Why is my formula not working

Hi Experts,

I use this formula for column MODEL COUNT on a lot of sheets, but only on one sheet it's not working and I get "no match".

I'm not able to find the reason.

Could you please help. This is my formula:

=IF([helper column]@row = MIN(COLLECT([helper column]:[helper column], [Model Number]:[Model Number], @cell = [Model Number]@row)), 1)

  • Hi @Christine Menke

    I see that your column "helper column" uses a formula as well. Is it possible that even one cell in that helper column contains the error "NO MATCH"? If so, then this other formula will bubble up that one cell instead of skipping over it.

    Try wrapping an IFERROR statement around your helper column formula, like so:

    =IFERROR(formula, "")

    Cheers,

    Genevieve

  • Hi @Genevieve P. ,

    thanks for your feedback. I found the reason why it was not working yesterday. I had an row with empty cell at the bottom of the sheet. After deleting it the formula was working.
