ISOMITTED function

Check whether a LAMBDA argument was omitted.

A supplied zero, FALSE, empty text, blank-cell reference or error is present. Use IF with ISOMITTED to define a default. The browser also supports bracketed trailing optional declarations, local forwarding, captured values and array results on the checked cases. Native Excel versions and complete omission/coercion compatibility remain unverified.

Syntax

ISOMITTED(argument)

Square brackets indicate optional arguments.

Arguments

argumentYesThe value you want to test, such as a LAMBDA parameter.value

Try ISOMITTED

Treat a supplied error as present and preserve its error type

=LET(calc,LAMBDA(value,[extra],IF(ISOMITTED(extra),value,extra)),HSTACK(calc(A2),calc(A2,NA()),ISOMITTED(NA())))

The omitted call selects the default base 7. The second call supplies an actual NA() error, so the selected extra result remains a typed #N/A error. Testing that error with ISOMITTED returns FALSE: an error was supplied. The download retains the formula and its error cell.
