This article was previously published under Q276034
Expand all | Collapse all

SYMPTOMS

When you open a Microsoft Works Spreadsheet or a Microsoft Works Database file that contains the NA() function in a formula, ERR may be displayed instead of the expected value.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you refer to a cell that is blank or contains a zero (0) value.

For example, if cell A1 in the following formula is blank or contains a zero value, ERR is displayed in cell B1:
B1=IF(A1=0, NA(), A1)
				

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, save the file as a Works 4.x or Works 2000 file:
  1. On the File menu, click Save as.
  2. In the Save as type box, click Works 4.x/2000 (*.wks).
  3. Type a name for the file, and then click Save.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
