Condition ERROR

Casio Casio Calculator

Severity: Minor

What it means

Condition ERROR means the calculation cannot be performed in the current mode or with the current settings.
You may be trying to use a function that requires a specific mode (STAT, Complex, etc.).
Switch to the correct mode.

Affected Models

  • Casio fx-991EX
  • Casio fx-991ES Plus
  • Casio fx-CG50

Common Causes

  • Using a statistics function outside STAT mode
  • Using complex numbers in Real mode
  • Using a function not available in the current calculation mode
  • Attempting base-N operations in wrong mode

How to Fix It

  1. Switch to the correct mode for your calculation.

    Press MENU (or MODE) and select the appropriate mode:
    Complex, Statistics, Base-N, Equation, etc.

  2. For complex numbers: switch to Complex mode.

    MENU > Complex (or a+bi mode).
    Real mode does not allow complex number operations.

  3. For statistics: switch to STAT mode first.

    MENU > Statistics.
    Enter data before using stat functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many modes does the fx-991EX have?

The fx-991EX has modes for: Calculate, Complex, Base-N, Matrix, Vector, Statistics, Spreadsheet, Table, Equation, Inequality, Ratio, and Distribution.

Does mode affect my stored values?

But some variables are mode-specific (like statistical data).
