Q1. What do you mean by "##### error". In which situation it occurs, how can we remove it?
Explain with example in excel.
Ans. The hashtag error does not actually represent a formulation error. When this is indicated,
the meaning is that Excel could successfully calculate the formula but could not display the
calculated value in the cell.

It is caused by the length of data entered into a formatted cell.

To solve this problem, you usually need to increase the width of the column to make the
calculated value appear in the column or change the cell format to the appropriate option. For
example, if the cell format is of a type, it may be necessary to change it to the number.

Example:
Q2. What do you mean by "#NAME? error". In which situation it occurs, how can we remove
it? Explain with example in excel.
Ans. The #NAME? error message appears if Excel can't understand the name of the formula
you're trying to run, or if Excel can't compute one or more values entered in the formula itself.
This error occurs when you write the wrong name in the formulas, use the text values used in the
formula in the "Do not leave" column or leave the empty parentheses associated with the
function.
To resolve this error, check the formula's spelling, or use the Formula Builder to have Excel
build the function for you. For Example:
Q3. What do you mean by "#VALUE! error". In which situation it occurs, how can we
remove it? Explain with example in excel.
Ans. Value error means that you used an incorrect type of data as a formula input.
The #VALUE! error appears when a value is not the expected type. This can occur when cells
are left blank, when a function that is expecting a number is given a text value, and when dates
are evaluated as text by Excel. Fixing a #VALUE! error is usually just a matter of entering the
right kind of value.
For example, you might have entered a range in a function that takes a parameter of the type of a
cell, or in the form where you have to refer to the number of text, instead of the number. For
example, in the formula A1 / A2, the value in the cell A2 is a text.

Q4. What do you mean by "#DIV/0! error". In which situation it occurs, how can we remove
it? Explain with example in excel.
Ans. This error indicates that you have divided some formulas from zero. The amount of one of
the cells you used in your formula may be zero or missing. Excel does not count the cells in the
calculation of zero, and if you divide some numbers into them, this error will be displayed.

This can be caused when:

 The divisor or denominator in a division operation is equal to zero either explicitly, such
as =K3/M3 where M3 is 0, or as the result of a second calculation that has zero for a
result.
 A formula references a cell that is blank.

Q5. What do you mean by "#REF! error". In which situation it occurs, how can we remove
it? Explain with example in excel.
Ans. This error means that you are referring to the cell in the formulas that are not there. This
error usually occurs when you delete cells.

This happens most often when:

 Individual cells or entire columns or rows containing data referenced in a formula are
accidentally deleted.
 Data from one cell is moved (using cut and paste or drag and drop) into a cell that is
referenced by a formula.
 A formula contains a link (using OLE, Object Linking and Embedding) to a program that
is not currently running.

for example, copy the formula that is written in relative terms and refers to cell A3, copy the A4
cell of that cell into another A2 cell.
Q6. What do you mean by "#N/A" error? In which situation it occurs, how can we remove it?
Explain with example in excel.
Ans. This error is usually shown when the value you want is not found. For example, you do not
have the required value in a LOOKUP function in any of the range cells that you defined for the
function. #N/A means "not available" or "no value available". You can nest the NA function
inside a formula to display the #N/A error when information is missing.

Q7. What do you mean by "#NULL!" error. In which situation it occurs, how can we remove
it? Explain with example in excel.
Ans. This error indicates that you used the distance from the formula where you should use the
math symptoms. For example, instead of the formula = A1 + A2 + A3, you mistakenly entered
the value = A1 + A2 A3. One of the other reasons why this formula is displayed is that you have
somewhere in the formula to specify a range between the two cells of the sign.
Q8. When a formula yields an error value in a cell, Excel displays a green triangular error
indicator in the upper-left corner of the cell. What are the options available in drop-down
menu.

Ans. The Trace Error button appears next to the cell in which a formula error occurs, and a
green triangle appears in the upper-left corner of the cell.

When you click the arrow next to the button, a list of options for error checking appears.

Q9. Which error will occur when a formula has the wrong type of argument?

Ans. The #NAME? error occurs when Excel does not recognize text in a formula.
Q10. Which error will occur when a formula refers to a cell that is not valid?
Ans. Excel displays the #REF! error when a formula refers to a cell that is not valid.
