Hi ashwinraju,

A syntax error could be as simple as a misplaced comma. It could be a number of things.

A screenshot showing the formula along with a copy of the formula would give us something to work with.

Thank you for the quick reply, but I figured it out. The problem was the currency was in Euros and in it, the decimals are commas and I was putting the decimal point instead of it. For example, I was entering 12.45 instead of 12,45.

Hi ashwinraju,

So, a misplaced period. Glad you figured it out.
