LibreOffice Calc (FREE) - how to use ISBLANK, ISNUMBER, ISERROR, ISNA and ISLOGICAL - Windows 11

I think the IS... function (ISBLANK,ISNUMBER, etc...) is important because the results can be used in function 'IF'. The data in a cell will be verified before further use.

The test steps - LibreOffice 7.5.2.2
OS: Windows 11 Home

1. If you don't know how to use function wizard, read the previous post.

ISBLANK, the definition in the app is Returns TRUE if value refers to an empty cell

 

I show you what this function behaves.

B3 contains formular.


 
Format cell B3.

2. ISNUMBER

B7 is a blank cell.

Type 456 in B7.


Type gud in B7.

B7 = B9/C9

3. ISERROR

B10 is a blank cell.

B10 = B12/C12 (B12 and C12 are blank cells).

B10 = B12/C12 (B12 = 0 and C12 is a blank cell).

4. ISNA


B13 is a blank cell.

Type #N/A in B13.


B13 contains formular that gives the result #N/A.

 

B13 contains formular that gives the result #VALUE!.
 
 
5. ISLOGICAL


In the picture below, cell D19 shows the result of ISLOGICAL(D13) which is TRUE.

Cell D13 shows the result of ISNA(B13)


ISLOGICAL returns TRUE.

ISLOGICAL returns FALSE.


If the value in ISLOGICAL is TRUE or FALSE that comes from the function, ISLOGICAL returns TRUE.

These 5 functions will be helpful
for checking values in cells
