1.#QNAN Solution


Hello all,
I'm running descriptive stats on mileages from a database (float numbers,
about a million records). My sum returns 1.#QNAN, which I understand from
searching this forum is an error.

While I'm looking for help in solving this problem, I'm more interested in a
general explanation about the cause of this problem. Any ideas?

Thanks
Greg Corradini
