Hi
Is there any formula that can shorten the below while having the same result? As when i need to add one more function into the cell, it stated "formula too long".
Thanks in advance![]()

I think it's fair to summarise (please correct me, of course, I can't see the raw data...)
=if( iserror( <complex lookup 1> ), 0, <complex lookup 1> ) + if( iserror( <complex lookup 2> ), 0, <complex lookup 2> )
You could split the formulae like so:
column 1 = <complex lookup 1>
column 2 = <complex lookup 2>
column 3 = if( iserror( <column 1 value> ), 0, <column 1 value> ) + if( iserror( <column 2 value> ), 0, <column 2 value> )
This has the added benefit of making it easier to edit the formulae as each lookup is only written once (and so only needs editing once if you need to change it).
You can easily hide the preceding columns.
