Error Codes in Office Calc

The following table is an overview of the error messages for Office Calc. If the error occurs in the cell that contains the cursor, the error message is displayed on the Status Bar.

Error Code	Message	Explanation
###	none	The cell is not wide enough to display the contents.
#FMT	none	This value is outside of limits valid for this format
501	Invalid character	Character in a formula is not valid, for example, "=1Eq" instead of "=1E2".
502	Invalid argument	Function argument is not valid. For example, a negative number for the SQRT() function, for this please use IMSQRT().
503#NUM!	Invalid floating point operation	A calculation results in an overflow of the defined value range.
504	Parameter list error	Function parameter is not valid, for example, text instead of a number, or a domain reference instead of cell reference.
507, 508	Error: Pair missing	Missing bracket, for example, closing brackets, but no opening brackets
509	Missing operator	Operator is missing, for example, "=2(3+4) * ", where the operator between "2" and "(" is missing.
510	Missing variable	Variable is missing, for example when two operators are together "=1+*2".
511	Missing variable	Function requires more variables than are provided, for example, AND() and OR().
512	Formula overflow	Compiler: the total number of internal tokens, (that is, operators, variables, brackets) in the formula exceeds 8192.
513	String overflow	Compiler: an identifier in the formula exceeds 64 KB in size. Interpreter: a result of a string operation exceeds 64 KB in size.
514	Internal overflow	Sort operation attempted on too much numeric data (max. 100000) or a calculation stack overflow.
515	Internal syntax error	Unknown error.
516	Internal syntax error	Matrix is expected on the calculation stack, but is not available.
517	Internal syntax error	Unknown code, for example, a document with a newer function is loaded in an older version that does not contain the function.
518	Internal syntax error	Variable is not available
519#VALUE!	No value (instead of Err:519 cell displays #VALUE!)	The formula yields a value that does not corresponds to the definition, or a cell that is referenced in the formula contains a text string instead of a number.
520	Internal syntax error	Compiler creates an unknown compiler code.
521#NULL!	Internal syntax error (instead of Err:521 cell displays #NULL!)	No code or no result.
522	Circular reference	Formula refers directly or indirectly to itself and the Iterations option is not set under Tools - Options - Office Calc - Calculate.
523	The calculation procedure does not converge	Function missed a targeted value, or iterative references do not reach the minimum change within the maximum number of steps set.
524#REF!	Not a valid reference (instead of Err:524 cell displays #REF!)	Compiler: a column or row description name could not be resolved. Interpreter: in a formula, the column, row, or sheet that contains a referenced cell is missing.
525#NAME?	invalid names (instead of Err:525 cell displays #NAME?)	An identifier could not be evaluated, for example, no valid reference, no valid domain name, no column/row label, no macro, incorrect decimal divider, add-in not found.
526	Internal syntax error	Obsolete, no longer used, but could come from old documents if the result is a formula from a domain.
527	Internal overflow	Interpreter: References, such as when a cell references a cell, are too encapsulated.
530	No AddIn	Interpreter: AddIn not found.
531	No Macro	Interpreter: Macro not found.
532#DIV/0!	Division by zero	Division operator / if the denominator is 0Some more functions return this error, for example:VARP with less than 1 argumentSTDEVP with less than 1 argumentVAR with less than 2 argumentsSTDEV with less than 2 argumentsSTANDARDISE with StandardDeviation=0NORMDIST with StandardDeviation=0
533	Nested arrays are not supported	For example, ={1;{2}}
538	Error: Array or matrix size	-
539	Unsupported inline array content	For example, ={1+2}
540	External content disabled	Happens if a function that requires (re)loading of external sources is encountered and the user hasn't confirmed reloading of external sources yet
