An error will occur if an operation exceeds the calculation rang-
es, or if a mathematically illegal operation is attempted. When 
an error occurs, pressing 

g or y automatically moves 

the cursor back to the place in the equation where the error oc-
curred. Edit the equation or press 

s to clear the equation.

Note:  If an error occurs during the automatic calculation of a 

listed fi nancial variable, pressing 

s, g, or y 

displays the fi rst variable in the function.

Syntax error (Error 1):
•  An attempt was made to perform an invalid operation.

•  There was a fi nancial calculation error, such as:

• an error listed in “Financial Calculation Formulas” (see 

pages 72 – 75) occurred

• an attempt was made to fi nd I/Y when PV, PMT × N, and 

FV contain all negative or all positive values

• an attempt was made to fi nd IRR when the cash fl ow data 

contains all negative or all positive values

• an attempt was made to fi nd YIELD in a bond calculation 

when any of COUPON, REDEMPT, or PRICE contain 
negative values

Depth error (Error 3):
