Question

In the spreadsheet shown below, we computed profit earned by selling houses by entering the formula =F8-E8 in cell G8 and copying it down to G9:G11. We used the word open to denote a house that is not yet sold. Unfortunately, when a house has not yet been sold our spreadsheet shows the #VALUE error, because you cannot subtract the buy price from the word open. We would like to "error trap" Column G so that when a house has been sold the correct profit has been computed and if the house has not yet been sold a _ will be entered in Column G. How many of the following formulas could be entered in cell G8 and copied down to G9:G11 to achieve this goal?

• I. IFERROR(F8-E8,"_ ")
• II. ISERROR(F8-E8," _")
• III. IF(COUNT(G8)>0,F8-E8,"_")
• IV. IFERROR(F8-E8,_)
• V. IFERROR(E8-F8,"_ ")

Explanation / Answer

to get the required result that is to get "_" when sell price is not mentioned and correct answer when it is mentioned we can use only one options out of the given five options and that is option I therefore just I is the correct answer because the syatax to get the required answe is IFERROR(value,"value_if_error") where value the is value to be checked for error and value_if_error is the value that needs to be displayed.IFERROR() formula checks a formula (or expression) and returns the value of formula if there is no error, otherwise a custom formula. so we should write IFERROR(F8-E8,"_")
