Named Range Issue
Looking to see if someone can help point me in the right direction with
determining why my spreadsheet (VERY large with a lot of ranges, variables) is acting up. Up until recently the model worked perfect, recently I added some model protection and user sign-on requirements, but dont have any conflicts Im can see. The issue: Some of my ranges are not updating, its like the model is not recalculating or updating the ranges after each use. The user selects a state from a dropdown box, the value 1 = Alabama, 2 = Arkansas, and so on, the value is assigned to a named range, which drives pivot tables, the coping of other ranges and so on. While doing some debugging, I noticed that the named ranges are keeping the previous value. Thanks for any help |

My standard list. Do look at 4 (don't skip the rest).
-- Kind regards, Niek Otten Cells not calculating (correctly) Most frequent causes: 1. Calculation is set to Automatic. This may have happened unintentionally, for example by opening another workbook first. Calculation is an Excel-wide setting; the first workbook opened determines the calculation mode, which then applies to all open workbooks and workbooks that are opened later in that instance of Excel. It can be changed manually (again, for all open workbooks): ToolsOptionsCalculation tab, check Automatic. 2. There are User Defined Functions (UDFs) which access cells directly from within the function, that is, not via the argument list. Then Excel is not aware of the need of recalculation. You can include Application.Volatile in the function, but there is no guarantee this will always calculate cells in the correct sequence in all (future) versions of Excel. Really the best way is to include all precedent cells in the argument list. 3. Excel version 5.0a (yes, very, very old!) has serious recalculation bugs, Excel 97 absolutely needs Service Pack 2 (SP2) to calculate correctly. 4. Very, very rarely, Excel's dependency tree gets messed up. One way to rebuild it is to find and replace all "=" by "=", for all sheets.

Okay, Niek, spill the beans. Why didn't the text of your response get
truncated into short lines as does everyone else's? <G Bob "Niek Otten" wrote in message ... My standard list.

Named Range Issue
Hi Bob,
I wish I knew! It does here. I've been struggling with template replies for some time now. If I use Word, I get double spaced lines, maybe you don't? If I paste to Excel and paste from there into OE, it looks fine here (of course I tested a private reply first!) Do you ever use pre-cooked replies and if so, how? -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... Okay, Niek, spill the beans.

Hi Niek,
No, I just use the bog-standard reply mechanism (excuse my gutter English). I was hoping you had the solution, because we get so many problems with wrap-around in code that it would solve.
