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 - "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.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you are running approval workflow and opening the Excel file, then it will occur the error above.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you can try to create a new normal excel file and then run the workflow and open the file to test if it works. It will help to figure out if this is the file itself issue or the SharePoint issue.
Also, please provide some more detailed information such as screen capture, it will easier to find the root cause of the issue.
Thanks

BODS 4.2 Cannot import the metadata table, RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN syntax error

Hi all, we installed BODS 4.2 server to substitute a 4.1, but we are facing the error:
Error: Cannot import the metadata table <name=T001>
RFC CallReceive error <Function /BODS/RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN: RFC_ABAP_RUNTIME_FAILURE -(Exception Key: Syntax error in program /BODS/SAPLBODS....
We already tried the solution for when people get the error related to unicode.
Also, we are able to pull data via extractors, it only fails when loading Tables....
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear,
You will have to import the new ABAP Function Group "BODS/BODS".
Here are some details:
Installing Functions on the SAP Server
SAP BusinessObjects Data Services provides functions that support the use of the ABAP, BAPI, and
IDoc interfaces on SAP servers. You will need some or all of these functions in the normal operation
of the software in an SAP environment. These functions perform such operations as dynamically loading
and executing ABAP programs from Data Services, efficiently running preloaded ABAP programs,
allowing for seamless metadata browsing and importing from SAP servers, and reporting the status of
running jobs. Some of these functions read data from SAP NetWeaver BW sources.
You must upload the provided functions to your SAP server in a production environment. It is
recommended that you always upload the functions to your SAP server whether you are in a
development, test, or production environment. The functions provide seamless integration between
Data Services and SAP servers.
The default installation places two function module files for SAP servers in the ...\Data
Services\Admin\R3_Functions\transport directory. You then upload these files to SAP servers
using the SAP Correction and Transport System (CTS) or manually. Using CTS allows for version
control as the functions evolve across releases.
The installation provides two versions of transport files (depending on the server version you are using)
to install the functions on the SAP server. To obtain the names of the latest transport files for installing
or upgrading these SAP server functions, see the readme.txt file
And I've found those files and text files in the local install folder....in:
Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services\admin\R3_Functions
(that's where I've installed it).
There you'll find some descriptive txt as how to proceed.
After installing, it might happen that the executing user is missing some authorizations.
Here my authorizations team helped me by tracing the user and then adding the necessary rights.
Sure hope this will help you.

Session keeps running when the query has a syntax error

I have a weird scenario.
Take this query for example: select distinct physassignednum from hsi.docdeficiency where delinqlevel> 0 and dfcystatus in (1,6));
This query has a syntax error as there is an additional bracket at the end. I know that. When I run it on STJOSE database the session keeps running and never returns. Even if I stop it, it does not. I try to disconnect, it says "Connection is currently busy. Try again?" This behavior is pretty consistent on STJOSET. If I run this query on UMASS database it gives me this error (as expected)
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
00933. 00000 - "SQL command not properly ended"
*Cause:
*Action:
Error at Line: 1 Column: 99
I do not know what is wrong with the STJOSE database connection that causes the session to hang and never return.
Please help.

I dont really think that the math header has syntax errors.

Hi,
This is a very serious accusation from make.
Mini:Evaluator develop$ make
bison -d grammar.y
grammar.y: conflicts: 24 shift/reduce
flex rules.l
cc -0 -o Evaluator grammar.tab.c lex.yy.c -ly -ll -lm
In file included from grammar.y:3:

/usr/include/architecture/i386/math.h:355: error: syntax error before numeric constant
make: * [Evaluator] Error 1
Mini:Evaluator develop$
Any ideas as to why I would be getting these two errors?

Often it is because you forgot a semicolon or something in the header file before, or the source file. Eliminate files (or lines) one by one until the error goes away.

but it doens't work, it makes the calculation and don't make the if condition.
Help needed, thanks

Hello,
you have to adopt the formula as below
( key_figure1> 0 ) * key_figure2 + (key_figure1<= 0 ) *key_figure3

Formula Syntax Error

I am trying to work with a formula whereby =1/(1+0.1)² ; =1/(1+0.1)³ etc. How do I do this on Mac numbers?
Each time I enter this formula using the special characters I get the warning: "The Formula contains a Syntax Error".
Absence of an kind of guidance or information from Apple on such basics is shocking.

The fact that you appear to be unable to download the well done resource delivered by Apple is shocking.

Strange syntax error message with some functions!

Hello!
I have a strange trouble with some functions in Numbers.
For example when I try an IF function directly copied and pasted from Numbers documentation I get an error from Numbers that “the formula contains a syntax error.
*The function looks like this:*
*=IF(E6>=0, “Nonnegative”,”Negative”)*
*The value in cell E6 is 25.*
Anyone have a clue about why?

Hello
If you enter my iDisk
<http://idisk.mac.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
You will be able to download:
suriWork:for_Numbers:pour_modifierNumbers.zip
Which gives the ability to change the Numbers behavior (same thing for Pages and Keynote).
Applying it you will get an "Insert functions" tool matching your local settings.
It will insert functions using the semi-colon as parameters delimiter.

IF syntax error

I have a table with cells with values given in columns A, C, E, G etc
In columns B, D, F, H etc I calculate the difference.
However the difference can only have a maximum difference of -50 or 50.
Wanted to use the IF function (together with and) to ensure this.
However I seem to get syntax errors. As the first try was with everything I thought there would be a mistake somewhere. Because I couldn't find it. I wanted to work from the basis upwards.
However even with the most basic IF function I get syntax error.
Created a new document to test.
Cell A1 had value >> 20 <<
Cell A2 had function >> =IF(A1>=0, "True", "False") <<
This should bring back True however I get syntax error. Or to be correct; a red triangle with " The formula contains a syntax error.
What am I missing?

Anyway Apple might want to change their example as well. As that was the first thing I checked and they use commas in the example...
How are you running Numbers and which User Guide are you reading ?
When Numbers is used in French on a French system, the User Guide gives example with semi-colons.
On the same system, if we read the English User Guide, examples are logically using the comma.
If you use Numbers in English on a French system, you are running an exotic config for which no guide is available. In such settings, the functions's names are the English ones but separators are the System ones which means : decimal comma and parameters separated by semi-colons.
We can't ask guides for every exotic config of this kind.
If you dislike that, use a 'normal' config :
English system + English Numbers
or
French system and French Numbers.

VLookup formula contains reference error:

I am using a spreadsheet to grade playing tests based on a series of rubrics. I have a cell that adds up the total of points the student earns for the test. In another table, I have a chart that converts the rubric score to a 100 point based scale to enter in my gradebook. I am trying to write a formula that looks at the cell where the total number of points is and then looks at the table and matches that total to the converted grade. (Example: student receives a total of 35 points based on the rubrics - it converts to an 80 for the gradebook). I have the following formula:
=VLOOKUP(N39,Table 2 :: A1:A51,Table 2 :: B1:B51,FALSE)
N39 has a SUM formula that adds up the rubric points
Table 2 column A has the rubric grades
Table 2 column B has the converted grades
I put FALSE, as I need an exact match
I am getting an error: "the formula contains an invalid reference" I'm not used to using this formula and I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I would like to get this working so I can send the test form to the students via e-mail and not kill as many trees. Suggestions would be welcome

Hi cslviola,
I see two issues here.
You wrote:
"N39 has a SUM formula that adds up the rubric points
Table 2 column A has the rubric grades
Table 2 column B has the converted grades
I put FALSE, as I need an exact match"
Does your lookup table include every possible value of the sum of the rubric grades?
A "close match" in these functions means "the largest value that is less than or equal to the search value."
If every possible search value is included in column a of the lookup table, then a close match will alway be a match to the value that is equal to the search value (ie. an exact match).
If there are possible rubric point sums that are not included in the table, then a function requiring an exact match will return an error if he search vaue (the rubric point sum) is one of the values mising from column A of the Lookup table. Unless that is your expected result, you do not need (and do not want) an exact match.
Regarding your formula:
I see some confusion here between the syntax requirements of LOOKUP and those of VLOOKUP.
=VLOOKUP(N39,Table 2 :: A1:A51,Table 2 :: B1:B51,FALSE)
Here's the LOOKUP syntax:
LOOKUP(search-for, search-where, result-values)
As a LOOKUP formula, your formula above would be:
=LOOKUP(N39,Table 2::A1:A51,Table 2::B1:B51)
LOOKUP always requires only a close match, which is the better choice for your issue.
The syntax for VLOOKUP is a bit different:
VLOOKUP(search-for, columns-range, return-column, close-match)
search-for is the same as for LOOKUP, but the next argument is different.
columns range must specify all of the columns and rows making up the lookup table. In your case, that's columns A and B of Table 2. The search column is always the leftmost column of the Lookup table.
return column is specified as the number corresponding to the position if the return column in the Lookup table. For your case, the return column is column 2 (NOT because it is column B, but because it is the second column of the Lookup table. If your Lookup table consisted of cells J1:K51, the return column (K) would still be column 2)
close value, if set as FALSE, requires an exact match of the search value and the value it finds in the search column; set to TRUE, or omitted from the formula means a close match (as defined above) is aceptable.
Your formula as a VLOOKUP formula, would look like this:
=VLOOKUP(N39,Table 2::A1:B51,2,FALSE) (requiring an exact match)
OR
=VLOOKUP(N39,Table 2::A1:B51,2) (requiring a close match, as defined above)
Personally, I'd go for the LOOKUP version here.

Barry

Hello Cameron,
I do not have any calc script associated with this BSO cube (I have a source ASO cube that supplies the data values to my BSO cube via transparent partiion.) My heart weeps to continue to use this formula, however, it's a working application and at this point in time, due to various project constaints, it's not possible to rewrite any pieces (If I could, I would change the design to go for an all out ASO to ASO design, but that's a separate discussion.)

This formula does not get built correctly in the outline through existing build process and errors out as shown in original post
When I copy and paste this new formula directly in the outline and restructure the outline, it verifies and saves the outline correctly and also gives correct data results. It's the build failure that I am unable to fathom out root cause for.
My build process involves following simple MaxL commands:
spool on to ./myapp.log;
login user pwd on localhost;
alter database xxxx.yyyy reset data; /* (this is not needed as the target bso does not store any data) */
alter system unload application xxxx;
alter system load application xxxx;

spool off;

Can you please look at the new formula and suggest any changes?
Thank you so much in advance.

Can I prevent the rapid flashing which occurs when testing a Flash movie which has a syntax error?

I teach games development using Flash Professional CS6, and one of my students has photosensitive epilepsy. He is finding that the 'strobing' effect which occurs when he executes Test Movie on a movie with errors in its script is triggering headaches which can be a precursor to a fit. Obviously this is making it very difficult for him to complete his lab and assignment work. Is there any way of preventing a Flash movie from running if it contains a syntax error?
I have created a workaround by adding a bunch of extra frames to the start of the movie which will display a "SYNTAX ERROR" message if the script doesn't run - this gives my student a few seconds margin to quite the movie before the strobing begins. I have a single frame at the start with a goto statement which jumps over those error frames if the code doesn't have any syntax errors.
This seems to be working ok, but it's an ugly solution - does anyone know of a better way to deal with this?
Thanks.

1.In Preferences you can check "open test-movie in tabs".
2. Having done that you could write a jsfl-script which switches the focus (immeadiately after you test the movie) to another tab in the same register card, thus, forcing the possible "corrupt" testmovie in the background. If are no compiler errors , the testmovie can be made available by simply switching to the test-movie tab, if there are compiler errors, you can close it without having to look at it.
Another option would be to setup FlashDevelop as compiler trigger of Flash.
You have to change these basic properties in your project:
FlashDevelop will only launch the test movie if it compiles flawless, inside Flash.
FlashDevelop will act as a "bouncer" to Flash.

Can I prevent the rapid flashing which occurs when testing a Flash movie which has a syntax error in

Ask in the Flash forums.

How to resolve the dump Syntax error in program /1BCWDY/824VCAJI0ED4WMLLJ7N

I have created 4 components and I have linked them to a single web dynpro application component through an interface.
This is working fine in development.
When we moved all these objects to quality and when i run the application it is opening the default component. However when i try to call any other component it is giving the following dump.
Syntax error in program /1BCWDY/824VCAJI0ED4WMLLJ7NV==CP.
When we debugged we found that this dump is arising in the CREATE COMPONENT method.
Please suggest how to resolve this issue.

Hi,
Using the method prepare_dynamic_navigation i am calling all the components.
After this method i have written the following code for deleting the active and create the new component.
Delete the active componet if any before bind the called component
IF wa_cmp_usage-component_usage->has_active_component( ) IS NOT INITIAL.
    wa_cmp_usage-component_usage->delete_component( ).
ENDIF.
Bind the compont called to this main component
wa_cmp_usage-component_usage->create_component( lv_target_comp ).     -
> when i debug, inside this am getting dump.
In ST22 the error is occuring in the following place.
call method (l_gen_class_name)=>if_wdr_classloader~create_instance
    receiving
      component_instance = me->component_factory.
I am actually 5 components. The default and the fifth components are only having tab and a text view. There are no other UI elements. These two components are working.
The remaining components are having many UI elements and these components are giving the above said dumps.
