If you are using implied multiplication, you must make it explicit. =(A1)A2 Right: =(A1)*A2 3. Check for Misplaced Spaces or Characters Show you that frequently trigger this error In
Ensure that functions are not missing necessary operators between them. =SUM(A1:A5)AVERAGE(B1:B5) Right: =SUM(A1:A5)+AVERAGE(B1:B5) such as =A1 B1 . Sometimes
Writing 2(A1+B1) instead of 2*(A1+B1) . Calc requires the explicit asterisk operator.
Two values or cell references are placed next to each other without an operator, such as =A1 B1 .
Sometimes, copying formula text from another application can introduce hidden, illegal characters. Re-typing the formula often resolves this. 4. Correct Function Structure
