Question

I am using Excel Formula OR in an Excel formula and am little surprised the way it is behaving.

I am using the following Excel formula :

=IF(OR(ISERROR(funct(A1:A5)), funct(A1,A5)=0), "ERROR", funct(A1,A5))

My understanding was that, if ISERROR(funct(A1:A5)) True(or False), the result of OR operation would be True(or False).

In my experiment, I was expecting the answer to be “ERROR” as the ISERROR(funct(A1:A5)) results in true.

But I am getting #VALUE! error. Any Idea what could be wrong. Or if I can rephrase the formula to make it work.

Thanks

Answer 1

I think you’re missing a close bracket.

Try this:

=IF(OR(ISERROR(funct(A1:A5)), func(A1,A5)=0), "ERROR", func(A1,A5))
