IFERROR and number / currency as value_if_error
I have the following columns in my worksheet:
In the "Bookings" column, I have the following formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX({Bookings Table Total Bookings}, MATCH(pfid@row, {Bookings Table PF}, 0)), "")
In my "Adjusted Bookings" column, I have the following formula:
=[sbe_allocation]@row * Bookings@row
However, as you can see, I get the #INVALID OPERATION message when the value_if_error returns a blank. I tried modifying the formula as follows:
=IFERROR(INDEX({Bookings Table Total Bookings}, MATCH(pfid@row, {Bookings Table PF}, 0)), "$0")
but Smartsheet treats the "$0" as text rather than a currency value. So, then I tried to enter the value_if_error as "0," but Smartsheet also treats this as text, and the #INVALID OPERATION error does not resolve.
Is there a workaround here? Like an "ISNUMBER" wrapper for the value_if_error?

Thanks, Andrée. I reverted back to leaving the cell blank for my value_if_error and putting the Adjusted bookings total into this formula:
=IF(ISBLANK(Bookings@row), "", ([sbe_allocation]@row * Bookings@row))
That seemed to work, and it's better for me to have the blanks than 0s in those cells so I can distinguish products that genuinely have $0 in bookings versus products for which we are missing bookings data.
Thanks as always for the help!

Try removing the ”” around the 0 so it looks something like below.
=IFERROR(INDEX({Bookings Table Total Bookings}, MATCH(pfid@row, {Bookings Table PF}, 0)), 0)
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
