• Message text: Field overflow in formula for &1, object &2

What causes this issue?

The formula in column '&v2&' of element '&v3&' could not be evaluated
because a field overflow occurred.

System Response

The value of the cell was not changed.

How to fix this error?

Check for the following causes or have them checked by your system
administrator:
Are the values used in the computation reasonable or are entries
missing?
Does the technical type of column '&v2&' have a sufficient size to
accommodate any expected values?
Does the calculation contain recursions that do not converge - that is,
does the formula lead to repetition of mathematical steps without
reaching an end? This can happen in recursive computational structures
in which a material item or activity occurs in multiple hierarchy levels
at the same time, and thus is defined as a part of itself.

Procedure for System Administrators
