Hello,

I am using the below formula in a table.

=IF(COUNTIFS(GIS_Points!F3:F742,[Display],GIS_Points!E3:E742,[Location Code])>1,"True","False")

I have successfully used this formula in this way in tables in the past. Today excel is generating a #Spill! error.
A quick google revels that there is a new spill formula that outputs to an undefined amount of rows below the formula. This new spill formula apparently is not compatible with tables.
This is all well and good but I am not using a spill formula an countifs only returns on result.

Does anyone know what is happening?

Thanks

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Ok, I solved this one.
I did not put an @ in from of the cell I was referencing. It should have been
=IF(COUNTIFS(GIS_Points!F3:F742,[@Display],GIS_Points!E3:E742,[@Location Code])>1,"True","False")

Hi Raven! Just curious - why is that @ symbol required?? I'm having some new #Spill! errors myself and figured somethings changed.
