I faced this problem. When I want to retrieve the value in a cell with the value of #VALUE!, I got the error2015. May I know how to solve this kind of problem with some example? Thanks so much.
This is not a problem. The cell actually contains a Variant/Error, so there you have it.
The same value you can get by calling CVErr(2015).
You might use the .Text property instead of .Value to get the actual text '#VALUE!', but then a) you will not be able to know if it's an error or someone just put mere text '#VALUE!' in the cell, and b) the returned text will be different in different regional versions of Excel.
If you are checking cells for errors, the right thing to do is to call IsError(.Value), and if True, check exactly which error.

I'm admittedly new to using VLOOKUP in Excel, but I've run through a few tutorials on this and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I'm attaching a sample of the table I'm working with, where I'm attempting to match a value (ZPOP) that is dependent on another value (ZIPCODE). The formula I'm using is
=VLOOKUP(A2,M:N,2,TRUE)
When I do the same as you, it looks like the formula is exact.
But, there's one thing in your Excel sheet: there is a warning at the beginning of your A-column. In order to reproduce this, I've replaced the value 59001 by '59001 (mind the single quote), and there the problem arises too.
Please check the warning of your A column and do some reformatting of that value, if possible.
I honestly don't see what I am doing wrong here. I am trying to see the minimum between three cells, and I want the result to ignore if one of those cells is blank or return nothing if they are all blank.
I've tried (with an without spaces between the "")
=IF(ISBLANK("B21,B26,B31")," ",MIN(B21,B26,B31))
This gives me 0 if my cells are blank
I also tried
=IF((ISBLANK("E21,E26,E31"))),(MIN(E21,E26,E31),"")
Which doesn't do anything. I don't know how this can be wrong and it's obviously not a difficult problem but I can't seem to crack it despite the huge number of people who have asked similar questions before.
Thanks in advance

Use AND() inside the IF:
=IF(AND(B21="",B26="",B31=""),"",MIN(B21,B26,B31))
All three must resove true for it to put "" in the cell or it will do the MIN().
I'll try and explain this as best as I can, it's a strange one so please bear with me. For the record I am using Excel 2010 (although I have seen this a couple of times before on previous versions also), and the model is fairly large (~30MB) containing around 20 sheets, and around 15 modules (although very well optimised and calculation times are non-existent).
I don't have the exact figures to hand, but for example in cells A1:A3 I have the values 823.50, -350.00, and -497.50 respectively. In cell B2, I am simply adding the values in column A by using =A1+A2+A3.
One would expect the result to show -24.00, but in fact shows something along the lines of 548.50.
Calculations are set to automatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Formatting is set to General
Manually stepping through the 'evaluate formula' dialog returns the correct result right up until the last step, which then gives the incorrect result
This can be fixed manually by entering into the cell, and coming back out again (effectively F2 then enter), after which the cell shows the correct result.
It is definitely not just a visual error, as the incorrect result gets fed into other calculations. I know the quick fix is to F2 and enter each cell, but it was only by chance this morning that the error was spotted, and could have easily resulted in a very large, false cost.
Edit
Forgot to mention that this affected ~50 cells this morning, not just the one
Has anyone had any experience with this issue? Is it a known issue, and therefore a known solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The only things I've noticed was to use '=Sum' instead of just '=', but have never been sure it actually functions differently.
also, from MS: If an argument is a cell range or reference, only numeric values in the reference or range can be added
I have used a formula to create a point system for my class. My formula is below, and it works great except that when C2 is zero, the score still shows "10" when I'd like it to be zero as well. I realize that this is an error in my formula but I can't seem to fix it without excel giving me an error message. Could anyone help me edit this formula to fix it?
(I'm a teacher and I'm just trying to make my life a little easier with excel.)
IF(TRIM(C2)="","",IF(C2<6.99,10,IF(AND(C2<=7.99,C2>=7),9,IF(AND(C2<=8.99,C2>=8),8,IF(AND(C2<=9.99,C2>=9),7,IF(AND(C2<=10.99,C2>=10),6,IF(AND(C2<=11.99,C2>=11),5,IF(AND(C2<=12.99,C2>=12),4,IF(AND(C2<=13.99,C2>=13),3,IF(AND(C2<=14.99,C2>=14),2,IF(AND(C2<=15.99,C2>=15),1,IF(AND(C2>=16,C2<=100),0))))))))))))
your first if statement says if c2 is nothing then its blank. why not make another one that check if its 0
This is untested but try
IF(TRIM(C2)="","",IF(TRIM(C2)=0,0,IF(AND(C2<6.99,10,IF(AND(C2<=7.99,C2>=7),9,IF(AND(C2<=8.99,C2>=8),8,IF(AND(C2<=9.99,C2>=9),7,IF(AND(C2<=10.99,C2>=10),6,IF(AND(C2<=11.99,C2>=11),5,IF(AND(C2<=12.99,C2>=12),4,IF(AND(C2<=13.99,C2>=13),3,IF(AND(C2<=14.99,C2>=14),2,IF(AND(C2<=15.99,C2>=15),1,IF(AND(C2>=16,C2<=100),0))))))))))))))
Again this is untested but hopefully you see what I am trying to do.
Perhaps:
=IF(C2="","",IF(C2=0,0,MAX(ROUNDUP(MIN(16-C2,10),0),0)))
I've always had trouble with this one over the years! I don't seem able to get the OR function in Excel to work.
In my model, the cell E46 should contain either a valid Postcode or the value "none". Unfortunately I have also encountered a "#value" in E46 so have written the following formula to trap this error and return "None" if encountered:
=IF(OR(E46="None",ISERROR(E46)),"None",VLOOKUP(E46, List,2,FALSE))
Trouble is, I still get #value returned by this formula when E46 contains #value even though I think I am trapping it!
All the help texts suggest I have written the formula correctly – I cannot see what I am doing wrong. Any helpful suggestions gratefully received.
You can't use OR when there might be an error in there (because the OR function will give an error in that case - from E46="None" part), try trapping the error first with nested IFs, e.g.
=IF(ISERROR(E46),"None",IF(E46="None",E46,VLOOKUP(E46, List,2,FALSE)))
You'd still get an error if E46 isn't in List......
If you have Excel 2007 or greater you can use IFERROR like
=IFERROR(IF(E46="None",E46,VLOOKUP(E46, List,2,FALSE)),"None")
