Inaccurate Error Code with Pages files

I keep having an issue with Pages files that are shared via iCloud.


On one device, a cell shows a red error code triangle; on another device, the same cell has no issue. When the computer that shows the error quits pages and then reopens the file, the error code disappears.


Can't figure out what is going on.


Anyone else having this issue?

The first criterion for collaboration of Pages documents via iCloud is that everyone is using the current (v14.2) version of Pages. That means a Sonoma or Sequoia prerequisite at this point. If you are not using collaboration but just provide a link to a Pages document, then you may encounter a version of Pages that does not have the same formula support for the document.

There is no assurance that a Pages document table uses the same formulas across macOS, iOS/iPadOS, or iCloud. Copying and pasting a Numbers table into Pages further complicates things as Numbers has a formula superset status over Pages tables and the latter may not support some formulas.
