When using RTD, the most common questions are about errors, unexpected results, and filling formulas across cells; this section includes 3 common answers.
FAQ
What should I do if RTD shows #VALUE! after I enter it?
- Check whether each parameter uses the expected data type.
- Make sure there are no extra spaces, incorrect text values, or incomplete references in the parameters.
- Open the Function Arguments dialog box again and review each field before confirming the formula.
Why does the RTD result differ from what I expected?
- Check whether the referenced range, parameter order, and separators are correct.
- Confirm that the related cell format is suitable for the result you want to display.
- Test the formula in one cell first, then copy it to other cells.
How can I use the RTD function in multiple cells?
- Enter the RTD formula in the first cell and confirm the result.
- Select that cell, then drag the fill handle over the target range, or copy and paste the formula.
- Check whether the copied references behave as expected, and adjust relative or absolute references if needed.
