ISNUMBER Function Tutorial

The ISNUMBER function in Excel is used to check if a value is a number. It returns TRUE if the value is a number, and FALSE if it is not.

Syntax:

ISNUMBER(value)
  • value: The value you want to check. This can be a cell reference, a formula, or a direct input.

Example 1:
If cell A1 contains the number 123, the formula =ISNUMBER(A1) will return TRUE.

Example 2:
If cell A2 contains the text “Hello”, the formula =ISNUMBER(A2) will return FALSE.

Example 3:
If cell A3 contains the formula =1+2, the formula =ISNUMBER(A3) will return TRUE because the result of 1+2 is a number.

Use Cases:

  • Validate if a cell contains a numeric value.
  • Combine with other functions like IF to create conditional logic based on whether a value is a number.

Note:

  • ISNUMBER only checks if the value is a number. It does not convert text to numbers or perform any calculations.
