WORKDAYS FUNCTION CAUSES #NAME? ERROR WHEN OTHERS USE FILE
I CREATED A WORKSHEET WHICH TAKES A GIVEN DATE, SUBTRACTS A NUMBER OF GIVEN
DAYS AND A STANDARD NUMBER OF DAYS TO OUTPUT AN EARLIER DATE (NOT INCLUDING WEEKENDS) WHEN OTHERS TRY TO USE IT ON DIFFERENT PC'S, SOME GET A "#NAME?" ERROR AND WHILE OTHERS IT WORKS FOR. THE FORMULA I USED IS: =WORKDAY(B4,-C4-3) B4=01/01/07 (DATE FORMAT 3/14/01) C4=1 (NUMBER FORMAT 0 DECIMAL PLACES) |

WORKDAYS FUNCTION CAUSES #NAME? ERROR WHEN OTHERS USE FILE
It is part of the Analysis Toolpak. It sounds that some have it installed,
some don't. Get them to check (ToolsAddins) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "BLOTTY" wrote in message ...

WORKDAYS FUNCTION CAUSES #NAME? ERROR WHEN OTHERS USE FILE
Per Excel Help:
If this function is not available, and returns the #NAME? error, install and load the Analysis ToolPak add-in.<< Evidently, some of your co-workers have the ATP add-in active and some don't. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "BLOTTY" wrote: I CREATED A WORKSHEET WHICH TAKES A GIVEN DATE, SUBTRACTS A NUMBER OF GIVEN DAYS AND A STANDARD NUMBER OF DAYS TO OUTPUT AN EARLIER DATE (NOT INCLUDING WEEKENDS) WHEN OTHERS TRY TO USE IT ON DIFFERENT PC'S, SOME GET A "#NAME?"

WORKDAYS FUNCTION CAUSES #NAME? ERROR WHEN OTHERS USE FILE
Thanks fellas, that was it. Should I tell my IT department to turn on all
these add-ins or could this cause problems???

Blot
Please do not use all caps. Hard to read and is considered "SHOUTING" The Analysis ToolPak add-in has to be loaded through ToolsAdd-ins to prevent the #NAME? error. If you check out Help on WORKDAY function it will tell you that.

No, don't do that. Just the Analysis Toolpak will be fine in 90% of
situations. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "BLOTTY" wrote in message ... Thanks fellas, that was it.

Apologies accepted and explanation is reasonable and understandable with a
newcomer. Welcome to the world of news groups, especially the Excel news groups. Gord On Wed, 12 Jul 2006 16:31:02 -0700, BLOTTY wrote: Sorry about the caps.

I have a question. I had every one on my team install the add ins and it
works fine until one of them filters the data by the auto filters set up then all of the formulas containing workdays/networkdays give a #Name? error. "Bob Phillips" wrote: No, don't do that.
