Common problems and fixes

The formula returns #REF!.

The generated ranges do not match your actual sheet. Re-enter the real column letters or table name in the range field and regenerate.

Excel rejects the formula with a syntax error.

Your locale uses semicolons as argument separators. Switch the separator setting and copy the formula again.
