    Can you use formulas such as IFERROR, IF nested with pwr formulas? If not, will an update to do this be released in the near future?

    • Charlie Nichols

      Yes, pwr* functions can be nested within built-in functions in Excel. For example, =IF(pwrISBROKENURL(“https://officepowerups.com/brokenurl”),”its broken”, “it’s good”) works as expected.

      If you have specific function questions please contact support@officepowerups.com.

      Thanks
