Access If Error Then 0
Oct 2011 Posts: 45 Thanks: 3 Thanked 6 Times in 6 Posts 'iferror' equivalent in access I have a query access #num error producing a large number of records, calculating number manufactured and number sold of each product in inventory. This is based on number of boxes/products/sheets. Some items have not been moved in the month #func access error so have no record to pull through to this query so the result produces an #Error result as opposed to a blank or a negative. In Excel, I'd normally use an IFERROR formula to deal with this, but cannot find a reasonable equivalent of this in Access. The format would be something along the lines of '=iferror(x*y,"")' I have 'x*y', no worries Any help on a generic
Replace #error With 0 In Access
formula equivalent would be greatly appreciated, preferably in its most simple form - I know there are several noobs like me out there looking for an easy way around this omission.

In any event, they managed to get by with this omission up til 2003, by using an if() wrapped around an IsErr(). The only difference in Access is you wrap the if() around an IsError(), so: If(IsError(x*y),

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up iif (Iserror ()) function still returning #error up vote 5 down vote favorite I have http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=217455 the following function that creates a column in my query: MTD: IIf(IsError(FormatNumber([62xx]![F40])),0,FormatNumber([62xx]![F40])) This is linked to an Excel file and where people put numbers and text in the same column (F40 in this example). I need to know if the thing I am looking at is a number or text. If it's text I want a zero, if it is a number I want the number. I know that when I http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22670418/iif-iserror-function-still-returning-error use FormatNumber([C107_62xx]![F40]) on a text line I get an error. I would assume when I get an error, then my iif formula above would convert that to a zero and the world would rejoice. For some reason I am still getting a #error even with my iif statement. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried using the IsNumeric function but I still get #NUM! errors that come through. function ms-access ms-access-2010 share|improve this question edited Mar 26 '14 at 19:16 HansUp 79.3k114371 asked Mar 26 '14 at 18:49 Nigel 2041211 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote accepted IsError does not do what you think it does. From the help topic, it "Returns a Boolean value indicating whether an expression is an error value." Not whether the expression triggers an error, but whether the expression is an error value. Sorry, that explanation was probably not clear enough, but I don't know how to do better. So I'll just suggest you consider this IsNumeric() expression for what you want here. IIf(IsNumeric([62xx]![F40]), FormatNumber([62xx]![F40]), 0) Here is that same expression in a query with the output below. SELECT [62xx].F40, IIf(IsNumeric([62xx]![F40]), FormatNumber([62xx]![F40]), 0) AS MTD FROM [62xx]; F40 MTD ----- ---- foo 0 1 1.00 2.3

IFERROR Function (DAX) Other Versions access if error SQL Server 2012 SQL Server 2008 R2 Evaluates an expression and returns a specified value if the expression returns an error; otherwise returns the value of the expression itself.Syntax Copy IFERROR(value, value_if_error) ParametersTermDefinitionvalueAny value or expression.value_if_errorAny value or expression.Return ValueA scalar of the same type as valueRemarksYou can use the IFERROR function to trap and handle errors in an expression.If value or value_if_error is an empty cell, IFERROR treats it as an empty string value ("").The IFERROR function is based on the IF function, and uses the same error messages, but has fewer arguments. The relationship between the IFERROR function and the IF function as follows:IFERROR(A,B) := IF(ISERROR(A), B, A)Note that the values that are returned for A and B must be of the same data type; therefore, the column or expression used for value and the value returned for value_if_error must be the same data type.ExampleThe following example returns
