Labels in formula
I have a two labelled columns and 'labels in formula' activated. In the third
column i have a formula involving the labels. It works like a charm in the first row. However when I copy the formula down to second or third additional rows of the third column, it recognises only the first row as the labelled value. Can some one please help? |

Labels in formula
Here is the data and the formulas
BDate BRate BAmt SDate SAmt BRt BDt 01-01-2008 5 25 5 01-01-2008 01-02-2008 14 5 01-01-2008 01-03-2008 16 5 01-01-2008 01-04-2008 4 16 4 01-01-2008 01-07-2008 20 4 01-01-2008 The last two columns are formulas: BRt= IF(BAmt0,BRate,F25) BDt= IF(BAmt0,BDate,G26) I seem to get the BRt figure right but not the BDt figure. I hope you can figure out the data because it is not getting aligned. Just in case, first and fourth row, the fourth and fifth cells are blank. the other rows, first three cells are blank.

Hi,
Microsoft has taken the Lables in Formulas option out of 2007 and for good reason, there are too many problems with it. Use range names instead. In your case select all the data and the titles at the tops of the columns and choose Insert, Name, Create. Check only the Top row option and click OK. Now you should be able to use those name in formula without problems. I put the table in the range A1:G6. Both formulas worked just fine. But I don't know what the references to G26 and F25 are all about, but with the data you supplied it didn't matter. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "a m spock" wrote: Here is the data and the formulas BDate BRate BAmt SDate SAmt BRt BDt 01-01-2008 5 25 5 01-01-2008 01-02-2008 14 5 01-01-2008 01-03-2008 16 5 01-01-2008 01-04-2008 4 16 4 01-01-2008 01-07-2008 20 4 01-01-2008 The last two columns are formulas: BRt= IF(BAmt0,BRate,F25) BDt= IF(BAmt0,BDate,G26) I seem to get the BRt figure right but not the BDt figure.

many thanks.
the reference g25 is to previous row same column, i.e. if corresp BAmt is <=0, the BRt or BDt is carried forward. This table is constantly expanding with new BUY or SELL transactions. How do I make the Range Name dynamic so that data entered below the last row is automatically added to the named range. This was my reason for using 'labels'.

How do I make the Range Name dynamic so
that data entered below the last row is automatically added to the named range. Use a dynamic range.
