Excel shows the #VALUE! error when your formula includes cells that have different data types (text and numeric values). The #VALUE! error is also shown when a formula references one or more cells that have text instead of numbers, and uses the standard math operators (+, -, *, and /) to add, subtract, multiply, or divide the different data types.
When there is a cell reference to an error value, IF displays the #VALUE! error. Solution: You can use any of the error-handling formulas such as ISERROR, ISERR, or IFERROR along with IF. The following topics explain how to use IF, ISERROR and ISERR, or IFERROR in a formula when your argument refers to error values.
This topic provides help for the most common scenarios for the #VALUE! error in the AVERAGE or SUM functions.
Using the syntax =SUMIFS(C2:C10,A2:A12,A14,B2:B12,B14) will result in the #VALUE! error. Solution: Following this example, change the sum_range to C2:C12 and retry the formula. Note: SUMIF can use different size ranges.
Problem: the value in the find_text argument cannot be found in the within_text string. If the function cannot find the text to be found in the specified text string, it will throw a #VALUE! error. For example, a function like: =FIND("gloves","Gloves (Youth)",1)
Problem: The lookup_value argument is more than 255 characters. Solution : Shorten the value, or use a combination of INDEX and MATCH functions as a workaround. This is an array formula.
This topic explains the common scenarios where you encounter the #VALUE! error when using INDEX and MATCH functions together in a formula.
If your system date and time settings follow the mm/dd/yyyy format, then a formula such as =DATEVALUE(“22/6/2000”) will result in a #VALUE! error. But the same formula will display the correct value when the system's date and time is set to dd/mm/yyyy format.
The most common scenario where the #VALUE! error occurs in TIMEVALUE is when the time_text argument contains a value other than a text string. The time_text argument has to be a valid text value, not a number or a time value.
Microsoft Excel shows the #DIV/0! error when a number is divided by zero (0). It happens when you enter a simple formula like =5/0 , or when a formula refers to a cell that has 0 or is blank, as shown in this picture.
