Number vs Text
I have a string range1 insted of A1:C1, for instance.
My search cannot be completed because the formula is somehow unable to search for the string, it searchs for the the text "range1", which is really odd. How can link the search to the cell without the ("") in the cell? Thank you, -- FS |

A string referring to a range in a FORMULA will not work. You need to
hightlight the range and name it in the name box (to the left of the formula box) or use insertnamedefinefill in the namein the refers to box type in the range reference. Then =sum(range1) In a macro myrange=range("a1:c1") for each c in myrange do something next -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "felipe_mfds" wrote in message ...

I've already named it and I cannot use the function SUM because the formula
is related to a LOOKUP function. Example: LOOKUP(A1,B1) ; B1 = "range1" range1 = C1:F1 Get it?So I should probably used another function that doesn't change the ranges properties. The question is, which function? Tks -- FS "Don Guillett" wrote: A string referring to a range in a FORMULA will not work.
