Access #num Error
()) function still returning #error up vote 5 down vote favorite I have 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 #func access error text I want a zero, if it is a number I want the number. I know that when I 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 IsNum

But a properly used Nz() function can turn an error message into an understandable and expected value. By Susan Harkins | in Microsoft Office, February 6, 2009, 2:14 AM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus Missing ms access on values can confuse users if handled incorrectly. For instance, a calculated control in a form or report has the potential to return #Error if a value is missing. That's going to leave your users scratching their heads and reaching for the phone to ask what's up. You can avoid their confusion (and your interruption) by using the Nz() function to force a value — usually 0. This function's syntax is simple: Nz(expression, replacementvalue) where expression is the field or value being evaluated and replacementvalue is the value or text you want to display, or pass, when there's no value. (You can learn more about Nz() in Help.) I've found that applying Nz() correctly can be a bit of a puzzle for some folks. The key is to wrap every field or value in an Nz() function, not the entire expression. For instance, the following expression has the potential to return #Error, despite the Nz() function: =Nz(Sum(Price * Quantity, 0)) The correct syntax follows: =Sum(Nz(Price, 0) * Nz(Quantity, 0)) Wrap each field within the expression to catch each missing value before the SUM() functio
