r/excel on Reddit: My mode(if formula is returning #N/A no matter what I try.
February 7, 2019 -

I'm trying to create a mode if formula. I have an array of data for which I'm looking for the mode of certain variables. Basically, I'm looking to create a table using the mode values for the criteria.
I have tried using the following function: =MODE(IF([DATA ARRAY]=COMPARATIVE VALUE,DATA))
But, I have been unable to get it to work, despite using ctrl, shift, enter.
I need help to figure this out.

How to fix the #N/A error - Excel formula | Exceljet
May 6, 2021 - Approximate match mode will happily return all kinds of results that are totally incorrect :) One option for trapping the #N/A error is the IFERROR function. IFERROR can gracefully catch any error and return an alternative result . In the example shown, the #N/A error appears in cell F5 because "ice cream" does not exist in the lookup table, which is the named range "data" (B5:C9).

How to Locate and Resolve the #N/A Error in Excel | Excelchat
June 13, 2019 - Excel generally returns the #N/A error in response to some type of lookup function to tell you that item you are searching for isn’t identified or found. These functions include VLOOKUP, LOOKUP, HLOOKUP, and MATCH. A simple error in the formula such as an extra space, a name or product misspelling, or an option that doesn’t exist can result in this error.

Hi,

I'm Sneha and I'd be happy to help you out with your question.

It sounds like you are trying to use VLOOKUP to match names in one list with corresponding numerical values in another list. If you are getting #N/A errors, it could be because the names in the two lists are not an exact match. VLOOKUP only returns a result if the lookup value is exactly equal to the value in the first column of the lookup range.

There are a few things you can try to troubleshoot this issue. First, you can try using the TRIM function to remove any leading or trailing spaces from the names in both lists. This can help ensure that the names are an exact match. You can use the formula =TRIM(cell) to remove extra spaces from a cell.

Another thing you can try is using the IFERROR function to handle the #N/A errors. IFERROR will return a specified value if a formula returns an error, so you can use it to return a blank or a default value instead of the #N/A error. For example, you can use the formula =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2:B1201,F2:G1133,2,FALSE),"") to return a blank value instead of the #N/A error.

You can also try using the MATCH function in combination with VLOOKUP to find approximate matches. MATCH can be used to find the position of a value in a range, and then VLOOKUP can be used to return the corresponding value in a different column. For example, you can use the formula =VLOOKUP(MATCH(B2:B1201,F2:F1133,0),F2:G1133,2,FALSE) to find the approximate position of the lookup value in the first column of the lookup range, and then use VLOOKUP to return the corresponding value in the second column.

If you have any other questions or need assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm here to help to the best of my ability.

Hi,

This should work. Copy the formula down

=xlookup(B2,$F$2:$F$1133,$G$2:$G$1133,"")

Hope this helps.

case study - Excel mode error
After attempting to reproduce the error it became clear what was wrong. Excel has various modes of which two of the main ones are: ... I was actually in cell editing mode and in this mode Excel does not allow closing the spreadsheet through the close box (but does allow this through the File menu!). I was actually still in the middle of editing the last cell I'd changed and needed to confirm this by hitting the 'return' key which would have taken me back into navigation mode (figure 2) from whence I'd have been able to close the window normally.
