If error returning compare to string text.

Hello Guys,


Would you mind helping with the error, here's the formula not sure if this is right, but when I drag the formula to the below row I'm getting an error compares to a string to a number (blue thing)? can you guys help me?


here's the formula that I'm using.


IF(K53>0,IFERROR((K53−L53)×D53×100,"–"),"–")



the other formulas work great, but those columns had already a formula for other columns, will that be an issue?

Hello SG,


Thank you for replying to this issue, so I switched to "" instead of "-" still the same error? do you think is the formula? or maybe i'm doing something wrong, the reason that I drag it down to next row is to automatically copy that formula, as you can see all other colums have formulas and it populates "-" this as not data found. How do I look for all to be text? how the other columns return just find w/ "-")

Thank you so much, it worked, one more thing I have the same issue with the table, do you think I can use the same formula above.


the formula work but when is not data to calculate, it gives me the blue thing again, I want to be able to add this automatically when i add a entry


LARGE(Table 1::B2:B16,1)

SMALL(Table 1::B2:B16,1)
