Excel ISERROR question
Hi Experts:
I have this formula on cells in my spreadsheet:
=IF($A$1="ALL",Data!A4,IF( ISERROR(FI ND($A$1,Da ta!D4)),"" ,Data!A4))
The spreadsheet contains a value in A1 which can vary. The data as you can see comes from another spreadsheet. If the A1 value does not match the Data spreadsheet D4 cell, I want a blank or null. Now I am getting zeros when there is no match.
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you.

I still get a 'zero'. Researching this further...thanks for your help, though.
Hi there, not sure if this is resolved yet but you may want to check out your settings.
Depending on what version of Excel you have, go to File->Options->Advanced.
In the dialog box that pops up, go to 'Show zero in cells that have a zero value' and uncheck it.
Cheers,
Tony

Thank you for your input. The problem was that the cells were never blank since they had a formula in them! Have rescoped how things were happening and it seems o.k. now...can we close this one?
