COUNT - Why no error message

P

Paul Moles

Sorry about that pasted the wrong formula:

Harlan Grove suggested

IF(COUNT(1/(LEN(VLOOKUP(E4,A1:C5,2,0))>3)),"here","not
employed here")

Which works great I just don't understand why it doesn't
produce an error message as it appears to divide by zero.

Thanks

Hi Paul

its a lot easier on everyone if you stay in the same thread ... pick one of
the response to your first (or maybe second) post and reply to that with
your new comments.

Cheers

Enter =COUNT(1/0) and you'll see a 0. Even tho the 1/0 produces a #DIV/0!,
the COUNT function has no problem with that!
