- Make sure you are using the correct syntax for the function. You can find the correct syntax for each function [here](https://docs.openbb.co/excel/reference)
|
||
- If you have just opened your workbook and the OBB. function returns '#VALUE!', try recalculating the cell again - this is an ongoing issue with Excel add-ins

This is a known Excel issue. Currently, there is no definitive fix for the problem, but there are workarounds you can apply to fix the file depending on your operating system:
|
||
|
||
- **Windows**: File > Info > Inspect Workbook > Check ‘Task Pane Add-ins’ > Click ‘OK’. This will scan your workbook and remove the stale add-in reference created by Excel in the browser
|
||
- **Mac**: rename your file from .xlsx to .zip > unzip it using WinZip for Mac (don’t use the default unzip tool, otherwise it won’t work) > look for webextensions folder and delete webextension1.xml > rename the file back to .xlsx
