many thanks.

the reference g25 is to previous row same column, i.e. if corresp BAmt is
<=0, the BRt or BDt is carried forward.

This table is constantly expanding with new BUY or SELL transactions. How
do
I make the Range Name dynamic so that data entered below the last row is
automatically added to the named range. This was my reason for using
'labels'.

Hi,

Microsoft has taken the Lables in Formulas option out of 2007 and for
good
reason, there are too many problems with it. Use range names instead.
In
your case select all the data and the titles at the tops of the columns
and
choose Insert, Name, Create. Check only the Top row option and click OK.

Now you should be able to use those name in formula without problems. I
put
the table in the range A1:G6. Both formulas worked just fine. But I
don't
know what the references to G26 and F25 are all about, but with the data
you
supplied it didn't matter.

Here is the data and the formulas

BDate BRate BAmt SDate SAmt BRt BDt
01-01-2008 5 25 5 01-01-2008
01-02-2008 14 5 01-01-2008
01-03-2008 16 5 01-01-2008
01-04-2008 4 16 4 01-01-2008
01-07-2008 20 4 01-01-2008

The last two columns are formulas:
BRt= IF(BAmt0,BRate,F25)
BDt= IF(BAmt0,BDate,G26)

I seem to get the BRt figure right but not the BDt figure. I hope you
can
figure out the data because it is not getting aligned.

Just in case, first and fourth row, the fourth and fifth cells are
blank.
the other rows, first three cells are blank.

I have a two labelled columns and 'labels in formula' activated. In
the third
column i have a formula involving the labels. It works like a charm
in the
first row.

However when I copy the formula down to second or third additional
rows of
the third column, it recognises only the first row as the labelled
value.

Can some one please help?
