⚠️ The "Spill" Error
🚫 #SPILL! Error
This formula needs empty space to expand. If there is any data in the way (even a single character), Excel returns #SPILL!. Clear the path to fix it.
💡 One Formula
You only type this formula in the top-left cell. You cannot delete individual cells in the spill range; you must delete the original formula.
