Handling Errors Resulting from Attached Formulas

On the home screen, you can attach to a list a formula that references another list with
dimension 0 (Chapter 11). However, you cannot display the formula-generated list in the
stat list editor or on the home screen until you enter at least one element to the list that
the formula references.

All elements of a list referenced by an attached formula must be valid for the attached
formula. For example, if

Real

number mode is set and the attached formula is

log(L1)

,

then each element of

L1

must be greater than 0, since the logarithm of a negative

number returns a complex result.

Notes:

If an error menu is returned when you attempt to display a formula-generated list in
the stat list editor, you can select

2:Goto

, write down the formula that is attached to

the list, and then press

‘ Í to detach (clear) the formula. You then can use

the stat list editor to find the source of the error. After making the appropriate
changes, you can reattach the formula to a list.

If you do not want to clear the formula, you can select

1:Quit

, display the referenced

list on the home screen, and find and edit the source of the error. To edit an element
of a list on the home screen, store the new value to

listname(element#)

(Chapter 11).
