    Strange error message

    Why does excel tell me that there is an error in column K, when i have another formula in column L? If the cell in column L is empty, excel thinks everything is fine.

    The formula in column K is almost identical with the one in column I (capital i), which doesn't render any error message.

    Because the formula in column L is effectively the same as the formula in column J, so Excel thinks the formula in the middle (col K) should probably be the same. Personally I turn off that error checking option as I find it useless more often than not.
    Anyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.

    That's what I call a quick answer! Thanks a lot for the help! I couldn't stand being ignorant about the reason. ;-)
