ERROR - "The formula contains a number outside of the valid range"

Hello,
I am using an equation that is returning the error "the formula contains a number outside of the valid range" when the constituent cells of the equation contain a negative number. I have tried using the inspector to format the problem cell(s) differently, but to no avail. The equation works fine in other respects. How is numbers deciding what the valid range for variables in my foruma is?
I've done the math out separately to make sure the equation isn't dividing by 0 or something wacky, but there's nothing wrong with the formula or the result... It should be doing math and it's not!
I haven't found any posts by other users with the same problem.
Thanks.

jd,
It would help us if you paste the formula in your post here, exactly as it appears in the cell. Also tell us the values of the inputs to that formula.
Changing a cell's format seldom has any effect on the calculation. Formatting changes how a result is displayed, but not what the result of the formula is behind the screen.

  • The formula contains a syntax error

    Hi i keep getting the following message errors The formula contains a syntax error. I have working with lookup formula so when i change hours is changes the price. Just need to get a total for hours x number of people x price cant seem to get there.
    Thanks Danny

    It's hard to say from your screenshot, but it appears you are either attempting to make a cell reference itself, or the reference is empty.
    There is no need for the parentheses since algebraic hierarchy will result in the same answer.
    Capture the row and column data, post a more descriptive screenshot, or describe the required calculation in greater detail.

  • Error Message: "The formula syntax is not supported by the report"

    We are using 'Development Environment: SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 u2013 Standard ' and using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine and CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer APIu2019s
    I am reading SQLExpressionFields from one source .rpt file & want to add it to another ReportDocument. While doing so, it gives an error " The formula syntax is not supported by the report"
    doc.ReportClientDocumentDataDefController.FormulaFieldController.Add(formualField); // formualField is SQLExpressionField from source ReportDocument
    But when I tried to Add FormulaField, it succeeds
    Please help me in knowing how to add SQlExpressionFields to ReportDocument.
    Regards,
    -atul

    Thanx Don & Ludek for the reply.
    CR provides support for addition/modification of SQLExpressions.
    CRAXDRT.Application application = new CRAXDRT.ApplicationClass();
    CRAXDRT.Report innerReport = application.OpenReport(path, CROpenReportMethod.crOpenReportByTempCopy);
    innerReport .SQLExpressionFields.Add(name, strSQLExpression)
    CRAXDRT.dll provides support for addition/modification of SQLExpression fields. But its not compatible with 64bit.
    Just curious to know, is there any future plan to provide support for add/modify SQLExpression fields?
    Thanx

  • HT4972 i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

    i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

    Hi Kevin,
    The iPhone 4S comes automatically loaded with iOS 5, and any updates after iOS 5.0 can be completed directly from on the phone in Settings > General > Software Update. If you are having trouble using iTunes to update software, I suggest you reset iTunes so that you can pair your phone to the computer again, because if you can't see the serial number and capacity, that generally means your phone isn't paired.  For any problems this doesn't fix, please contact Apple directly through their automated help line, 1(800)MYAPPLE.

    Hi All,
     I am new in EDI processing in BizTalk. Below is my configuration for EDI.
                 I have a text file of EDI 834 data. I need to generate the xml msg of the edi txt file.
                 Added a EDI 834 schema(only one schema).
                 Created two party with validation namespace.
                 Added a peceive pipeline with dis assembler component as EDI Disassembler(I did  not set any property here)
                 Deployed and created a receive location as .txt file and seted filter as bts.ReceiveProtName to send port.
    Getting the below error:

    I resolved it by work around.
    1. On BizTalk part, I have created an Aggrement for Sender and Receiver.
    2. The ISA6(Sender Id) and ISA8(Receiver Id) field need to be 15 characters (recomended including space).
    Thanks UK

    The wifi just stopped working outside of the house. Now it's basically a calculator that I carry around with me.

    That's nice.  Hopefully you'll have some mathematical problems for which to use your calculator.
    Meantime, did you have a support issue?

  • How to find the Internal Document Structure Number STLNR from the DIR Key

    Hello:
    Our requirement: When a user moves the Header DIR of a Document BOM to Released Status, we need to check if all the BOM Items in this Document BOM have also been released (in Status Released). If not, we need to give the user an error message informing them which component DIRs need to be released before the system will allow them to release the Header DIR. We can do this by entering the DIR Key of the Header DIR and find out the Internal Document Structure Number (Document BOM Number = STLNR for BOM Category Document Structure STLTY = D) from the available input of the DIR Key DOKARDOKNRDOKTL+DOKVR. Then we need to use the value of STLNR in Table STPO to find the Document BOM Items and check the status of each BOM Item DIR.
    If Table STKO had DIR Key as an input we would have our solution, but alas it does not. Can anyone point us in the right direction by suggesting how to get to STLNR from the DIR Key? Your help would be much appreciated!
    Niraj Pant

    Hi Niraj,
    the STLNR should be contained in structure rc29k. You can also use the DMS BAPI DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2 with parameter GetStructure or DOCUMENT_GETSTRUCTURE. With these BAPIs you should be able to determine the document structure to an existing document info record. For further information on the mentioned BAPIs please see SAP note <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/766277">766277</a>  which contains a complete documentation on all existing DMS BAPIs.
    Best regards,
    Christoph

  • Anyone - that "About this MAC" only gives the OS X Version Number and not the Name?

    Is anyone else - that "About this MAC" only gives the OS X Version Number and doesn't also give out the Name?
    *** version is Mountain Lion? Snow Leopard? Yosemite?? And how hard would it be to use the name AND version number when they refer to a product?
    So What Do I have with 10.8.5 ?
    PS [as I use this site for the first, I am glad to see for the first time ANYWHERE that the drop down box lists the OS X by name and number. APPLE, PLEASE DO THAT EVERYWHERE!

    A google search would have yielded the answer
    10.8 is Mountain Lion.

  • On a large monitor, the bookmarks toolbar is opening outside of the Firefox window itself - is there any way to force it to stay inside?

    Recently I installed Windows 7 on my computer, along with a device called a Triplehead2Go, which spoofs the operating system into thinking that the computer has one monitor attached (when it really has three). When the Firefox window is relatively small on the desktop and with excess space to the right, the bookmarks toolbar opens to the right (and extends outside of the window). This creates a problem for me, as the monitor bezels get in the way of navigation. When the Firefox window is all the way to the right of the desktop, the bookmarks toolbar opens inside of the window (as there is not enough space to the right for it).
    Is there any way to force this menu to stay within its boundaries?

    The screen dimensions are "right," but I don't want it to use up any more space on-screen than is in the window.

  • Is there anyway to correct the call back telephone number mentioned in the scheduled call from Apple?

    I just had a call from Apple tech team regarding my iPhone not getting activated after inserting nano sim and they decided that my new unlocked iPhone5 needs replacement. I am already disappointed by Apple bcos of the delay in getting my new iPhone5 started and now declaring that the set I received is a faulty one and need replacement.
    Again for replacement they have schedule another call from sales team and doing so they have mentioned the number which is not right. I told him to call me back on the same number but an email which i received post that call has a wrong phone number in it. It could not have gone worse.
    Do anyone know how to change the call-back number to a scheduled call from apple?
    Thanks,

    The devices that are listed are: 2 under the name of the device that synced incorrectly with mine and then 3 others that are not associated with my itouch. The name of the ipod, before the incorrect sycning is no longer under devices.  It has been replaced with the incorrect one because I can see the serial # of my ipod under the wrong name.
    The playlists that are in my itunes library are from an ipod that I used a few times before I took this one over... Which happens to be the ipod that took on the ID of my itouch.
    Both of these ipods used to be my kids.. I used my sons a few times and then switched to my daughters.  They each had their names attachted to their particular devices and now it just says my sons, which is the ipod that itunes was connecting to when all this happened. The really strange thing is my son doesnt use his ipod any longer and now uses his phone for music...So, it had been a while since that particular device was even synced to itunes!
    I hope this helps!

  • After a personas update, FF is unresponsive bc of plugincontainer error, so i have to have 2 FF open to have a browswer that works. How do i fix the plugin container so it launches right the 1st time?

    Started happening after the latest personas update. Whenever i 1st launch FF it just becomes completely unresponsive, i can't even close it w/out having to use task manager. However if i keep the 1st FF open and launch it again, the 2nd FF works just fine- no problems what so ever! BUT i can not close the 1st FF (using task manager) w/out it automatically closing the 2nd. Which means i have to have two browsers open to have just one working one.When i tried to see what the heck is the problem with the 1st FF it says it's a plugin-container.exe error- so how is it that the 2nd launched browser works???
    I created a dump file for anyone smart enough to analyze it- but have nooo idea how or where to upload it lol.

    Look in your device manager and find out what brand of hard drive you have (Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba etc.) Go to the manufacturer's website and download their hard drive certification test (free). Run the test on your drive so you can feel that it is not the hard drive. Then run the HP memory test from your utility partition (I think you hit F10 while starting the machine).  There is always a chance that your connector to your hard drive is bad or the contacts are dirty but that is an outside shot.

    lost number, help

    Blueberry's spot on (again brilliant, man!), I lost my paperwork as well but still had the receipt from the Apple Store.  I called AppleCare and they ended up issuing me a new serial number that they emailed to me and registered with their system. Easy as pie.
