#NAME error
Hey there,
I'm pretty new to excel and just came across this error while playing around, can anyone explain to me what's the issue here? I'm pretty sure I entered the function in F2 correctly, but it keeps showing me the #NAME error even after creating the spreadsheet from scratch.
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Jakob
Hey there, it's me again. I've figured out the problem, and in case anyone else ever gets the same error: I mixed up English and German. The course I was doing showed instructions for the English version of Excel, where the command is "SUM", but since my excel is set to German the command needs to be "SUMME".
Cheers 🙂
