Hi,
I am having so much trouble learning how to properly combine multiple functions/arguments into one functioning formula. There are three types of problems in Columns A:D, NULL values, #N/A values, and blank cells. I need all of these to be turned into #N/A values, and have been directed to do so using the IFS function. Here is the formula I am trying, but I keep getting a parse error with this. =IFS(ISNA(A2), OR(ISBLANK(A2), (ISERR(A2), "#N/A"))). I have also tried =IFS(OR(ISNA(A2), (ISBLANK(A2), (ISERR(A2), "#N/A"))), with the same error. And =IFS(OR(ISNA(A2), ISBLANK(A2), ISERR(A2), "#N/A")), which has given me the #N/A error, stating not enough arguments. I am not able to upload a mini sheet, but below is a shot of part of the sheet I am working with. Any help is appreciated.

Hi

The formula spits out #N/A text and not #NA error.

This one is not throwing an error, but is giving me the same results as this formula that I had tried as well, it is just populating all the food names from Column A regardless whether it should be a #N/A.

=IF(OR(A2="NULL", ISNA(A2), ISBLANK(A2)), "#N/A", A2)

Have you tried the formula I gave you in #2

Excel Formula:
=IFS(OR(ISNA(A2),ISBLANK(A2),ISERR(A2)),"#N/A",True,A2)
