[dba-Tech] Excel overflow error

Hi Arthur:

This usually happens when you have one cell, say cell A:1, formula calling
another cell, say F:2, and the local formula is calling back to the first
one. You know the old endless loop thing.

It could also be that some formula is resulting in division by zero at odd
times or even nulls.

Excel is not as sophisticated as Access in managing code.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Excel overflow error

Can someone advise what is occurring when I get an error message from Excel
that says "Overflow." That's all it says.

TIA,
Arthur
