| <h3>What do each of the error codes (Err:NNN) in |
| OpenOffice.org spreadsheets mean?</h3> |

| <tr> |
| <th> Error Code </th> |
| <th> Cleartext </th> |
| <th> Explanation </th> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 501 </td> |
| <td> Invalid character </td> |
| <td> The error is a character that is invalid in this context, |
| e.g. |
| =1Eq instead of =1E2. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 502 </td> |
| <td> Invalid argument </td> |
| <td> A function argument has an invalid value, e.g. a negative |
| number for the root function. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 503 </td> |
| <td> Invalid floating point operation </td> |
| <td> Division by 0 or other calculation that would result in an |
| overflow of the defined value range.</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 504 </td> |
| <td> Parmeter list error </td> |
| <td> A function parameter is an invalid type, e.g. text instead |
| of number, or domain reference instead of cell reference. </td> |

| <td> 505 </td> |
| <td> Internal syntax error </td> |

| <td> <br/> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 508 </td> |
| <td> Error: Pair missing </td> |
| <td> For example, closing parenthesis without opening parenthesis |
| or missing closing parenthesis in the middle of the formula (missing |
| closing parenthesis at the end of a formula is added automatically). </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 509 </td> |
| <td>Missing operator </td> |
| <td> E.g. =2(3+4) * operator missing between the 2 and the (. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 510 </td> |
| <td> Missing variable </td> |
| <td> Two operators in a row, e.g. =1+*2. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 511 </td> |
| <td> Missing variable </td> |
| <td> The function requires more variables than are provided, e.g. |
| AND() and OR() without parameter. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 512 </td> |
| <td>Formula overflow </td> |
| <td> Compiler: as the name indicates, the internal number of |
| tokens |
| that has nothing to do with the formula string length is indicated |
| (max. 512) rather than the number of operators, variables, parentheses, |
| etc. Interpreter: Formulas that create several matrices at once (max. |
| 150), including basic functions that would receive too large an array |
| as a parameter (max. 0xFFFE, i.e. 65534 bytes). </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 513 </td> |
| <td> String overflow </td> |
| <td> Compiler: an identifier in the formula exceeds 255 |
| characters. |
| Interpreter: a result of a string operation exceeds 255 characters. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 514 </td> |
| <td> Internal overflow </td> |
| <td> Sort operations with too much numerical data (max. 100000) |
| or calculation stack overflow. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 515 </td> |
| <td>Internal syntax error </td> |
| <td> <br/> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 516 </td> |
| <td> Internal syntax error </td> |
| <td> A matrix is expected on the calculation stack but is not |
| available. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 517 </td> |
| <td> Internal syntax error </td> |
| <td> Unknown OpCode, e.g. a document with a newer function is |
| loaded in an older version that does not contain the function. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>518 </td> |
| <td> Internal syntax error </td> |
| <td> A variable was supposed to be popped from the calculation |
| stack but is not available. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 519 </td> |
| <td> No result (#VALUE is in the cell rather than Err:519!) </td> |
| <td> A function could not deliver a value that corresponds to the |
| definition or a cell referenced in the formula contains text rather |
| than a number. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 520 </td> |
| <td> Internal syntax error </td> |
| <td> The compiler created an unknown compiler code. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>521 </td> |
| <td> Internal syntax error </td> |
| <td> No result on the calculation stack. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td> 522 </td> |
| <td> Circular reference </td> |
| <td> A formula refers directly or indirectly to itself and the |
| iterations are not activated under Tools/Options/Table |
| Document/Calculate. </td> |

| <tr> |
| <td> 523 </td> |
| <td> The calculation procedure does not converge </td> |
| <td> Some financial statistics functions miss a targeted value or |
| iterations of circular references do not reach the minimum change |
| within the maximum steps set. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>524 </td> |
| <td> Invalid reference (#REF is in the cell rather than Err:524) </td> |
| <td> Compiler: a column/row description name could not be |
| resolved. |
| Interpreter: in the formula, a cell is referenced whose column, row or |
| table was deleted. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>525 </td> |
| <td> Invalid name (#NAME is in the cell rather than Err:525) </td> |
| <td> Compiler; An identifier could not be resolved (no reference, |
| no domain name, no column/row description, no macro, etc.) Interpreter: |
| same as runtime, e.g. basic function or AddIn, not found </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>526 </td> |
| <td>Internal syntax error </td> |
| <td> Obsolete, no longer used, but could come from old documents |
| if the result was a formula from a domain. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td>527 </td> |
| <td>Internal overflow </td> |
| <td> Interpreter: references too encapsulated (cell references |
| cell, the cell references, the cell references,...) </td> |

| <p><b>Note:</b> a '###' in a cell is not an error, but an indication |
