Microsoft Exam 77-427 Topic 9 Question 34 Discussion

The #NULL! error is produced by Excel when a user attempts to intersect two ranges that do not intersect each other. This error can be resolved by reviewing the formula and then either by changing the variables to ensure that the user is getting a valid intersection or by using the Excel Iferror function to identify a null range and take the required action. Answer option D is incorrect. Excel #DIV/0! is produced when a formula attempts to divide by zero and a division by zero produces infinity that cannot be represented by a spreadsheet value. This error can be corrected or overcome by using the Excel IF function to identify a possible division by zero and produce an alternative result. Answer option A is incorrect. The #VALUE! Excel formula error occurs when any of the variables in a formula is of the wrong type. To correct this error, it is required to check each individual part of the formula to make sure that the correct argument types are used. If the function contains nested functions, the best way is to copy each of the arguments into a separate cell to check what they evaluate to. If the formula contains a number of terms, break down each term further to find out its components, until the source of the error is found. Answer option B is incorrect. The #NAME? error occurs when Excel encounters text in a formula and tries to interpret that text as a reference, a named range, or a function name but is not able to recognize the text as any of these. The best way to approach the #NAME? Excel function error is to check the correct spelling of the function names, references, and named ranges and to check that the variables used as text values are entered in double quotes. If the formula contains nested functions, it is required to check the results of these individually, until the source of the error is identified.
