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.
