Equation too long (Error 4):

•The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (160 charac- ters).

An equation must be shorter than 160 characters.

No solution (Error 5):

•The iteration limit was exceeded while calculating one of the following values in an overly complex problem:

•I/Y (TVM solver)

•IRR (Discounted cash flow analysis)*1

•YIELD (Bond calculations)

*1 If you get an error while calculating IRR, enter an estimated value into RATE(I/Y) and calculate again.

Display error (Error 6):

•An attempt was made to display “9.999 ⋅ 1099” when the dis- play notation tab number was set to “2”.

If this happens, press sand ~02to set the display notation settings to “floating point”. Then try again.

Input value error (Error 7):

•An attempt was made to enter a nonexistent date. Ex. February 30th

•An attempt was made to enter an invalid numeric value into a financial calculation.

•a negative value or 0 into P/Y or C/Y

•anything except an integer between 1 and 9,999 into AMRT P1 or AMRT P2

•a non-integer into DAYS

•anything except 1 or 2 into CPN/Y

•anything except an integer between 1 and 999 as a cash flow frequency

•anything except a positive integer into YEAR

•anything except a value between 1 and 13 into START MONTH
