MS Excel Error Messages

• #DIV/0 Error
The #DIV/0! error message appears when the formula you're using attempts to divide
by zero. It can also appear when using the value of an empty cell to divide. Because
Excel can't define a formula that is dividing by zero, it prints this error message.
You can fix this error message by adjusting your formula so that it is no longer dividing
by zero. Alternatively, you may need to enter a value into the cell referenced by the
formula. An alternative solution for this error is to use the IFERROR function. This
function prints a custom message when encountering an error.

• #### error
The #### error is one of the most common errors that appear when using Excel, and
it's easy to fix. Excel prints this error message when the width of a column is not wide
enough to display all the characters within that cell. This error can also occur when a
negative time and date are displayed.
To fix the first instance of this issue, you can simply expand the width of the column
to accommodate all the characters within a cell. You can do this by dragging the
header of the column until the error disappears. To fix the error when a negative date
and time are displayed, you can adjust the date and time in the cell.
• #N/A error
Excel presents the #N/A error message when it can't find a value your formula is
referencing. This occurs when data within a cell is missing or misspelled. The cause
of this error is usually extra characters, spaces or incomplete data tables. To fix this
error, simply double-check the spelling of any values referenced by the formula or
present within a data table.

• #NAME? error
Excel returns this error when it can't read parts of your formula. This can occur if you
misspell certain elements of your formula or if certain elements are missing. It can also
happen when the formula is correct, but the cells you're referencing in the formula are
incorrect.
The best approach when fixing this problem is to go over your formula methodically,
ensuring the correct spelling of all elements. Alternatively, you can highlight the cells
you wish to run a formula with and then select "Formulas" from the tab in the top bar.
Select "Insert Function" for Excel to direct you through each step of the formula to
ensure correct data entry.

• #NULL! error
The #NULL! error typically appears when there is an erroneous space within your
formula. Placing a space where a comma or colon should be is usually what causes
the issue. In Excel, a space represents the "range intersect" operator, while a comma
combines two references and a colon references a range of cells.
To fix this problem, check that there are no accidental spaces in your formula. If you're
trying to use space to call upon two intersecting cells, make sure the cells you're
referencing are correct and intersect.

• #REF! error
The #REF! error occurs when your formula is attempting to reference a cell that has
been deleted. An easy fix for this error is to perform an "undo" command. This action
should undo the deletion of the cell and allow your formula to reference it successfully
again.

• #VALUE! error
Excel presents this error when it expects your formula to be referencing a number, but
it's actually referencing characters, text or spaces. To fix this problem, simply check
your formula to make sure you're referencing the correct cell. If your formula is correct,
then there are likely erroneous characters within the cell itself.
• #SPILL! error
When running a function that populates a table or column, Excel might print the
#SPILL! error. This error means that Excel can't perform the function without
overriding data that is already within a cell.

For example, if your formula fills out a table covering D1-5, and you have "Math"
written in cell D2, Excel does not perform the formula and instead prints #SPILL!. To
fix this error message, alter your formula to print in unpopulated cells, or remove the
characters in the cell causing problems.

• #CALC! error
This error occurs when your formula encounters issues while performing calculations
with an array. This error appears because your formula is attempting to filter from a
group that doesn't exist. To fix this issue, proofread your formula to ensure that you
have correctly entered the name of the data group which you're trying to filter.
• #NUM! error

The #NUM! error occurs when your formula contains invalid numeric values. For
example, if you're calculating a problem with money, don't include the dollar sign
before the number, as it presents as an invalid value. It can also occur when
attempting to perform an impossible calculation. You can fix this error by adjusting the
numbers in your formula to remove any unnecessary values.
