Solution and Explanation
When Excel doesn’t recognize a formula (due to incorrect function name or spelling mistake), it returns a \#NAME? error. Causes:
- Misspelled function name (e.g., =SMM(A1:A5) instead of =SUM)
- Text not enclosed in double quotes
- Using undefined names or ranges
- Correct the spelling of the function or ensure the name is defined in the Name Manager.
- Enclose text values in double quotes inside formulas, e.g., =IF(A1=\"Yes\",1,0)
