Regarding Error Code 502 Explanation at:
http://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Error_Codes_in_Calc

currently it is:

"Function argument is not valid, for example, a negative number for the
root function."

It would be nice if it was:

"Function argument is not valid. For example, a negative number for the
SQRT() function, for this please use IMSQRT()."

Sorry for not putting this in the description.
