CheckData ⚠

Raised when

A lookup or a sum could not be completed for this row or total: an input is blank, a combination is not in the lookup tables, or an upstream cell already carries an error. On the Headline Results it means a parcel sheet total could not be read.

To clear it

Go to the parcel sheet the cell points at and find the row with the blank or impossible combination — usually a habitat with no condition, or a condition the habitat cannot take.

See every flag your metric raised, on one page. Drop the workbook on the Check page and Quadrat gathers each ▲ and ⚠ it wrote, with these notes beside it, plus what a planning officer will ask that the metric never flags.

This is one of 98 flag strings the GOV.UK statutory biodiversity metric 1.0.4 and small sites metric 1.2.3 write into cells. Explained from the workbooks' own formulas; where the statutory metric user guide's troubleshooting table covers a flag, the page says so. Quadrat is not affiliated with Defra, Natural England or any planning authority.
