Hi Awfimohammed,
please check this link, were I have recently explained about the #SPILL! error, your case the error is appearing because the cells are merged. What you can do here in this scenario apply implicit intersection using the @ operator. That will resolve your issue
=@'Sheet 1'!B4:D5

ExcelExciting Thank you.
It seems Excel added a new feature that caused this error on merged cells. Thanks for the tip, it works.
My problem is that I want to distribute my workbook to many employees and I tried to find an easier way for them to make that calculation without getting SPILL! I finally used one cell instead of a merged to be safe.

Detlef_Lewin Yes that works. How did it work on your side if you use same formula ='Sheet 1'!B4:D5, does is also give you a SPILL error? as I mentioned other people have no issue with that, only my PC?

Yes, I also get a #SPILL! error.
People who don't get a #SPILL! error are probably using older versions of Excel.
