Error codes, explained

When a calculation has no valid answer, Maps for Math shows a standard code instead of a blank or a crash. Most are the same codes spreadsheets use, so you’ll recognize them anywhere.

Code	Meaning	Spreadsheet
`#REF!`	Broken reference	Same as #REF! in spreadsheets.
`#CYCLE!` (site)	Circular reference	Like a spreadsheet’s circular-reference warning.
`#VALUE!`	Wrong kind of input	Same as #VALUE! in spreadsheets.
`#DIV/0!`	Division by zero	Same as #DIV/0! in Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers.
`#NUM!`	No valid real-number result	Same as #NUM! in spreadsheets.
`#RANGE!` (site)	Outside what is physically possible	No spreadsheet equivalent; a spreadsheet would usually say #NUM!.
`#CONFLICT!` (site)	Inputs disagree	No spreadsheet equivalent.
`#N/A`	Not available yet	Same as #N/A in spreadsheets.

When several problems happen at once, the most basic one is shown first, in the order above.
