Functions in Name Box
 
Hi,

I'm a figure it out as you go user, however, I can't figure out how to
reverse what I've done. Was happily working on my spreadheet and noticed that
the namebox now has "timevalue" in it which is blocking me from using defined
names. I have tried to change it to several other functions but essentially
what I want is for it to be back to normal...which allowed me to do
everything! Any help would be appreciated

Hi Laurelle,

Not totally sure that I follow you but try,
InsertNameDefine then click on "timevalue"
then click Delete and OK out.

I'm not sure how it's stopping you from using defined names, but you can delete
a name via:

Insert|Name|define
select the name to delete
and click ok

(xl2003 menus)

I have a list of defined name called CSA. Up untill this morning all I
needed to do was put =CSA in a cell and the name appeared and then extended
down column as necessary. Now its says #VALUE!...
How do I not have a specific function in the Name Box i.e. timevalue, as I
am sure that this is what is causing the problem

Is CSA a single cell?
If yes, what's in that cell?

If no, how is CSA defined?
How are you entering the formula? What's the address of the cell(s) getting the
formula?
