Limit to MOD function
 

I have discovered that the MOD funcktion apparently does not work for numbers larger than 268,435,455, as larger numbers return #NUM!. I do not seem to be able to find any documentation for this.

Can anybody help? Is there such a limitation, and is it documentet?

I tested it and you are right. With larger number I get the error. But I
also can't find any documentation about this error. You can do a
workaround:
MOD(n, d) = n - d*INT(n/d)

Thank you. I used the workaround and I also found an explanation:
