Excel Formula Parse Error

  • 2

Hello,

Can someone please tell me why this is giving me a ‘formula parse error’?

=IF(ISBLANK(I6),ʺblankʺ,((((I6-I5)*2.3))+(((J6-J5)*0.26))))

Thanks.

  1. Did you perhaps write the formula in Word?
    It’s your smart quotes that Excel does not like.

    and why all the parenthesis, this works just as well

    =IF(ISBLANK(I6),”blank”,((I6-I5)*2.3)+((J6-J5)*0.26))
