prompter: Can you make an Excel formula that prints " " when the value is #div/0! and print the value when it's not

assistant: Sure. You can do this with the `ERROR.TYPE` function. Here are the relevant facts about `ERROR.TYPE`:

- If a cell contains the #DIV/0 error, `ERROR.TYPE` returns 2.
- If a cell contains a different error, `ERROR.TYPE` returns a numeric value other than 2.
- If a cell contains no error, `ERROR.TYPE` returns #N/A.

Our formula will work as follows:

- We check the value contains an error, using `ISERROR`.
  - If it does not, we return the value unchanged.
  - If it does, we check whether the error is #DIV/0, using `ERROR.TYPE`.
    - If it is, we return " ".
    - If it is not, we return the value unchanged.

Here is the formula, where `A1` is the cell we are running it on:

```scss
=IF(ISERROR(A1),IF(ERROR.TYPE(A1)=2," ",A1),A1)
```

You can replace `A1` with other cells or data ranges as needed.

prompter: Does this also work in Google Sheets and Libre Office Calc? Or do I need to change anything about the method?

assistant: Of course this method is applicable to Google Sheets and Libre Office Calc as well! You will probably need to change only a few minor details in the formula, but otherwise it should work just the same.


I should note that this method works best in Excel due to the way the ISERROR and ERROR.TYPE function works, but these functions do exist in Google Sheets and Libre Office Calc as well. So you can use this formula in almost any spreadsheet program!

assistant: you can use ERROR.TYPE function in Google Sheets and Libre Office Calc.

assistant: ```
=IFERROR(A1," ")
```
In this formula, `A1` is the cell reference to the value that you want to check for the #DIV/0! error. If the value in cell `A1` results in a #DIV/0! error, then the formula will print a blank space. If the value is not an error, then the formula will print the value.

prompter: But what happens when there's another type of error like "N/A" what can we do to include both error cases?

assistant: `IFERROR` checks for any error, so "N/A" would be handled as well if it's an error. If you wanted to handle different errors in different ways, you could use:
`=IFERROR(A1, IF(ERROR.TYPE(A1)=2," ", IF(ERROR.TYPE(A1)=7, "Not Available", "Unknown Error")))` 

2 is the `ERROR.TYPE` return value for `#DIV/0!`, and 7 is the return value for `#N/A`.

assistant: To include both the #DIV/0! and #N/A error cases, you can modify the formula to include the IFERROR and IF functions together. The new formula would be:

=IF(ISERROR(A1)," ",IF(A1="#DIV/0!"," ",A1))

In this formula, the ISERROR function checks if the value in cell A1 is any type of error, including #DIV/0! and #N/A. If the value is an error, then the formula prints a blank space. If the value is not an error, then the formula uses the IF function to check if the value is equal to #DIV/0!. If it is, then the formula prints a blank space. If it is not equal to #DIV/0!, then the formula prints the value.

This modified formula allows you to handle both #DIV/0! and #N/A error cases while still printing the value when there is no error.

assistant: =IF(A1,"#div/0!"," ",A1)
In the above formula, replace A1 with the cell that you want this formula to apply to.

prompter: Make 2 excel scripts. One which combines the information of two cells and the other which splits a cell into two parts, separated with a space.

assistant: Sure! Here are two Excel formulas, one to combine two cells and the other to split a cell into two parts separated by a space:

1. Combine two cells:
To combine the values of two cells (A1 and B1), you can use the CONCATENATE or "&" operator:
CONCATENATE formula: =CONCATENATE(A1," ",B1)
- "&" operator formula: =A1&" "&B1
- Both of these formulas will combine the values of cell A1 and B1 with a space between them.

2. Split a cell into two parts:
To split a cell into two parts separated by a space, you can use the LEFT and RIGHT functions:
- LEFT formula: =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)
- RIGHT formula: =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))

The LEFT function returns the left part of a string based on the position of a specified character, and the RIGHT function returns the right part of a string based on the position of a specified character. In this case, we are using the space character (" ") as the separator to split the cell value in A1 into two parts. The FIND function is used to locate the position of the space character, and the LEN function is used to determine the length of the string in A1.

Note that these formulas assume that the cell being split only contains one space character. If there are multiple spaces in the cell, the formulas will only split the text at the first space.
