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?

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