[Tiny Tip] Handle Errors Gracefully With this Function
Instead of showing ugly Excel errors like #DIV/0!, you can replace them with clean, user-friendly results.
Example
Let's say cell A1 has a number and B1 might be empty or contain 0.
If you divide A1/B1, Excel will return an error instead of a result, and we can handle that possibility with better output using the IFERROR() function.
=IFERROR(A1/B1,"No Data")
If the division works, Excel returns the answer.
If it fails, Excel shows No Data instead.
How It Works
A1/B1 is the formula to execute.
No Data is what you output when there would otherwise be an error such as #DIV/0!. You can change this user-friendly output to be whatever you want.
You can return text, a number, or even a blank, such as "".
Notes
IFERROR is great for cleaning up dashboards, reports, and shared spreadsheets so people see helpful output instead of distracting error messages.
