maxRowsInteger

Troubleshooting & FAQ

If Excel doesn't recognize the =FDN() formula, the add-in may not have loaded correctly. Restart Excel or reinstall the add-in from the Office Add-ins Store.

Excel displays this error when it does not recognize the =FDN() formula. This means the add-in is either not installed or has been disabled.

The =FDN() formula outputs multiple rows and columns of data, which Excel blocks if any existing text or formatting occupies the surrounding cells. Simply clear these obstructing cells to allow the formula to expand completely.
