Can you tell me how you are finding these errors?  Thanks!

@DanaF_Nav 

If your Excel version support Inquire analyse workbook with it and check suspicious array formulae.

@Sergei Baklan Hey, I have spent hours trying to find the issue with the same error that other people had, and the excel is extremely slow. Would you be able to have a look? 

@SerSmi1695 

If you share the file I could try. You may attach it to the post or send Private Message here with file.

Hi Sergei
How would I do this on a Mac since there is no Inquire Add-on? I have a very large complex spreadsheet on which I am getting this error.
Thanks

Sorry, I don't work on Mac, not sure what could be done on that platform.

That's to find someone on Windows who may check or share file here.

@Sergei Baklan All of my spreadsheets show this error and I am not using formulas. This issue just began for me. I have my cells marked as "General" as input type and every time I delete, tab over, press enter, etc. the error pops up. I am simply trying to keep a list of attendees for an event with some details (emails, arrival dates, etc.). Any tips/settings? Thanks!

@Sergei Baklan Similar to other ppl on this thread, I have spent hours trying to find the issue with the same error that other people had, and the Excel is extremely slow. Would you be able to have a look?
Awesome. Would love to share the file. How do I share the file?
Nevermind. I'll private message you. Thanks!

@Sergei Baklan Can you help me with this one? A coworker is having the same error, but it just started happening. We cannot find out what's wrong.

Why are there no move and copy buttons in the windows 11 toolbar ? ? ? The toolbar in the window 11 is useless !!!

@arjunm32 

I can do nothing without the file. If you have Inquire in your version of Excel, you may analyse workbook and check which array formula is wrong.

Hi @Sergei Baklan , how we know from which area that the error value come, that cause the message pop up?

@SriSulis_ID 

Inquire, if you have it in your version of Excel, could help with identification.
