I have a combo box (Supertypes) that contains the values in the top row of the following chart. The Chart's located from CX20 to DD40. I need to copy the values corresponding to the Supertype to a separate column to use as values in a second combo box (Equipment Types).

For some reason, I can't do anything wih this data. For example, if TRUCKS is in CB3, and
I use
=HLOOKUP($CB$3,CX20:DD20,2), I'd expect to get GPMST - but I get #REF.

Can you please tell me why, and what I need to do to prevent this?

Thanks,
Jim Berglund

Addendum: If I copy and paste the values into another region, I can do what I want. So... what's going on???
