When I export data to GSTR-, the #Value! error appears in the Total row. How do I resolve this issue?
This error may appear when English (United States) is used as the keyboard language. Since the English (United States) keyboard does not have rupee symbol, the Total of values exported to GSTR-3B template may appear with the error #Value!.
To resolve this issue:
- Change the keyboard language to English (India).
Go to Control Panel > Language > Language options, and add English (India) as the Input method. - Export the data to a fresh template of GSTR-3B.
