You should use Primes rudimentary error tracing facility.

Left click the incorrect expression and on the calculation ribbon menu chose "First" in the error tracing section. This brings you to

b.0 is a function with three arguments and those arguments are missing here. But I guess that the function is wrong in that place anyway as it would yield a length and this would result in a unit mismatch. Could it be that it should simply be beta(C.x,X.y)?

Furthermore you will have to use vectorization and your objective function is not unit balanced.

See my remarks in the attached worksheet.
