How to use it in your own spreadsheet

  1. Identify the cells or inputs that correspond to the sample values above.
  2. Enter the formula in an empty cell, changing the references or literal values to match your sheet.
  3. Compare the output with a manual check on a small known example.
  4. Extend the formula to a larger dataset only after you understand the result.

Common problems and practical checks

  • Be explicit about the difference between TRUE/FALSE, zero, blank cells and text values.
  • Consider how errors are handled instead of automatically suppressing them.
  • A pasted formula may produce an error when it uses the other program’s argument separator or unsupported options.
