It sound like you are talking about the Name Box which is part of the
Formula Bar

...
When selecting multiple columns or rows, IE click on column A, hold and
drag
multiple columns, the little box that counts the number of columns, IE 1C,
2C, 3C..., is not there. So when I do a V-Lookup function, and scroll
across
the columns I need to use, it doesn't count them for me.

Has anyone else seen or have had this problem?

TIA
