MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. These examples replace the existing formula in the active cell with an IF statement that tests the formula results for an error value. If an error value is detected, the macro displays a zero instead of the cell error value.

Sample Visual Basic Procedures

   Sub ErrorToZero()
       X = Right(ActiveCell.Formula,Len(ActiveCell.Formula)-1)
       ActiveCell.Formula = "=IF(ISERROR(" & X & "),0," & X & ")"
   End Sub
				

NOTE: If a "0" is undesirable cell output, you can change it. In the Visual Basic for Applications code, replace the "0" on line two with the desired cell output.

Microsoft Excel 4.0 Macro

Example 1:

   =GET.FORMULA(ACTIVE.CELL())
   =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)
   =FORMULA("=IF(ISERROR("&A2&"),0,"&A2&")",)
   =RETURN()
				

NOTE: This macro must be started in cell A1. If a "0" is undesirable cell output, you can change it. In the Microsoft Excel 4.0 Macro Language, replace the "0" on line three with the desired cell output.

Example 2:

   x=GET.FORMULA(ACTIVE.CELL())
   y=RIGHT(x,LEN(x)-1)
   =FORMULA("=IF(ISERROR("&y&"),0,"&y&")",)
   =RETURN()
				

NOTE: In the Microsoft Excel 4.0 Macro Language, replace the "0" on line three with the desired cell output.
