Posting your formula helps.
=IF(CHOOSE(VALUE(LEFT($I$1,1)),$AA$80:$AA$128,$AB$ 80:$AB$128,$AC$80:$AC$128,$AD$80:$AD$128)="YES","S urplus Lines Tax","")

One more piece is missing:
What cell(s) hold that formula?

As it stands, that formula will return "Surplus Lines Tax" or "" only if the
formula is located in a cell in rows 80 through 128. Otherwise, it returns
#VALUE! because all other rows do not intersect with any of the referenced
ranges. Is that what you intended?

from some cells (below the print area) it evaluates to true, from others to
false. Within the print area it gives a Value error.

I have a formula that contains a choose function with absolute cell
references. When I copy and paste this formula to other cells some result in
true, some in false and some in a Value error. The one place I really need
it to work it always resolves to a value error. What is causing this?
