SOLVED - Error message instead the calculation of an correct COUNTIF formula.

Hi everybody,

 

Excel is supposed to be logical, but I can't recognize it. My COUNTIF formula is exact and yet it refuses to compute it by sending me an error message (see attached picture). I tried several variants, to close and reopen the program, but nothing works. Any idea how to solve this problem?

 

Many thanks

C.

    If you use a point as decimal separator, you should use comma to separate the arguments of a function:

     

    =COUNTIF(F4:F9,"oui")

        And common problem when you juggle between computers configured with different languages... Never paid attention to this difference in separator before. Thanks for your help!

         

        Best!
