Count the number of cells in a range containing all types of Errors in Microsoft Excel

In this article, we will learn counting the number of cells in a range containing all types of errors in Microsoft Excel. We will use ISERROR  function along with  SUM and IF functions.

ISERROR  function is used to check whether a value is an error (#N/A, #VALUE!, #REF!, #DIV/0!, #NUM!, #NAME?, OR #NULL!) and returns True or False.

SUM function is used for adding all the numbers in a range or cells.

IF function checks whether a condition is met and returns one value if True and another value if False.

 
Let’s take an example to understand:-

We have a list of numbers in range A1:A8. In the list, some cells contain the Error. To count the errors in a list, follow the below given steps:-

• Write the formula in cell B2.
• =SUM(IF(ISERROR(A1:A8),1))
• Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter on your keyboard.
• After pressing the key, the formula will look like {=SUM(IF(ISERROR(A1:A8),1))}.
• The function will return the total count of errors.

 
Note: By using this formula, we can count the number of errors. We can also get a count of different types of errors. This is the way by which we count errors by using the ISERROR formula along with SUM and IF functions in Microsoft Excel.
