Excel shows #SPILL!: inspect the output area

A formula returning several values needs room for its output. Check the reason Excel gives for the blocked spill before deleting neighbouring cells.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

A formula returning several values needs room for its output. Check the reason Excel gives for the blocked spill before deleting neighbouring cells.

Understand the issue

Keep a copy of nearby data. A cell that looks empty may contain a formula, so inspect rather than clearing a large range indiscriminately.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Select the error cell and read its explanation.
  2. Identify the intended output range.
  3. Move conflicting content only after checking what it contains.
