Default NZ function equivalent in Excel

Does Excel have an equivalent to the Access function NZ? I want to avoid
having to perform a double VLOOKUP (one to determine if the value is
non-numeric/non-existant, the second to pull the actual value in the event it
is numeric).
E.g:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,M1:N30,2,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP( A1,M1:N30,2,FALSE))

I've written a custom function to address it, but would rather not have
users with high security levels blocked from using the function.

For reference, the function I built is here (yes, it's not an exact
match...but it does what I need for now):

<snip
Public Function NZ(CellVal As Variant) As Variant

Select Case VarType(CellVal)
Case vbError
NZ = 0
Case vbInteger, vbLong, vbDouble, vbSingle, vbCurrency, vbDecimal, vbByte
NZ = CellVal
Case Else
NZ = "#WRONG_TYPE"
End Select

End Function
</snip

....such that the equivalent to the above is:
=NZ(VLOOKUP(A1,M1:N30,2,FALSE))

Thanks!

Thumbs up Answer: NZ function equivalent in Excel

Yes, Excel has an equivalent function to Access' NZ function. The function is called IFERROR.

The IFERROR function allows you to specify a value to return if a formula returns an error. This can be useful in situations where you want to display a specific value instead of an error message.

Here's an example of how you can use the IFERROR function to replace your current formula:
  1. =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,M1:N30,2,FALSE),0)

This formula will return the value from the VLOOKUP function if it is successful, and will return 0 if the VLOOKUP function returns an error.

You can also use the IFERROR function with other formulas that may return errors, such as division by zero errors or #VALUE! errors.

Unless you're using Excel 2007 you're likely out of luck.

In 2007 there is a new IFERROR(value1,value2) function that returns value1
if it is not an error, otherwise returns value2

Excel 2007 has a new function called IFERROR but not earlier versions

IFERROR(VLOOKUP(),0)

So you are stuck with either a UDF or

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,M1:M30,0)),VLOOKUP(A1,M1:N30 ,2,FALSE),0)

or

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,M1:N30,2,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP(A1, M1:N30,2,FALSE))

Try this:

=IF(COUNTIF(M1:M30,A1),VLOOKUP(A1,M1:N30,2,0),0)

If I'm not mistaken, this is better than what I had started with, but still
requires both a table scan and a separate aggregation. However, given my
version limitation (Office 2003), may be the best solution short of keeping
the custom formula.

Thanks Mama!

Note that COUNTIF does not make any difference between text numbers and
"real" numbers whereas MATCH and VLOOKUP do, so you can still get the #N/A!
error after passing the countif test.
