EDate function + #NAME? error
Hi all,
I have a user with Excel 2000 experiencing a problem with her EDATE function. Presently, she has her formula set to EDATE(+D12(J12*12)). Her cells are formated with a custom date format. She does have the add-in installed. She only seems to get the #NAME? error at the beginning of a new year. She used to have her calculations on automatic, but for now they are on manual. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks! |

If you had a look at EDATE in Excel help you would see that the Analysis Toolpak add-in must be loaded through ToolsAdd-ins.

EDate function + #NAME? error
EDATE(+D12(J12*12))
Your formula returns a #REF! error! Did you mean: =EDATE(D12,J12*12) Biff "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...

Upon re-read of your original post I now see you did mention that. Too much hurry or too little eyesight. Apologies.

Assuming D12 is a cell reference, I don't believe a cell reference can be followed by an "(". +D12, or D12, are not valid NAME's. So I think the first step would be to correct the syntax. --ron |

Did you actually do a COPY/PASTE from her worksheet to your newsgroup message? If you did, then I don't know how it works at all. If you did not, then please correct the transcription error. --ron |
