The error values and their causes are:
If
T
does not describe a number (incl udes letters or 2 decimal points, for
example), a #
VALUE!
error appears.
When a Multiplan function, operation, or reference is used incorrectly, an
error value appears in the cell(s). All error values are preceded with a .
Error values "propagate," meaning that an error in one cell causes errors in
all cells that refer to it. Therefore, if several error values appear, you must
trace the problem back to the source of the error.
VALUE(D
Returns
T,
represented as text.
T
must be the text form of a number,
similar to those produced by the formats used in the Format
Cell
command. It can contain a leading dollar sign, a leading minus sign, or
scientific notation.

calculated that was too small or large).
A relative reference reached outside the
spreadsheet, or a reference was made to a deleted
area.
Text was used where a number is needed, a number
