Excel Error Messages
1. #VALUE!
Excel displays the #VALUE! error when it finds spaces, characters, or text in a formula
where it is expecting a number.
2. #NAME?
The #NAME? error message appears if Excel can't understand the name of the formula
you're trying to run, or if Excel can't compute one or more values entered in the formula
itself.
3. #DIV/0!
When you see #DIV/0!, you are asking Excel to divide a formula by zero or an empty
cell.
4. #REF!
Excel usually displays #REF! when a formula includes an invalid cell reference e.g.
reference to a cell that has subsquently been deleted.
5. #NULL!
The cell references within the formula are not seperated correctly.
6. ######
It's usually caused by a column not being wide enough to displat its contents.
5. #NULL!
A space was used in formulas that reference multiple ranges; a
comma separates range references
6. #N/A
This typically means that the numbers you are referring to in your formula cannot
be found.
7. #NUM!
If your formula contains numeric values that aren't valid, you'll see an #NUM! error
appear in Excel.
8. #####
This is not an error pe se - this simply means the column isn't wide enough to
display the cell content
