I am trying to get a spreadsheet working for a game I play which is useful information. The spreadsheet is hosted here and I saved a copy to my own Google Sheets. I wanted to make some changes and add some things but I'm running into issues. There appears to be differences with Google Sheets and Excel and I am not familiar with using Google Sheets at all. When I downloaded the file as an excel document, it came up with errors and a lot cells were displaying errors. I investigated the cells formulas, correcting issues as I went but gave up as I couldn't get to the root of the problem. I suspected it might be something to do with named ranges but honestly I don't know.
My second attempt, I painstakingly recreated the document from scratch, copying formulas in cells as I went and not using the named ranges. This again came up with errors and I managed to correct most as it seems that the following works in Google Sheets but not in Excel:
I replaced that with this:
I fixed any issues I could, but I hit a deadend when looking at the "Rotation" tab column C. When I evaluate the formula, the cells contain legitimate data for every part of the formula but it displays #VALUE ! unless I select the formula bar and press enter, which returns 0 (not the correct answer when using evaluate formula).
I thought there was a way to attach a file so I could show where I'm up to with this, but I can't seem to find the button. Alternatively, is there someone where I can upload this and provide a link to?

Code:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(COUNTIF(IF(Gear!$A$2:$A$124>0,Gear!M2:M125, 0),"T3")
I replaced that with this:
Code:
=COUNTIFS(Gear!A:A,1,Gear!M:M,"T3")
