#VALUE in formula as opposed to result

S

Spike

I have come across a formula with #VALUE actually in the formula as opposed
to the result. What does this mean, if it is correct why would someone code
it into the formula and what does it do as the result is a number and not
#REF or #VALUE.

Any advices will be gratefully received

Can you post the formula?

Formula is =IF(ABS(I82-I130)>Tolerance_Fund,#VALUE!+I82)

This actually produces a numeric result

Hi Spike,

This is not a complete formula.
An IF should have a TRUE part and a FALSe part, like in:
=IF(Condition, TrueValue,FalseValue)
Your formula has been corrupted one way or another. It should read something
like
=IF(ABS(I82-I130)>Tolerance_Fund,I79,I82)
But why do you say it gives a numeric result? What? and what, again, are the
input values?
Do you have any idea what the formula is *supposed* to do?

I do apologise you are absolutely right there is a second comma after the
word VALUE which i never noticed and makes it a proper IF statement. I am
sorry to have wasted both your's and bob's time.

I am off for an eye test!!!

Many thanks
