TYPE
Returns the type of value (number, text, etc.).
Syntax:
TYPE(value)
- Returns the type of value as a number: 1 = number, 2 = text, 4 = logical value, 8 = formula, 16 = error value.
- If a cell contains both an error and a formula, 16 (error value) is returned.
- A blank cell is classed as a number here, and 1 is returned.
Example:
TYPE(C2)
- where cell C2 contains dog returns 2, because dog is text.
TYPE(C3)
- where cell C3 contains =NA() returns 16, because NA() returns the error value #N/A.
