error.type function 1


Syntax

=ERROR.TYPE(error_val)


Arguments

  • error_val (required): The error for which the corresponding number would be returned.

Return Value

The ERROR.TYPE function returns an integer.


Function Notes

  • In most cases, error_val is supplied as a reference to a cell that may contain an error.
  • ERROR.TYPE can be used along with the IF function for a custom text result, instead of the error value.

Example

Let’s say we have a table of formulas as shown below, to get error codes of the formulas’ results, please copy or enter the formula below in the top cell, press Enter to get the result, and then drag the fill handle (at the lower right corner of the result cell) down to apply the formula to below cells.
