Error values
The evaluation of an expression can result in an error having one of a number of error values. These error values are:
Error Value |
Reason for Occurrence |
---|---|
#DIV/0! |
Intended to indicate when any number, including zero, is divided by zero. |
#N/A |
Intended to indicate when a designated value is not available. For example, Some functions, such as This error value can be produced by calling the function |
#NAME? |
Intended to indicate when what looks like a name is used, but no such name has been defined. For example, |
#NULL! |
Intended to indicate when two areas are required to intersect, but do not. For example, In the case of |
#NUM! |
Intended to indicate when an argument to a function has a compatible type, but has a value that is outside the domain over which that function is defined. (This is known as a domain error.) For example, Certain calls to Intended to indicate that the result of a function cannot be represented in a value of the specified type, typically due to extreme magnitude. (This is known as a range error.) For example, |
#REF! |
Intended to indicate when a cell reference is invalid. For example, If a formula contains a reference to a cell, and then the row or column containing that cell is deleted, a |
#VALUE! |
Intended to indicate when an incompatible type argument is passed to a function, or an incompatible type operand is used with an operator. For example, In the case of a function argument, a number was expected, but text was provided. In the case of |
