When selecting multiple columns or rows, IE click on column A, hold and drag
multiple columns, the little box that counts the number of columns, IE 1C,
2C, 3C..., is not there. So when I do a V-Lookup function, and scroll across
the columns I need to use, it doesn't count them for me.

Has anyone else seen or have had this problem?

TIA

It sound like you are talking about the Name Box which is part of the
Formula Bar
Use View and click on Formula Bar
Please come back if I misread your problem

It's right next to the cursor, not in the name box.

Perfect!! That was it. A friend of mine and I were tearing our hair out
trying to find the right option to check to get it back.

Thanx!!!
