That will depend on what the error is. Different problems result in a formula not being able to calculate. The appropriate error message for the situation will be displayed. Here are error messages you will see:

#REF!

#DIV/0!

#NAME?

#NULL!

#N/A!

#NUM!

#VALUE!

If there is a problem, Excel will display an error value. The nature of the problem will determine the error value it will show.

What is a cell content on Excel?

It is what is contained within the cell, such as formulas, functions, letters, numbers, symbols, etc. After typing something in, you may see something else, like the result of a calculation by a formula. This is the cell display. So if you type in a formula, it is the cell content, but it will display a result. In reality it is the formula that is in the cell, not what is displayed. So different results will show if values used by the formula change.

What are cell display and cell contents in a spreadsheet?

Cell display is what you see when you look at a cell and cell contents are what is in the cell. Sometimes they are the same, like when you type a number into a cell. Sometimes they are different, like when you type in a formula. When you've entered the formula the cell will normally show some value that the formula creates, like a total. So you might see a number, which is the cell display, but the cell still contains a formula, which is the cell content. If you put the cursor onto a cell and look at the formula bar, it will show you what is in the cell. Formatting a cell can also change the cell display, but not the contents. If you put a number into a cell and format it to currency, you will see the currency value, with a currency symbol and probably two decimal places, but the cell still just contains the number you originally entered.
