Hi all, I have the below formula in cell N16
=IFERROR(INDEX(P16:IK16,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,P16:IK16)),"No Data")
the outcome of the formula is No Data

in cell F14 I have the number 4

In a separate cell, I have the following TRUE / FALSE statement =N16>F14
the answer I'm getting is TRUE. So my question is why do I get the answer TRUE ? I'm not understanding why "No Data" (in cell N16) is considered greater than 4 (in cell F14).
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Any text value is greater than any number.
