Unable to record macro
 
When recording a macro an 'Unable to record' message appears when I try to
record a formula. Here is the formula that seems to cause the problem:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(Cont!$C77,Purchases!$BM$24:$BM$2000 ,0)),"",IF(INDEX(Purchases!Y$24:Y$2000,MATCH(Cont! $C77,Purchases!$BM$24:$BM$2000,0))="UpdateCC",INDE X(Purchases!$AP$24:$AP$2000,MATCH(Cont$C77,Purchas es!$BM$24:$BM$2000,0)),""))

Anyone know why this should happen?

Thanking you in advance.

Hi PC

Sorry that is a typo error, even with the correction the error message still
appears.

I get an error in the formula

in the last MATCH you have "Cont$C77" it should be Cont!$C77

Possibly that is the problem

I am pleased to say that the solution to the problem turns out to be a
security issue. The workbook is password protected, remove the protection
and the macro will record.

Thanks for your help nevertheless.

Unfortunately I can't be much help to you Pat. It worked fine when I

c&p'd
the formula while using the recorder and it worked when I tried a test

run.

Sorry
