  • Hi Manuel,

     

    I guess, you imported the data from a text file or a CSV file? It looks like that the values have been imported as text ($ 123...). Therefore, when adding the values by using a formula, you get an error. So, please transform the values from text to values.

     

    An easy way to import data from text is to use the Get & Transform features (Daten abrufen und transformieren) from your Excel version. For example, in the Data tab, click on From Text/CSV (Daten / Aus Text/CSV) and select your text file or CSV file. Then, a dialog opens which looks like the following sample screenshot in German:

     

     

    In this window, click on Edit (Bearbeiten) for opening the query editor (Abfrageeditor). Now you have a lot of options to transform your data, for example changing the data format and so on.

     

     

    Once you are done, click on Close & Load (Schließen & laden) to import the data on a sheet. And then, you can perform your calculations.

     

    Best,

        Hello,

        the Get & Transform features lets you import data from websites too. I attached a sample, where I did some formattings in the query editor. You may do additional formattings, e.g. replace M and B by their meanings. Note: I did this in Excel German, so the steps are in German.

         

        Best,

        Mourad
