How do you trace an error in a formula/function?

I have a very complex formula in one of my cells, and there is an error. The little help box that explains the error doesn't help me, as I still can't find the error? Is there any way to trace the error? I know that Excel has such a function, I was hoping Numbers had one too. It says "The operator '*' expects a number but found "." I have 12 products in my formula, and I can't find an error in the formula or in any cell. I searched the document for "." but it only found some in my comments. Thanks

Copy the formula and paste it here and we'll take a look at it.

  • How do you fix this error?  Can't access photos Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable

    How do you fix this error?  Can't access photos----" Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and use a new library then your current library is damaged.
    If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    This error is generally exhibited when someone tries to downgrade iOS. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694

  • TS1702 In plain english how do you download past error message 0x800B0101

    In plain english how do you download past error message 0x8ooB0101?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    How do you deauthorize computers that are no longer functional?

    i followed the directions to deauthorize one "fried" computer and one old Windows laptop i no longer use from my new MacBook Pro.  When i go into iTunes on my new MacBook Pro, however, iTunes says i still have 5 authorized computers and i can't set up my music on my laptop using iTunes Match.  I did not deauthorize all my computers because i still have an iphone and two ipads.  Now that i've invoked deauthorize, what am i supposed to do for the next 12 months until i can deauthorize again?

  • Error in a formula function

    Hi,
    i ran the infopackge.load was failed.failed request is showing Record 1 :Error in a formula function (routine ROUTINE_0001 ), record 1 .why this error is coming.how can i solve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Ali

    Hi,
    As refered by the posts above , you need to edit the data in to PSA, now try going through the procedure below:
    1. Once data is loaded till PSA , ther will be a "process Manually Tab" in the status of the ip, press that.
    2. Now you will get the error in the processing packets .
    3.make the IP red , delete the failed request from target( Info cube), sice for DSO there is a specific procedure.
    4.now go bak to ip click on the psa tab, the error displays record '1', so select the first record in PSA, put the size of the record in the no. of error records and select " error record".
    5. now you will se this error record in the PSA.
    6. Click on the edit record , you will se the canonical structure of the record with its field.
    7. No try editing th record for there might be a entry which seems to be diff from other(compare with correctly loaded records).
    8. edit it , save the changes.
    9. now either recostructing the PSA or manually pushing the failed request to target.
    Hope this will serve your cause
    Thax & Regards

  • BW prod: 'error in a formula function'

    We have problem RSAR 194 ('error in a formula function') in data load.
    We use the following formula functions between IS and ODS (transfer/update rules):
    FISCPER_CALMONTH( MONAT, FISCVAR, LEFT( 4, FISCPER ), 0 )
    LEFT( 4, CALMONTH_FISCPER( CALMONTH, 'V3', 0 ) )
    RIGHT( 3, CALMONTH_FISCPER( CALMONTH, 'V3', 0 ) )
    DATE_FISCPER( ADD_TO_DATE( CONCATENATE( DATE_MONTH( SYST-DATUM ), '01' ), 1- ), 'V3' )
    The problem occurs with data load from R/3 production, but just in the BW production environment:
    in the BW development environment, the same data load process works properly.
    (note that the development environment has been transported into the production environment without applying any changes,
    so the production environment is the same as the development environment).
    Both the develpment and the production environment have BW release 3.5 (on AIX/Oracle), with support package 14.
    Related notes: notes 652706 and 690772 refer to the same problem but with BW relaeses 3.0-3.1;
    note 798787 refer to the same problem also with BW 3.5 release but with support package prior to 11.
    None ot them reports differences between development and production environments.
    Does someone know how to solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    Massimo

    Hi massimo,
      'V3' is fiscvariant..?, check this is available in Production or not.
       Check any dumps in st22. you will get some more info. and alos see the details tab in monitor.

    Hi Srinivas dev,
        Just check the key define for the ODS, and the Record for that line where it is giving error at PSA. I think there is no value for the Key maintain for the ODS.
