I am working with the 'Any year expense calendars' template on Google Sheets. I am getting a Name error for JanSun1 in the formula =DAY(IF(DAY(JanSun1)=1,JanSun1-6,JanSun1+1)).

How do I fix this so I can start using the template for my family budget?
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.

You need to use Excel, not Google Sheets. There are a number of defined names that use formulas as the source, this is a feature that is not compatible with Google Sheets.

Even if you were able to fix that issue, there could still be other compatibility problems with a template that is built primarily for Excel.

Thank you. I was hoping to use this template because I've used it previously but that was with Excel.
