Biff:

Thank you for responding. Your experience was exactly the same as mine.
I think I will send this to the Micrsoft support folks and see what
they say.

I will let you know if I hear anything worthwhile.

Hi!

I ran into the same thing using the NETWORKDAYS function a couple of years
ago and posted a similar question.

I don't know if I'd be able to find that thread but the most reasonable
explanation (not definitive) was that it's caused by having multiple
function calls to the ATP.

I use the evaluate formula command often on long complex formulas but you
can do (almost) the same thing by highlighting the expressions in the
formula bar and then pressing F9.

I'll see if I can find that thread.

Hi:

I am trying to evaluate the following formula

=IF(OR(LEDx<=ASDx,LSDx(EDATE(ASDx,12))),0,IF(AND( LSDx<=ASDx,LEDx
(EDATE(ASDx,11))),12))

where

LSDx = 9/1/06
ASDx= 9/1/06
LEDx= 8/31/08

but it returns a #Name?. However if I execute the formula it returns
the value I expect which is 12.

If I split the formula into the 2 IF statements (after adding in a
close paren) I can evaluate either IF statement

Since I am using EDATE, I have the Analysis ToolPak addin installed. I
have also tried loading and unloading it to make sure.

What am I doing wrong?

Thx

Mike
