For example if you have to sum a columns of numbers and one of them was mistakenly input as text, rather than throwing an error, it will just ignore that entry.

There are ways around that. Here's something I just put together as an example:

=EXACT(COUNT(A2:A6),COUNTA(A2:A6))

That will only return true if all the cells in range A2:A6 contain numbers.

There are other approaches that would work, if that doesn't suit you.
