HELP! Unknown range
 

Hi, I'm not sure if someone can help me.

I have this formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(VLOOKUP($W8,actuals,X$6,FALSE)),(VLOO KUP($W8,actuals,X
$6,FALSE)),0)

The problem is that I dont know where the "acutals" are. I have
inherrieted this spreadsheet from someone who is non-contactable, and
I cannot find where the actuals are. I have loooked in the "Insert"
"Name" area and cannot find anything called "actuals" even though it
exists on the drop down box.

This is fairly urgent.... can someone please help?

Thanks

When you select the range from the dropdown box, it will go to that range and
highlight it. Are there hidden sheets?

Hi

Right click on any sheet tab and choose View Code.
This will invoke the VB editor.
If the Immediate window is not visible, type Control+G to invoke it.
In the Immediate window, type
names("actuals").visible=true
and hit Enter.

Now go to InsertNamesDefine and see if it shows up in the list.
Your formula
=IF(ISNUMBER(VLOOKUP($W8,actuals,X$6,FALSE)),(VLOO KUP($W8,actuals,X
$6,FALSE)),0)

could run quicker if you used
=IF(COUNTIF(actuals,$W$8),(VLOOKUP($W8,actuals,X$6 ,FALSE)),0)
provided it is the presence of W8 that could be the problem, rather than
the value offset X6 columns from the W8 value.
