LibreOffice 25.2 Help
The following table is an overview of the error messages for LibreOffice Calc. If the error occurs in the cell that contains the cursor, the error message is displayed on the Status Bar.
| Error Code | Message | Explanation | 
|---|---|---|
| ### | none | The cell is not wide enough to display the contents. | 
| #FMT | none | This value is outside of limits valid for this format | 
| #N/A | Not Available | A result for the formula expression is not available. | 
| 501 | Invalid character | Character in a formula is not valid, for example, "=1Eq" instead of "=1E2". | 
| 502 | Invalid argument | Function argument is not valid. For example, a negative number for the SQRT() function, for this please use IMSQRT(). | 
| 503 | Invalid floating point operation | A calculation results in an overflow of the defined value range. | 
| 504 | Parameter list error | Function parameter is not valid, for example, text instead of a number. | 
| 507, 508 | Error: Pair missing | Missing bracket, for example, closing brackets, but no opening brackets | 
| 509 | Missing operator | Operator is missing, for example, "=2(3+4) * ", where the operator between "2" and "(" is missing. | 
| 510 | Missing variable | Variable is missing, for example when two operators are together "=1+*2". | 
| 511 | Missing variable | Function requires more variables than are provided, for example, AND() and OR(). | 
| 512 | Formula overflow | Compiler: the total number of internal tokens, (that is, operators, variables, brackets) in the formula exceeds 8192. | 
| 513 | String overflow | Compiler: an identifier in the formula exceeds 1024 characters (UTF-16 code points) in size. Interpreter: a result of a string operation would exceed 256M characters (UTF-16 code points, so 512MiB) in size. | 
| 514 | Internal overflow | An internal calculation stack overflow occurred. | 
| 515 | Internal syntax error | Unknown error. | 
| 516 | Internal syntax error | Matrix is expected on the calculation stack, but is not available. | 
| 517 | Internal syntax error | Unknown code, for example, a document with a newer function is loaded in an older version that does not contain the function. | 
| 518 | Internal syntax error | Variable is not available | 
| 519 | No value (instead of Err:519 cell displays #VALUE!) | The formula yields a value that does not corresponds to the definition, or a cell that is referenced in the formula contains a text string instead of a number. | 
| 520 | Internal syntax error | Compiler creates an unknown compiler code. | 
| 521 | No code or no intersection. | No code or no result. | 
| 522 | Circular reference | Formula refers directly or indirectly to itself and the Iterations option is not set under LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - LibreOffice Calc - Calculate. | 
| 523 | The calculation procedure does not converge | Function missed a targeted value, or iterative references do not reach the minimum change within the maximum number of steps set. | 
| 524 | Not a valid reference (instead of Err:524 cell displays #REF!) | Compiler: a column or row description name could not be resolved. Interpreter: in a formula, the column, row, or sheet that contains a referenced cell is missing. | 
| 525 | Invalid names | An identifier could not be evaluated, for example, no valid reference, no valid function name, no column/row label, no macro, incorrect decimal separator, add-in not found. | 
| 527 | Internal overflow | Interpreter: References, such as when a cell references a cell, are too encapsulated. | 
| 530 | No AddIn | Interpreter: AddIn not found. | 
| 531 | No Macro | Interpreter: Macro not found. | 
| 532 | Division by zero | Division operator / if the denominator is 0 | 
| 533 | Nested arrays are not supported | For example, ={1;{2}} | 
| 538 | Error: Array or matrix size | The maximum limit for sorting has exceeded (the maximum is twice the maximum number of rows, so for 1048576 rows 2097152 entries). The same Err:538 is also used whenever a temporary matrix could not be allocated due to its size requirement. | 
| 539 | Unsupported inline array content | For example, ={1+2} | 
| 540 | External content disabled | A function that requires (re)loading of external sources is encountered and the user has not confirmed reloading of external sources yet. |
