Balance this Equation?

Na3PO4 + Ba(NO3)2 = Ba(PO4)2 + NaNO3

I tried different balancers and it keeps telling me that it can't be balanced. Is there something wrong with the original equation? I can't seem to find out what it is.

You have one tiny mistake which does not allow you to balance it.
Formula of barium phospate is Ba3(PO4)2.
And that is easy to balance
