Excel N Function

Excel N Function Purpose Convert a value to a number Return value A number or error code Syntax  =N (value) Arguments  value - The value to convert to a number. Usage notes  Use the N function to convert value to a number. Values are converted according the following table: Input value Return value Any number Same number A recognized date A date in Excel serial number format TRUE 1 FALSE An error code (#VALUE, #N/A, etc) Same error code Other values www.prolearninghub.com

Excel N Function In most cases, using the N function is unnecessary, because Excel automatically converts values when needed. The N function is provided for compatibility with other spreadsheet programs. Note: you should know there is a tricky use of N() that allows you to use it as a way to leave in-cell comments. The technique:  add a plus sign at the end of your formula with a comment as text in quotes inside the N() function like so: =SUM(A1:A10) + N("This is my comment about this SUM function") When you click on that cell, you'll see both the formula and the comment in the formula bar. The N() function has no impact on the result of the function. In fact, you can add more than one N() function to a formula to annotate other functions, constants, or both. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel NA Function

Excel NA Function Purpose Return value Syntax Usage notes Create an #N/A error Return value  The #N/A error Syntax  =NA () Usage notes  Use NA to generate the #N/A. #N/A means "not available" or "no value available". For example, you can use NA to flag cells that are empty or missing information. When other formulas refer to cells that contain #N/A, the also return #N/A. NA takes no arguments, but you must provide empty parentheses. You can also enter the value #N/A directly into a cell. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel TYPE Function

Excel TYPE Function Usage notes Purpose Get the type of value in a cell Return value  A numeric code representing type Syntax  =TYPE (value) Arguments  value - The value to check the type of. Usage notes  Use TYPE to test the value in a particular cell so that other functions that depend on the type can perform as expected. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel TYPE Function You can use TYPE to find out the type of data that is returned by a function or formula. You can't use TYPE to test for a formula, because TYPE evaluates the result of formulas and functions. The table below shows the possible type codes returned from TYPE and the meaning of each: Type code Meaning 1 Number 2 Text 4 Logical value 16 Error value 64 Array www.prolearninghub.com

Excel AND Function

Excel And Function Purpose Test multiple conditions with AND Return value  TRUE if all arguments evaluate TRUE; FALSE if not Syntax  =AND (logical1, [logical2], ...) Arguments  logical1 - The first condition or logical value to evaluate. logical2 - [optional] The second condition or logical value to evaluate. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel And Function Usage notes Use the AND function to test multiple conditions at the same time, up to 255 conditions. Each logical condition (logical1, logical2, etc.) must evaluate to TRUE or FALSE, or be arrays or references that contain logical values. For example, to test if the value in A1 is greater than 0 and less than 5, use the following formula: =AND(A1>0,A1<5) It can be useful to extend the functionality of functions like IF with AND. Using the above example, you can supply AND as the logicaltest for the IF function like so: =IF(AND(A1>0,A1<5), "Approved", "Denied") This formula will return "Approved" only if the value in A1 is greater than 0 and less than 5. Notes: Text values or empty cells supplied as arguments are ignored. The AND function will return #VALUE if no logical values are found or created during evaluation. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel FALSE Function

Excel FALSE Function Purpose Return value Syntax Usage notes Generate the logical value FALSE Return value  The logical value FALSE Syntax  =FALSE () Usage notes  The FALSE function takes no arguments. Use FALSE to generate the logical value FALSE. For example, to return FALSE if the value in A1 < 0, use the formula: =IF(A1<0, FALSE()) www.prolearninghub.com

Excel FALSE Function Note that you can also just use enter the word FALSE directly into a cell or formula and Excel will interpret this as the logical value FALSE. For example, these formulas are functionally identical: =IF(A1<0, FALSE()) =IF(A1<0, FALSE) Both formulas return FALSE if the value in A1 < 0. Microsoft states that the FALSE function is provided mainly for compatibility with other spreadsheet applications. www.prolearninghub.com
