IFERROR Error

I am getting an error "Argument '2' in IFERROR function is required.

 

 

% of Stores with void =
IF(
    HASONEVALUE(DTRData[Item]),
        IFERROR(DIVIDE(
            SUM('DTRData'[Void Count]),
                [Total Store Count],0),
        IFERROR(DIVIDE(
            SUM('DTRData'[Void Count]),
                AVERAGEX(DTRData,[All Items All Stores Selling]),0),
   
)))
 
Any thoughts for correcting?

Hi @Anonymous 

The second argument isn't optional.

I know that but I am not sure what 2nd argument to list as I thought I had built the formula correctly.

Hi @Anonymous 

Because DIVIDE captures *almost* all possible errors, I'm wondering why you even need IFERROR (or ISERROR).

 

IF you need IFERROR for some reason, the following hopefully shows what you need.

 

% of Stores with void =
IF(
    HASONEVALUE( DTRData[Item] ),
    IFERROR(
        DIVIDE(
            SUM( 'DTRData'[Void Count] ),
            [Total Store Count],
            0
        ),
        ???     // Replace this with the expression you want calculated when the above expression would raise an error.
    ),
    IFERROR(
        DIVIDE(
            SUM( 'DTRData'[Void Count] ),
            AVERAGEX(
                DTRData,
                [All Items All Stores Selling]
            ),
            0
        ),
        ???     // Replace this with the expression you want calculated when the above expression would raise an error.
    )
)

 

 

If you want an example of ISERROR, let me know.

Are you sure you don't mean ISERROR?

ISERROR - DAX Guide

If the first argument would raise an error, it is replaced by the second argument.
