- Replace sample references like A2, B2, or Table1 with your real cells or table columns.
- Test the formula on two or three rows before copying it down.
- Format the result column as Number, Date, Currency, or Percentage when needed.
- Keep a backup copy of your original data before applying formulas across a large range.
Common mistakes
- Using text values where Excel expects numbers or dates.
- Forgetting quotation marks around text criteria.
- Copying a formula without locking fixed references using dollar signs.
- Applying the wrong number format and thinking the formula is wrong.
