The IFNA function evaluates a value. If the value is an #N/A error, return the specified value.

Parts of an IFNA function

IFNA(value, value_if_na)

PartDescription
valueRequired. The value to check if it is a #N/A error.
value_if_naRequired. The value to return if the first argument is an #N/A error.

Sample formulas

IFNA(205, “Na error”)

IFNA(#N/A, “Na error”)

Notes

  • If value or value_if_na is an empty cell, IFNA treats the cell’s value as an empty string (“”).
  • If value is a range reference, IFNA returns an array formula result with one entry for in-the-range reference.
