!Error Message FAQ
When Analytics Edge encounters an error that it can’t handle automatically, Quick Queries will stop running and the error message appears in a popup dialog box. If you are running a macro, the message appears as a red bar in the Task Pane. If the message is too long, you can click the red bar, and the full text will appear in a popup.
If the error is not something you did wrong in your query or macro, check to see if there is an update available that fixes or avoids the error. Check the list on the right to see if there is additional guidance for dealing with the specific error you obtained. If not, contact support for assistance.

If the add-in or one of the installed connectors does not have a valid license, none of the queries or macros will run. Open the License wizard to see if all of the installed components have a valid license.
No account specified
This error happens when the query does not specify an account (bad cell reference?), or it uses the Default account setting and you have not saved a default account.
Unexpected error
This usually happens due to a combination of things that were not expected in the programming, causing a crash. If it occurs repeatedly, contact support for assistance. More

The function referenced a column by name or position that does not appear in the data. This is usually caused by a missing column in a query, or a query with no results. More
Invalid dates
Usually caused by the selection of dates that are not recognized (formatting). Most Analytics Edge connectors will recognize Excel dates in cell references, or a combination of options that defines a range of dates (start+duration or start+end or duration+end).
Confirm that cell references used point to the cells that contain the dates (sometimes worksheet changes move the cell locations).
