>1.3,A1<2.5)
Choose the fill color as red and press OK
am confused with your formula and your english version. If its the other way, then use the formula =OR(A1<1.3,A1>2.5)
I am stumped at what should be a simple matter. I have this formula in a column of cells:
=IF(ISBLANK(BG7),"",IF(BG7>=70,"OverBought",IF(BG7<=30,"Oversold","Neutral")))
The formula works and the cell shows the correct word.
I would like to apply conditional formatting to the result of the formula
green for Oversold
red for OverBought
yellow for Neutral
I have tried every variation I can think of for "Value of Cell" with and without quotes, "Enter a Formula" etc and no dice. What am I missing?
I used your formula, selected the cells, and used the menu "Conditional Format", then first option (something like "highlight cells"), then forth option ("equal"), then typed Oversold with no quotes and anything else, then selected a format option.
Then i repeated the same steps for the other values (Neutral, OverBought), selecting different format options.
It worked.
This set of rules work for me:
Go to Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Format only cells that contain > Cell value Equal to Whatever.
Admittedly I use Excel 2013, not 2010 as in your case, but I'd be very surprised if there is much difference for conditional formatting rules like these.
I'd like to color cells according to their value (cf conditional formatting - color scales) in the style menu of Excel 2007 to newer.
It works fine and the effect is wonderful when you have a wide range of data with fairly distributed values.
However, the column I am formatting conditionally is the result of some computation. Sometimes I get N/A values because one of my input is N/A, and sometimes I get the exception "division by zero" as my cells are the result of a division. In these scenarios, i don't get any colors at all.
Is there a way to ignore these problematic cells that happen sometimes, leave them blank and process colours for the rest of them ?
Thank you guys ! ;)
A picture of when it works fine :
Another picture showing a problematic cell cancelling the colouring :
I'm looking for an Excel solution to the problem, which I can then record as macro to port to my C# application. But if someone has a nice workaround in C#, I'd be happy too (i.e. I use ToColourScalePercentile on the range, I was thinking to maybe remove problematic cells from the range somehow)
you could use IsError function to check if there is N/A and in case there is leave the cell empty, otherwise put the value there.
Since you are using 2007 you can wrap your calculation in the iferror() function would look like:
=iferror(your calculation here, 0)
This way if your caculation evaluates to an error it will substitute the second argument. You can use 0 or "" to have it blank.
