    Trying to Resolve #Name? Errors in Transition from Google Sheets to Excel

    Hi Guys,
    As title states, transferring a spreadsheet from google sheets to excel and have come across some #NAME? errors that I'm trying to resolve and can't figure out where the errors are with it. The original file in google sheets all worked correctly to retrieve the data and make the calculations, but something has gone awry in the transition. Trying to fix columns I, J and L. Hope I attached the file correctly here

    Which version of Excel? What does 16 mean - is it Excel 2016?

    Remove @ signs from the formulae:

    =(IFS($C2="Junior 15-18 Boys", "no", $C2="Junior 10-14 Boys", "no",$C2="Junior 15-18 Girls", "no",$C2="Junior 10-14 Girls", "no",$C2="Men 5", "yes",$C2="Women 5", "yes",$C2="Masters 40+ 1/2/3/4", "no",$C2="Masters 50+ 1/2/3/4", "no",$C2="Masters 60+ 1/2/3/4", "no",$C2="Men 4", "yes",$C2="Women 4", "yes",$C2="Women 1/2", "yes",$C2="Women 3", "yes",$C2="Men 1/2", "yes",$C2="Men 3", "yes",$C2="Masters 35+ 4/5", "no",$C2="Women Masters 40+", "no",$C2="Singlespeed Men", "no",$C2="Singlespeed Women", "no"))

    =IF(B2="DNF","",INDIRECT(ADDRESS((B2+1),(IFS($C2="Junior 15-18 Boys", "13", $C2="Junior 10-14 Boys", "13",$C2="Junior 15-18 Girls", "13",$C2="Junior 10-14 Girls", "13",$C2="Men 5", "13",$C2="Women 5", "13",$C2="Masters 40+ 1/2/3/4", "15",$C2="Masters 50+ 1/2/3/4", "15",$C2="Masters 60+ 1/2/3/4", "15",$C2="Men 4", "15",$C2="Women 4", "15",$C2="Women 1/2", "15",$C2="Women 3", "15",$C2="Men 1/2", "16",$C2="Men 3", "16",$C2="Masters 35+ 4/5", "14",$C2="Women Masters 40+", "14",$C2="Singlespeed Men", "14",$C2="Singlespeed Women", "14")),4)))

    =IF(B2="DNF","",
    IF(L2="Yes",INDIRECT(ADDRESS((B2+1),(IF(L2="yes",(IFS(
    COUNTIF($C$1:$C$500,$C2)>=81,24,

    Re: Trying to Resolve #Name? Errors in Transition from Google Sheets to Excel

    Try a global Find & Replace to delete the "@" from the formulas. I'm not sure why those were inserted in the conversion. Normally that would be inserted to prevent an expression from being interpreted as an array, but that doesn't seem to apply to the IF and IFS you are using.

    What version of Excel are you using? I don't know what 16 is. It's better if you use the product name, like Microsoft 365, Excel 2013, Excel 2021 for Mac, etc. I don't know if your version even supports IFS.

    IFS was new in Excel 2019, so I think the Excel version is wrong in the OP's profile. If not, then nested IF statements or a LOOKUP can replace the IFS function.

    Re: Trying to Resolve #Name? Errors in Transition from Google Sheets to Excel

    Given that the OP gets #NAME and IFS is the newest function in the formula (since EXCEL 2019),
    this indicates that the OP uses an Excel version that is older than Excel 2019.

    So apparently 16 stands for Excel 2016.
    The function to be translated comes from Google sheets and it can IFS.

    I got the name error, too, Hans, in 365. When I removed the @ signs, it disappeared, so although I agree that the OP probably has 2016, it is not 100% certain yet.

    I got it too, and it resolved when I hit F2 followed by ENTER. The @ signs were still there but then the function was recognized.

    Re: Trying to Resolve #Name? Errors in Transition from Google Sheets to Excel

    Thanks all, that looks to have resolved things. I have 2016 version of excel, and the at symbols didn't show up, but they did when I opened in the online version from onedrive. Thanks to all for the assistance
