 To use Excel's IFERROR() function, which allows you to handle errors in your formulas by returning a specified value when an error occurs, follow these steps:

Open Excel: Launch Excel and open the worksheet containing the formula you want to handle errors for.

Select a cell: Click on the cell where you want to apply the IFERROR() function.

Type the function: In the selected cell, type =IFERROR( to start the function.

Enter the formula: After typing =IFERROR(, enter the formula that you want to evaluate. This is the formula that may potentially produce an error.

Specify the value to return if error: After entering the formula, specify the value that you want Excel to return if the formula produces an error. This can be a specific value, text, or another formula.

Close the function: Close the parentheses ) to complete the function.

Press Enter: After closing the parentheses, press Enter to execute the function. The result will appear in the selected cell. If the formula produces an error, the value specified in step 5 will be returned. If no error occurs, the result of the formula will be displayed.

Here's an example:

Suppose you have a formula in cell C1 that divides the value in cell A1 by the value in cell B1:

=A1/B1

If B1 contains the value 0, this formula will produce a #DIV/0! error. To handle this error and display "Error" instead, you can use the IFERROR() function:

=IFERROR(A1/B1, "Error")

This formula will return the result of A1/B1 if no error occurs. If an error occurs (such as dividing by zero), it will return "Error". This way, you can handle errors gracefully in your Excel spreadsheets.
