Python: Try block challenge

Hi there, I'm having some issues with this Try block challenge I've looked at some forum posts but their code is a bit different from mine, it seems accurate but I guess not. Any help would be appreciated.

trial.py 
def add(num1, num2):
try:
except ValueError:
    return None
else:
    na = float(num1)
    ne = float(num2)
    return(na + ne)

I've figured it out by looking at someone elses topic..Indents.... along with changing the structure of my code a bit.

def add(num1, num2):
    try:
        na = float(num1) + float(num2)
    except ValueError:
        return None
    else:
        return(na)
