Excel Error Values :


Explanation of Error Returned By An Excel Function :-

#DIV/0!

The formula is trying to divide by 0 (zero) (an operation that’s not
allowed on this planet). This error also occurs when the formula
attempts to divide by a cell that is empty.


#N/A

The formula is referring (directly or indirectly) to a cell that uses the
NA worksheet function to signal the fact that data is not available.
A LOOKUP function that can’t locate a value also returns #NA.


#NAME
The formula uses a name that Excel doesn’t recognize. This can happen

#NUM!

There is a problem with a function argument; for example, the SQRT

#VALUE!

operand is a value or cell reference that a formula uses to calculate
a result. This error also occurs if your formula uses a custom VBA
worksheet function that contains an error
