2.7.1 Error Messages

  Have you ever wasted time doing detective work, trying to find the source of a problem while a spreadsheet beeps warnings at you? If so, you will appreciate the NExS difference. NExS error messages do more than notify you of a problem; they describe the nature of the problem and provide clues to resolving it. For example, the message:

Error: Goalseek - variable cell must be a constant

means that the cell which changes during Goalseek must contain a constant value.

NExS displays error messages on the Message Line at the bottom of the primary spreadsheet display. A full list of NExS error messages and values and what they mean is contained in Appendix C.
