##### - Sometimes referred to as “Railroad tracks”, this error can be caused by several conditions:

  • A number in a cell is too wide for the cell to display it.

  • The formula in the cell produces a result that is too wide for the cell.

  • There is a negative number in the cell that has been formatted for dates or times. Dates and times in Excel must be positive values.
