This article is part of a guided course that helps you learn how to use Airtable formulas. Having a single text value (🚨 Alert) in this field could trigger a notification to a project manager so they can review, or filter in records into a view where someone can address any missing/incorrect values as needed).Ĭircling back to the ERROR() function, you could also use that in place of a customized message! IF( Rather than the formula above - or a more complex IF statement to account for each potential error scenario - you could instead use this: IF( In the screenshot below you'll see a couple of different errors showing in, or a zero value in net sales, etc). There are tons of ways to use the scripting app, so the Airtable team has collected some of our favorite examples, both internally and from the community, to. This function can be helpful in identifying any type of error in a formula. As an example, because you cannot divide a number by zero, this formula example would result as true: ISERROR() returns "true" (represented by a 1) if the expression it references causes an error, or "false" (0) if there is no error. To show how this looks in an Airtable base, here is a formula field that only has This means that you can output an error message - #ERROR!- by calling this function. ERROR()ĮRROR() is a logical function that returns the error value. This article is part of a guided course which you can view here. In this article, we’ll cover different approaches to identifying and outputting errors in a formula field. Fortunately, with the help of logical functions, you can catch those errors and present something more useful in their place. Formulas provide so many possibilities that, by nature, some of those possibilities will result in an error.
