#Ref! Returned
John
I don't see any obvous problem with your formula. To troubleshoot those kinds of problems in messy formulas they can be calculated in parts. A lot of people don't know this, but you can highlight on the formula bar, only one of your nested functions or a rangename, then hit F9 and it will calculate only the highlighted part of your formula. For example, higlight match(d9,employeenames, 0), then hit F9 and see if you get a result or an error. Use that method to systematically rule out each part of your formula. Once you find out which embedded function is causing the error the problem will be obvious to you, maybe. Good luck. Ken Norfolk, Va |

#Ref! Returned
Thanks Ken, I wasn't aware of the F9 function, I received a fix from Frank
but am getting the same error again on Address4i.e. #Ref! The fix was to place the following code within the Named Range on Address 1 =OFFSET(Database!$H$2,0,0,SUMPRODUCT(MAX((Database !$H1:$H2000<"")*(ROW(Data base!$H1:$H2000)))),1) I substituted Column numbers for the Range Name for Address4 as below, but the #Ref! appears despite it being the same logic as above - which I'm not quite sure what the above actuallu does. It appears to set the range down as far as the last populated cell + 1. Perhaps it should relate the length of the range name area to the Employee Name, as if there is no Employee Name, there can't be any address either, but not sure how do do that =OFFSET(Database!$K$2,0,0,SUMPRODUCT(MAX((Database !$K1:$K2000<"")*(ROW(Data base!$K1:$K2000)))),1) So I'm lost "KRCowen" wrote in message ...
