Individual: Microsoft® Excel® Troubleshooting Exercise

Develop an Excel® application support checklist based on the learning team discussion points. This activity should be completed in Microsoft® Excel®and submitted as an Excel® spreadsheet.
Fill in your spreadsheet with content for each of the five issues, symptoms, and resolutions.
Format your assignment as an Excel® spreadsheet as follows:
• Use three columns (A,B,C).
• Format each column width to 50.
• Format all cells in these columns as text.
• Set all cells to Wrap Text.
• In the first row, merge and center all cells to create your title.
o Bold text, Light Gray fill color for cell, and set text size to 16.
• In the second row, title your columns as follows in Bold text:

Learning Team Discussion Points

 

1. # Name? : This error occurs when a function is missing or there is some spelling mistake in formula.

2. ####: This error occurs when the data you have entered in a cell is too wide to fit in the cell. Suppose you have entered 198877655444 in a cell, error will show up if the column is not wide enough to fit this number.

3. #DIV/0: This error occurs when you try to divide a value by 0. For example cell A1 contains 10, cell A2 contains 0 and when you write a formula in A3= A1/A2, the error will show up.

4. #REF! : This error occurs if you have used invalid cell reference or the cell that you have used in a formula has been deleted. Suppose you have written a formula to calculate the sum is C5:= SUM (A1:A4; B1:B4) and A4 has been deleted then this error will show up.

5. #VALUE! : This error occurs if you have entered an incorrect data type or range in a cell. For example you have calculated range of cell without using the word SUM or parenthesis i.e. [=A1:A5], above error will show up.

6. #N/A: This error occurs when a value is missing or unavailable in a function

7. #NULL! : This error occurs when you omit comma in a function. Suppose you have typed a formula to calculate sum i.e. =SUM (A1:A6 B1;B5), in this case Excel will try to find the sum that is common to both cells.

8. #NUM! : This error occurs when you enter a non valid argument in a function. For example you have entered a negative number where positive number is required.
