N Formula Syntax

=N("123")

Example Use Case

Converting values to numbers for calculations

Understanding the N Formula

The N function in Excel converts a value to a number, handling different data types in specific ways. It's a type conversion tool for numeric operations—like ensuring inputs are numeric before calculations or standardizing data types.

N("123") returns 0 since text cannot be directly converted to a number. It takes any value and converts it following specific rules: numbers remain unchanged, TRUE becomes 1, FALSE becomes 0, error values remain errors, and everything else becomes 0—useful for transforming logical values or filtering non-numeric data.

Why Use N?

N enforces numeric context—think logical-to-numeric conversion or ensuring calculation compatibility. Its type-specific conversion behavior makes it valuable for creating formulas that need to handle mixed data types consistently, especially when working with TRUE/FALSE values in numeric calculations.

Example with Sample Data

Value	Formula	Result
42	=N(42)	42
TRUE	=N(TRUE)	1
FALSE	=N(FALSE)	0
"Hello"	=N("Hello")	0

N converts to numbers: numbers stay as is, TRUE becomes 1, FALSE becomes 0, text becomes 0. It's particularly useful in formulas like =SUM(A1:A10*N(B1:B10=TRUE)) to sum only when conditions are met. It's a type converter for numeric context.
