#NULL! Error Message

© Ted French

#NULL! errors occur when the two or more cell references are not separated correctly in a formula. Such as:

  • if multiple cell references in a formula are separated by a space instead of a mathematical operator such as a plus sign ( + ).

  • if the start and end points of cell ranges are not separated by a colon ( : )

Solution: Separate multiple cell references correctly.

  • use a comma is correctly used to separate cells in a function e.g. = SUM(D1, D2, D3, D4)

  • the start and end points of a range in a function are correctly separated by a colon ( : ) e.g. = SUM(D1:D4).

  • a mathematical operator, such as a plus or minus sign is used to separate cell references in a formula e.g. = D1 + D2 + D3 + D4.
