Google Sheets is saying there is a parse error.
=ROUNDUP(B9/B3)&ʺ:ʺ&ROUNDUP(B3/B9)
What's wrong with it?
I think it may just be the wrong type of double inverted commas. Try copy/pasting the following:
=ROUNDUP(B9/B3)&":"&ROUNDUP(B3/B9)
For comparison:
=ROUNDUP(B9/B3)&ʺ:ʺ&ROUNDUP(B3/B9)
Seconded, the commas are the issue here!
I re-typed your exact formula and the cell generated the correct solution:
=roundup(B9/B3)&":"&roundup(B3/B9)

I am trying to have a sheet check scores compared to a grading scale. This is what I have as an argument but I cannot get it to work. Am I missing parenthesis? Some other formatting issue?
=IF(E3<67.9,6.5,IF(E3<71.9),7,IF(E3<76.9),7.5,if(E3<81.9),8, if(E3<85.9),8.5,if(E3<89.9),9,IF(E3<94.9),9.5,10)
I have tried many versions of this same formula but cannot get it to work as of yet.
try:
=IF(E3<67.9,6.5,IF(E3<71.9,7,IF(E3<76.9,7.5,if(E3<81.9,8, if(E3<85.9,8.5,if(E3<89.9,9,IF(E3<94.9,9.5,10)))))))
use:
=VLOOKUP(E3, {0,6.5; 68,7; 72,7.5; 77,8; 82,8.5; 86,9; 90,9.5; 95,10}, 2)
Trying to find a particular string in a google sheet column (column A) and return the value of the cell directly to the right (column B). If tried the following, but keep getting a Formula parse error. Please advise:
=VLOOKUP(“Assessment Guide - AWG”, A16:B120,2,FALSE)
That formula looks right to me, but if you could take a screenshot of how you wrote the formula that would be helpful. Usually formula parsing issues happen when you use a semicolon instead of a comma or have an extra parenthesis or a quote in the wrong place.
I wrote this formula in the spreadsheet: =if(match(AR$2,$A5:$E5,0),AR$2,"")
If there is no match, it's supposed to leave the cell blank, instead it gives #N/A. but if there is a match, it gives the value. Can anybody show me how to correct this? thanks.
You could use iferror
try something like:
=iferror(if(match(AR$2,$A5:$E5,0),AR$2),"")
I keep getting an error while using the IMPORTRANGE formula:
=importrange(“1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqcLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0wzRaNHceTc”, “Sheet1!A:B”)
I changed the name of my sheets several times to make sure everything matches but see a:
Formula parse error
and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. The original sheet has several tabs as well.
Can you see where the error is?
This worked for me:
=importrange(“1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqcLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0wzRaNHceTc”; “Sheet1!A:B”)
Maybe try it with a semicolon
Add the link format
eg
=importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqcLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0wzRaNHceTc","Sheet1!A:B") this should fix it
One other issue that can prevent import range from working is leading or trailing space in your sheet name. Make you check the sheet tab and clean out any leading or trailing spaces or your formula won't work. :-)
I burned an hour reading this thread and recreating my formula over and over again before I finally found the issue.
You have it as Sheet1!A:B, but you are missing the single quotes to identify the sheet name.
It should be 'Sheet1'!A:B instead.
The full formula is below:
=importrange(“1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqcLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0wzRaNHceTc”, “'Sheet1'!A:B”)
Make sure the sheet you're trying to import from is saved as a google sheet. I was trying to import an .xls file into a google sheet, and it wouldn't work. I re-saved the sheet as a google sheet and it fixed the problem immediately.
Problem
This formula does not work
=importrange(“1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0aNHceTc”,“Sheet1!A:B”)
Reason why
You use curly double quotes “ ” instead of straight double quotes " "
SOLUTION
Change the quotes from curly to straight
=importrange("1uUbz2HAzgwBwY3zMXqLJM_Z8qVQZHNP0aNHceTc","Sheet1!A:B")
Be careful
If you have different locale you must also change , to ;
I'm having some trouble using the SPARKLINE function on Google Spreasheets. If I use the "default" formula, like =SPARKLINE(C9:N9), it works nicelly. But, everytime I try to add some extra options, like using columns instead of lines, for example =SPARKLINE(C11:N11;{"charttype", "bar"}), I get a "Error, Formula parse error." message.
Has anyone here had the same problem? Any idea of how can I fix it?
Thanks!

When you address the option like an object, then you should use a backslash: =SPARKLINE(C11:N11;{"charttype"\"bar"}
