The IFERROR function is a useful tool in Google Sheets for handling errors that may arise in your spreadsheet calculations. This function allows you to specify what value you want to be returned if a formula or cell reference returns an error value. By using the IFERROR function, you can make your spreadsheets more robust and reliable.

Here's how to use the IFERROR function in Google Sheets:

  1. Select the cell where you want the result to appear.
  2. Type the following formula: =IFERROR(value, value_if_error)
  3. Replace value with the formula or cell reference you want to evaluate.
  4. Replace value_if_error with the value you want to be returned if the formula or cell reference returns an error value.
  5. Press Enter to complete the formula.

That's it! The IFERROR function will now evaluate the specified formula or cell reference and return the value you specified if an error occurs.
