Often the best tool to use is the 'Evaluate formula' option. You can watch as each step of the formula is carried out and you hopefully will then be able to notice when it does something unexpected. You can then go back to your formula and correct it.

Click on the help icon and search for 'evaluate formula' for further information.

Feel free to message me with the formula and the problem if you are still stuck!

In Excel Describe two common formula errors?

A #NAME error occurs when a function name or reference is used in a formula that cannot be found in the spreadsheet. If you were using the SUM function and accidentally type it in as SM then you would get the #NAME error, because Excel would not know what SM is.A #VALUE error occurs when you try to do a calculation on something that is not numeric.

What formula would appear if you copied and pasted the formula?

That will depend on the original formula and where it is copied to. The formula may change if it is a formula using relative references. It will show an error if it is now trying to reference cells that do not exist. A formula with absolute references will not change. Formulas with mixed references will partially change. Formulas with no references will not change. So there are lots of factors that have to be considered when determining what will happen if the formula is copied and pasted.


Would you say How this error occurred or how did this error occur?
