Nan value in excel

Here are the different error-codes that Excel knows about, stored in XML format:

<Cell><Data ss:Type="Error">#DIV/0!</Data></Cell>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="Error">#NUM!</Data></Cell>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="Error">#VALUE!</Data></Cell>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="Error">#N/A</Data></Cell>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="Error">#NAME?</Data></Cell>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="Error">#REF!</Data></Cell>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="Error">#NULL!</Data></Cell>

Only the first two are relevant for your question, but I added the others for the sake of completeness.

But occasionly the value I’m writing has either NaN, DIV/0, or INF

DIV/0 maps to #DIV/0!. I do not think there is a distinction between NaN or INF in Excel, they both seem to be expressed as #NUM!. For example, both of the following formulas resulted in #NUM!, even though the first one is an invalid number whereas the second one is just very large.

=ASIN(2)
=EXP(EXP(10))

Interesting, tough hardly useful: Excel allows you to enter these literal error values (including all punctuation) into cells on your worksheet without a problem. In a sense, these are built-in constants.
