Error Possible Causes

Error 1

Overflow

• A result is outside the calculator range

(9.9999999999999E99).

• Tried to divide by zero (can occur internally).

• Tried to compute 1/x when x is zero.

• Statistics worksheet: a calculation included X or Y

values that are all the same.

Error 2

Invalid

argument

• Tried to compute x! when x is not an integer 0-69.

• Tried to compute LN of x when x is not > 0.

• Tried to compute yx when y < 0 and x is not an

integer or the inverse of an integer.

• Tried to compute when x < 0.

• Amortization worksheet: tried to compute BAL,

PRN, and INT when P2 < P1.

• Depreciation worksheet: a calculation included

SAL > CST.

Error 3

Too many

pending

operations

• More than 15 active levels of parentheses were

tried in a calculation.

• A calculation tried to use more than 8 pending

operations.

Error 4

Out of range

• Amortization worksheet: the value entered for P1

or P2 is outside the range 1-9,999.

• TVM worksheet: the P/Y or C/Y value  0.

• Cash Flow worksheet: the Fnn value is outside the

range 0.5-9,999.

• Bond worksheet: the RV, CPN, or PRI value _0.

• Date worksheet: the computed date is outside the

range January 1, 1950 through December 31, 2049.

• Depreciation worksheet: the value entered for:

declining balance percent  0; LIF  0; YR _ 0; CST <

0; SAL < 0; or M01 1  M01  13.

• Interest Conversion worksheet: the C/Y value  0.

• The DEC value is outside the range 0-9.

x

Error 5

No solution

exists

• TVM worksheet: the calculator computed I/Y when

FV, (N Q PMT), and PV all have the same sign.

(Make sure cash inflows are positive and outflows

are negative.)

• TVM, Cash Flow, and Bond worksheets: the LN

(logarithm) input is not > 0 during calculations.

• Cash Flow worksheet: the calculator computed IRR

without at least one sign change in the cash-flow

list.

Error 6

Invalid date

• Bond and Date worksheets: a date is invalid (for

example, January 32) or in the wrong format (for

example, MM.DDYYYY instead of MM.DDYY.

• Bond worksheet: the calculator attempted a

calculation with a redemption date earlier than or

the same as the settlement date.

Error 7

Iteration limit

exceeded

• TVM worksheet: the calculator computed I/Y for a

very complex problem involving many iterations.

• Cash Flow worksheet: the calculator computed IRR

for a complex problem with multiple sign changes

or for the BA II PLUS™ PROFESSIONAL calculator

PB/DPB with no payback period based on input

cash flow values.

• Bond worksheet: the calculator computed YLD for

a very complex problem.

Error 8

evaluation of I/Y.

• Amortization worksheet: $ was pressed to

stop the evaluation of BAL or INT.
