Question

select the correct answer.
you try to enter your name into a cell that accepts a numeric value. what error would you receive?
a. #name
b. #value
c. #ref
d. #####
e. #div

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each error type

• #NAME: Occurs when Excel doesn't recognize a text as a function or range name.
• #VALUE: Appears when there's a wrong type of argument in a function or formula. Entering text (name) in a cell expecting numeric value is a wrong - type situation.
• #REF: Happens when a formula refers to a deleted cell or range.
• ####: Usually due to column width being too narrow to display the content.
• #DIV: Appears when there's a division by zero in a formula.

Since entering a non - numeric (text) value in a cell that expects a numeric value is a wrong - value - type situation, the error is #VALUE.

Answer:

B. #VALUE
