Hi everybody,
Here is my problem: I put data (numbers) in book1, sheet1, cells A1:A10. book1 is closed. I create a name (toto) in book2 referencing cells A1:A10 in book1. In book2, If I write =Sum(toto) I get the right result. However, if I write =Sum(indirect(B1)) with cells B1 containing the string "toto", I get an error. NB1: If you insert this last expression with the function wizard you'll see the right result in the wizard, but it changes to an error when you hit the enter key ! NB2: the indirect.ext function of morefunc.xll is ok for single cells, not for a range. |

Sorry, this works for me

The Indirect function was messing up one of my UDF's until
being helped out in this ng, and it was pointed out to me that Indirect is a volatile fuction. Calculates when you might not want it to. Can you relate this to anything else going on in your wb, might not be obvious.
