I have enterred my sheet names into the fomula as follows:

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(INDIRECT("'"&oldWorkSheet&"'!$C$ 1:$C$"&overallLastRow),INDIRECT("'"&newWorkSheet&" '!$C$1:$C$"&overallLastRow),0)),INDIRECT("'"&oldWo rkSheet&"'!$C$1:$C$"&overallLastRow),"""")

When I put this into my module it comments everything out from the first
"&oldWorkSheet&"'!$C$1:$C$"&overall... onwards.

Does this do it

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(INDIRECT("'"&old_sheet&"'!$C$1:$ C$"&overallLastRow),
INDIRECT("'"&new_sheet&"'!$C$1:$C$"&overallLastRow ),0)),
INDIRECT("'"&old_sheet&"'!$C$1:$C$"&overallLastRow ),"""")

I require help with a formula please.

I have the following:

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(old!$C$1:$C$" & overallLastRow & ",new!$C$1:$C$" &
overallLastRow & " ,0)),old!$C$1:$C$" & overallLastRow & " ,"""")

This formula uses 2 lists:

old!$C$1:$C$" & overallLastRow & "
AND
new!$C$1:$C$" & overallLastRow & "

Obviously old and new are the names of the Worksheets on which these lists
are found. These are direct references to these sheets.

What I want to do is give a sheet a name and link to this in a similar way
that I have given a cell number a name of "overallLastRow".

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks
Dave
