#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 🙂
