How do I fix the #VALUE! error in my Excel formula?

The #VALUE! error usually occurs when the formula has the wrong type of argument. Can you share the formula you're using?

😀
You

I'm using =SUM(A1:A10) + B1, but B1 contains text.

That’s likely the issue! Excel can't sum text with numbers. You can either change B1 to a number or use IFERROR to handle it.

How do I use IFERROR in this case?

You can modify your formula to: =SUM(A1:A10) + IFERROR(B1, 0). This will treat any error in B1 as 0.

You

Thanks! That makes sense. What if I want to ignore errors in the entire range?

You can use: =SUMIF(A1:A10, "<>#VALUE!"). This will sum only the cells that do not contain the #VALUE! error.
