Iif Access
minute: Sign up iif (Iserror ()) 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 access #num error 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 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.

The only problem is when there is data available, it still keeps the 0. I know that it will show data, if there is data for the report and I take ms access report out the If Statement. Anyone else seen this issue and know how to resolve?

I have a form that shows the same information that the report does, it works on the form. But, I still get a #Error on the report.

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 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,
