## Error Handling
### Common Errors
**Error: InvalidFileException**
- Cause: File is not a valid .xlsx (possibly .xls)

**Error: Circular reference**
- Cause: Formula references itself
- Solution: Review formula logic and break the cycle
**Error: #REF! in formulas**
- Cause: Cell reference is invalid (deleted row/column)
- Solution: Use named ranges or validate references
**Error: Memory issues with large files**
- Cause: Loading entire file into memory
- Solution: Use `read_only=True` or `write_only=True` mode
