Calculated Values Appear in a Different Format

Calculated values may appear as number signs (###), na, or in scientific notation (for example, 1.7976931348623158e+308).

If the values appear as number signs (###), it is because the width of the cell is too narrow. To see the values, increase the width of the cell.

If the values appear as na, it is because your calculation contains a category with a null value. For forecast calculations, IBM® Cognos® PowerPlay® does not have appropriate values on which to base a forecast.

If the values appear in scientific notation, it is because the result is larger than 15 digits.
