If a message is generated during a kernel evaluation, it is sent to the Mathematica messages window. Here are some evaluations that generate kernel messages. Example | Result | =EVAL("7+") | $Failed or #VALUE! | =EVAL("1/0") | ComplexInfinity | =EVAL("Inverse","{{1,2},{2,4}}") | Inverse[{{1,2},{2,4}}] |
EVAL single argument examples. When a Mathematica evaluation returns $Failed, an Excel #VALUE! is returned. This suppresses further evaluations that depend on this result. However, often when messages are generated, the original calculation request may be returned unevaluated as shown in the last example. Notes • Options that control how the link responds to a kernel message can be specified under the Mathematica Options  Message tab. |
