Formula errors

When you use a formula, you may see an error value instead of the result you expect. The following table lists the error values that can occur in a formula.

Error valueDescription
#DIV/0!You tried to divide by zero (0).
#NAME?The formula contains unrecognized text. This can happen if you misspell a function name or if you use a name that is not defined in the RPA.
#N/AThe formula cannot find a value it needs to complete the calculation. This can happen if you use a function that requires a lookup value and that value is not found.
#NUM!The formula contains invalid numeric values, such as trying to calculate the square root of a negative number or using an argument that is not valid for the function.
#REF!The formula refers to a cell that is not valid, such as when a cell has been deleted or moved.
#VALUE!The formula contains the wrong type of argument or operand, such as trying to perform arithmetic on text values.
