You've misspelled ValueError. Fixing this will make your code pass. You should also fix the indentation of your return statement, although you can pass the challenge without doing so:

def add(x,y):
    try:
        x=float(x)
        y=float(y)
    except ValueError:
        return None
    else:
        return(x+y)
