Error codes displayed within cells
Cell error Code Explanation of the error
### N/A The column is too narrow to display the complete
formatted contents of the cell. This is not really an
error value, so there is no corresponding numerical
error code. The solutions to this problem are to
increase the width of the column. or select Format
> Cells > Alignment and click either Wrap text
automatically or Shrink to fit cell size to make the
text match the current column width.
Err502 502 Function argument is not valid, or more than one
matching cell is found by the DGET function.
#NUM! 503 A calculation resulted in an overflow of the defined
value range.
#VALUE 519 The formula within the cell returns a value that
does not correspond to the definition of the formula
or functions used. This error could also mean that
the cell referenced by the formula contains text
instead of a number.
#REF! 524 The formula within the cell uses a reference that
does not exist. Either a column or row description
name could not be resolved, or the column, row, or
sheet that contains a referenced cell is missing.
#NAME? 525 An identifier could not be evaluated: no valid
reference, no valid domain name, no column/row
label, no macro, incorrect decimal divider, add-in
not found. For example, entering in a cell
=sum(bob*5) where there is no cell named “bob” or
containing the text “bob” generates this error.
#DIV/0! 532 Division operator / if the denominator is 0.
Some more functions return this error; see next
table for details.
