What is IFNA called in Spanish?

In Spanish Excel it is SI.ND. The formula =IFNA(VLOOKUP(D2,$A$2:$B$6,2,FALSE),"No price") is written =SI.ND(BUSCARV(D2;$A$2:$B$6;2;FALSO);"Sin precio") (or with commas in Mexico).

Why does IFNA use semicolons in some Excel versions?

It depends on regional settings. Where the comma is the decimal mark (Spain, much of South America), Excel separates arguments with semicolons. English Excel and Mexican Spanish Excel use commas.

Excel IFNA function

Returns an alternative value only when the formula returns #N/A (not found). In Spanish Excel it is called SI.ND.

Syntax

English Excel

=IFNA(value, value_if_na)

Spanish Excel (Mexico)

=SI.ND(valor, valor_si_nd)

Spanish Excel (Spain, Latin America)

=SI.ND(valor; valor_si_nd)

Argument	What it is
value	The formula, usually a lookup.
value_if_na	What to show on #N/A.

Example

IFNA is like IFERROR, but it only catches #N/A, the "not found" error. That way you do not hide other errors you do want to see.

=IFNA(VLOOKUP(D2,$A$2:$B$6,2,FALSE),"No price")

Common mistake

It is safer than IFERROR for lookups: it does not hide other errors, such as a mistyped range.

Example=IFNA(VLOOKUP(D2,$A$2:$B$6,2,FALSE),"Sin precio")SI.ND = IFNA BUSCARV = VLOOKUP BUSCARX = XLOOKUP INDICE = INDEX

In E2, look up the price for the code in D2. If it does not exist, show "No price".

	A	B	D	E
1	Code	Price	Find	Price
2	P-101	1,299	P-103
3	P-102	189	P-110
4	P-103	95	P-105
