Common Errors

Formula Returns 0

Possible causes

  • Account number doesn't exist in NetSuite

  • No transactions were posted for that account in the specified period

  • Filters are too restrictive — wrong subsidiary, department, or other dimension

Solution

Verify the account exists in NetSuite and has activity for the period. Try removing filters one at a time to isolate the cause.


Formula Shows #BUSY

Cause

XAVI is currently fetching data from NetSuite.

Solution

Wait a few seconds. If it persists, check your internet connection. A stable connection is required for XAVI to communicate with NetSuite. One exception is balance sheet accounts, which take longer to calculate since they need to sum up amounts from the beginning of time.


Formula Shows #VALUE!

Cause

One or more parameters are in an invalid format.

Solution

Check that:

  • The account is a number or valid wildcard pattern (e.g., "4010" or "4*")

  • Period format is correct (e.g., "Jan 2025" — not "January 2025" or "01/2025")

  • Skipped filter parameters use "" as a placeholder, not a missing comma


All Formulas Return 0 Suddenly

Possible causes

  • Temporary server connection issue

  • The tunnel URL has changed

Solution

  1. Click Refresh All in the task pane — this clears the cache automatically

  2. Check the connection status indicator in the task pane

  3. If the connection shows as disconnected, contact your administrator


Slow Performance

Solutions

  • Use wildcards for summary rows instead of individual account formulas (e.g., "6*" instead of 20 separate accounts)

  • Drag formulas instead of typing each one — dragging triggers XAVI's batch optimization, which can consolidate 60+ formulas into a single API call

  • Group similar formulas together on the sheet so they are batched more efficiently
