3. Check errors and recalculate results

Entry point: Cell with an existing formula → Formula bar

  2. Check whether parentheses, separators, and argument types are correct.
  3. Check whether the referenced cells contain data that fits the calculation.
  4. After making changes, press Enter to recalculate the result.

Success Criteria

  • Next actions: You can continue copying, filling, or saving the spreadsheet.
