Briefly |
A list of errors you can make in Fathom's formula editor. |
Despite your best efforts, you will probably commit formula errors. Here is a list of what they are, and what they mean.
#Name not recognized |
You have referred to a symbol that Fathom doesn't recognize. For example, you may have misspelled the name of an attribute. |
#Format error |
The formula is poorly formed, e.g., a + ? Or, you have referred to a function that Fathom doesn't recognize. You may have misspelled it, as in mena( ). (mean) |
#Types incompatible |
You have given a function an argument of the wrong type. For example, sin("hello") gives this error. |
#Argument count error |
You've given a function the wrong number of arguments. For example, even(3, 4, 5) gives this error. |
#Domain error |
You've tried to evaluate a function outside its domain. For example, percentile(110, height) returns this error because percentiles must be between 0 and 100 |
#Circular reference |
You've used the attribute you're defining in the formula (perhaps indirectly, through another attribute). |
#Evaluation error |
This is a catchall used when Fathom cannot otherwise explain why the formula did not produce a result. |
