IFNA function
This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the IFNA function in Microsoft Excel.
Description
Returns the value you specify if the formula returns the #N/A error value; otherwise returns the result of the formula.
Syntax
IFNA(value, value_if_na)
The IFNA function syntax has the following arguments.
-
Value Required. The argument that is checked for the #N/A error value.
-
Value_if_na Required. The value to return if the formula evaluates to the #N/A error value.
Remarks
-
If Value or Value_if_na is an empty cell, IFNA treats it as an empty string value ("").
-
If Value is an array formula, IFNA returns an array of results for each cell in the range specified in value.
Example
Copy the example data in the following table, and paste it in cell A1 of a new Excel worksheet. For formulas to show results, select them, press F2, and then press Enter. If you need to, you can adjust the column widths to see all the data.
Formula | Description | Result |
=IFNA(VLOOKUP("Seattle",$A$5:$B$10,0),"Not found") | IFNA tests the result of the VLOOKUP function. Because Seattle is not found in the lookup range, VLOOKUP returns the #N/A error value. IFNA returns the string "Not found" in the cell instead of the standard #N/A error value. | Not found |
