    =iferror(your formula,"")
    To attach worksheet Go advanced -> Manage attachments -> Choose file -> Upload
    Don't forget to Mention your desired result in the sheet..
    There should be sample data only, a lot of data creates confusion.

    Thanks & Regards

    #NULL! 1 Incorrect Range Operators.
    #DIV/0! 2 Divided By Zero.
    #VALUE! 3 Incorrent Data Types.
    #REF! 4 Invalid Range.
    #NAME? 5 Formula or Range Misspelled.
    #NUM! 6 Huge Value.
    #N/A 7 Data is Missing.

    #Name error refer to misspelled that means you have typed wrong word for function.

    Does your excel compatible for ifs function ?

    Re: Ifs formula throwing error #Name?

    Thank you popipipo for your valuable suggestion. Is there alternate solution for the ifs formula which can be matched with my present requirement. If you can please do provide alternate solution for Ifs formula from Cell Q5 till S7, would be a great help.

    Many thanks and kind regards,

    Neilesh

    Re: Ifs formula throwing error #Name?

    Maybe something like this:
    =SUMPRODUCT((I3:O3=K3)*(I4:O4)-(I3:O3=I3)*(I4:O4))

    Hi popipipo, the provided formula is not providing the correct result based on the drop down changes. Request to you please do provide the Ifs alternate from Cell Q5 till R7.

    To help those trying to help you, please attach your latest version of the workbook where you say it isn't working.

    Modify the formula in Q4 as following & see if it works:

    =IF('C:\Users\NDubey\Desktop\[BatchMaster Financial Planner_FY2018_Ver.09.xlsb]P&L Variance'!$CE$8=1,K4-I4,IF('C:\Users\NDubey\Desktop\[BatchMaster Financial Planner_FY2018_Ver.09.xlsb]P&L Variance'!$CE$8=2,O4-M4,IF('C:\Users\NDubey\Desktop\[BatchMaster Financial Planner_FY2018_Ver.09.xlsb]P&L Variance'!$CE$8=3,O4-I4,IF('C:\Users\NDubey\Desktop\[BatchMaster Financial Planner_FY2018_Ver.09.xlsb]P&L Variance'!$CE$8=4,K4-M4,IF('C:\Users\NDubey\Desktop\[BatchMaster Financial Planner_FY2018_Ver.09.xlsb]P&L Variance'!$CE$8=5,M4-I4,"")))))

    btw.
    IFS() function is available for Excel 365 (2016 for subscribers) and not available for Excel 2016 for Mac.
    I don't think 62-bit version exist
