Array as a "named range" - formula ok in cells, but error as "named range"
I want to have array formula as a named range, but Excel doesn't accept
this formula. Maybe it is the "&" sign, or? How should I write? I have Swedish signs, therefore use ";" instead of "," etc, I guess. ={"Telecom";"Public & Healthcare";"Industrial & Utilities";"Banking & Insurance";"Retail & Logistics";"Other";"Company"};{"Telecom";"P&H";"In dustry";"B&I";"R&L";"Others";"Others"} THIS worksheet formula is accepted into an ordinary cell.. I recieve "Others" in the cell: =LOOKUP("Company";{"Telecom";"Public & Healthcare";"Industrial & Utilities";"Banking & Insurance";"Retail & Logistics";"Other";"Company"};{"Telecom";"P&H";"In dustry";"B&I";"R&L";"Others";"Others"}) So - any idea how it should be as a named range formula? Happy to all suggestions, Tskogstrom |

Array as a "named range" - formula ok in cells, but error as "named range"
Hi Tskogstrom
If I was doing that in the UK, I would write it as: ={"Telecom","Telecom";"Public & Healthcare","P&H";"Industrial & Utilities","Industry";"Banking & Insurance","B&I";"Retail & Logistics","R&L";"Other","Others";"Company","Other s"} You may have to swap the "," and ";" around. Basically, it forms a grid where the columns are separated by "," and the rows by ";". Hope this helps!

Or possibly this:
={"Telecom";"Public & Healthcare";"Industrial & Utilities";"Banking & Insurance";"Retail & Logistics";"Other";"Company","Telecom";"P&H";"Indu stry";"B&I";"R&L";"Othe*rs";"Others"} I've just taken out the };{ from the middle (this was causing it to error), and replaced the semi-colon between "Company" and "Telecom" with a comma (",").

Array as a "named range" - formula ok in cells, but error as "named range"
Hi,
thanks for trying. I have now changed national settings to UK and this is OK: {"Telecom","Telecom";"Public & Healthcare","P&H";"Industrial & Utilities","Industry";"Banking & Insurance","B&I";"Retail & Logistics","R&L";"Other","Others2";"Company","Othe rs"} Still my Lookup formula doesn't work - BUT nor in the worksheet: In the worksheet cell this formula produce "2" as it should: =LOOKUP("b",{"a",1;"b",2;"c",3}) Shouldn't this formula in that case produce "P&H"? It doesn't, whatever I write as "lookup_value", it gives "Others2" as result. The same I recieve from the named range with same syntax: =LOOKUP("Public & Healthcare",{"Telecom","Telecom";"Public & Healthcare","P&H";"Industrial & Utilities","Industry";"Banking & Insurance","B&I";"Retail & Logistics","R&L";"Other","Others2";"Company","Othe rs"}) Why "Others2" ?What have I missed?? /regards tskogstrom RichardSchollar skrev: Or possibly this: ={"Telecom";"Public & Healthcare";"Industrial & Utilities";"Banking & Insurance";"Retail & Logistics";"Other";"Company","Telecom";"P&H";"Indu stry";"B&I";"R&L";"Othe*rs";"Others"} I've just taken out the };{ from the middle (this was causing it to error), and replaced the semi-colon between "Company" and "Telecom" with a comma (",").

Array as a "named range" - formula ok in cells, but error as "named range"
From Excel help (and I didn't consider this possibility - my apologies)
Important The values in array must be placed in ascending order: ....,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ..., A-Z, FALSE, TRUE; otherwise, LOOKUP may not give the correct value. Uppercase and lowercase text are equivalent. Which I presume is why you are getting an incorrect result. You can correct this by using the VLOOKUP form (at least the following worked for me): =VLOOKUP("Public & Healthcare",{"Telecom","Telecom";"Public & Healthcare","P&H";"Industrial & Utilities","Industry";"Banking & Insurance","B&I";"Retail & Logistics","R&L";"Other","Others2";"Company","Othe rs"},2,0) Richard tskogstrom wrote: Hi, thanks for trying.

Array as a "named range" - formula ok in cells, but error as "named range"
Hi,
I tested with a reference to a two column (Lookup(array)) instead and it gives the same result. I thought at first it had something to do with the "&" or blanks, but "Telecom" also give "Others". Also tested Lookup(vector), definingt the two columns singlehanded but with same result. It must have something to do with the usage of Lookup formula, doesn't it? /regards tskogstrom RichardSchollar skrev: Or possibly this: ={"Telecom";"Public & Healthcare";"Industrial & Utilities";"Banking & Insurance";"Retail & Logistics";"Other";"Company","Telecom";"P&H";"Indu stry";"B&I";"R&L";"Othe*rs";"Others"} I've just taken out the };{ from the middle (this was causing it to error), and replaced the semi-colon between "Company" and "Telecom" with a comma (",").
