Google-sheets – How to find _any_ formula error in a Google Sheet via a standard command (and not a script)

formulasgoogle sheetsgoogle-sheets-query

For complex Google Sheets with many tabs (my teams effectively employ Google Sheets as a sort of database in these scenarios), is there a relatively-easy way to search for any and all formula errors (across all tabs) like these errors without having to create a script?

I'm thinking something like a Find and replace option that offers a Find formula errors checkbox.

The purpose: when adjusting formulas, named ranges, and the like: it's quite cumbersome for a spreadsheet designer/maintainer to manually look through all formulas in all tabs to find if anything is broken. We'd rather employ some automated-find-any-errors mechanism to avoid such efforts.

I've performed non-trivial web searches and searched all the features I could find within Google Sheets, and I see nothing like this feature. The only other option I see is writing a significant, embedded script or other automation, which is what we're looking to specifically avoid.

Google Sheets doesn't include that as a built-in feature. Please send a feature request direclty to Google through the Google Sheets Help menu

At this time the menu shows "Help Sheets to improve".

It's worthy to mention that FIND AND REPLACE can highlight / navigate through the cells diplaying an error, i.e. #N/A

You could even use regular expressions to search for multiple errors.
