Hi Kerry

Thank you for your question.

Normally you will need to look at the function and troubleshoot this yourself. Common mistakes are:

- missing brackets, or not including enough brackets if you are creating a nested if funtion

- if you are using numbers as part of any of the arguments of the function, including commas within the numbers (e.g. 1,000 instead of 1000) will confuse Excel as it will think where the comma is within the number is where you have ended that particular argument

- not including a 'value if false' argument as the final argument in a nested if function.

- putting in the wrong symbol, e.g using > as less than rather than greater than.

I hope this helps.

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
