There are 10 different formula errors you are likely to run into at some point as you work with Excel formulas. This section shows examples of each formula error, with information and links on how to correct the error.
As the name suggests, the #DIV/0! error appears when a formula tries to divide by zero, or by a value equivalent to zero. You may see a #DIV/0! error when data is not yet complete. For example, a cell in the worksheet is blank because data has not been entered, or is not yet available. You also may see the divide by zero error with the AVERAGEIF an...
The #NAME? error indicates that Excel does not recognize something. This could be a function name misspelled, a named range that doesn't exist, or a cell reference entered incorrectly. For example, in the screen below, the VLOOKUP functionin F3 is misspelled "VLOKUP". VLOKUP is not a valid name, so the formula returns #NAME?. To fix a #NAME? error,...
The #N/A error appears when something can't be found. It tells you something is missing or misspelled. This could be a product code not yet available, an employee name misspelled, a color that doesn't exist, etc. Often, #N/A errors are caused by extra space characters, misspellings, or an incomplete lookup table. The functions most commonly affecte...
The #NUM! error occurs when a number is too large or small, or when a calculation is impossible. For example, if you try to calculate the square root of a negative number, you'll see a #NUM error: In the screen above the SQRT function is used to calculate the square root numbers in column B. The formula in C5 returns the #NUM! error because the val...
The #VALUE! error appears when a value is not an expected or valid type (i.e. date, time, number, text, etc.) This can happen when a cell is left blank, when a text value is given to a function that expects a numeric value, or when dates are evaluated as text by Excel. For example, in the screen below, cell C3 contains the text "NA", and the formul...
The #REF! error is one of the most common errors you'll see in Excel formulas. It occurs when a reference becomes invalid. In many cases, this is because sheets, rows, or columns have been removed, or because a formula with relative references has been copied to a new location where references are invalid. For example, in the screen below, the form...
The #NULL! error is quite rare in Excel, and is usually the result of a typo where a space character is used instead of a comma (,) or colon (:) between two cell references. For example, in the screen below the formula in F3 returns the #NULL error: Technically, this is because the space character is the "range intersect" operatorand the #NULL! err...
Although technically not an error, you may also see a formula that displays a string of hash characters (###) instead of a normal result. For example, in the screen below, the formula in C3 is adding 5 days to the date in column B: In this case, the hash or pound characters (###) appear because the dates in column C are formatted with a long format...
