ISERRVALUE Function [Visio 2003 SDK Documentation]

Returns TRUE if the value of cellreference is error type #VALUE, where an argument in the formula is the wrong type. The ISERRVALUE function is used in logical expressions that refer to another cell.

ISERRVALUE(cellreference)

Remarks

Scratch cells A through D won't return a #VALUE! error because the formula can contain numbers and letters in the same string. Cells X and Y must contain numbers only.

Example 1

Cell Formula Value returned
Scratch.X1 = "House" #VALUE!
Scratch.A1 = If (ISERRVALUE(Scratch.X1),2,Scratch.X1) 2

Returns 2 because the value returned is a #VALUE! error, and the expression instructs Microsoft Office Visio to return a 2 in place of the error.

Example 2

Cell Formula Value returned
Scratch.A1 ="5 + 7" 5 + 7
Scratch.B1 =If (ISERRVALUE(Scratch.A1),2,Scratch.A1) 5 + 7

Returns 12 because the value returned is not a #VALUE! error, and the expression instructs the Visio application to return the value of the original cell.
