    Error Message on Cell References, Range Names, Defined Names, etc.

    Everytime I go to save my workbook I get an error message:

    We found a problem with one or more formula references in this worksheet.
    Check that cell references, range names, defined names and links to other workbooks in your formulas are correct.

    I error checked the entire workbook and nothing comes up and I did a find on external links and nothing. Any suggestions on locating the errors?

    Hi,

    These can sometimes take a while to track down. See this general article:

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/o...a-d24309886a46

    Have you checked whether any range names contain errors.

    One approach I often take is to delete half the sheets and then try to save a copy to see if the problem has disappeared. If it has then you know the problem was in the sheets you deleted so start again and delete half of the sheets you deleted before and test again. Repeating this binary deletion process will eventually reduce down to one sheet. Then if the problem still exists repeat the process but deleting half the rows and testing iteratively until you've eliminated all but one row, then delete half the columns and test...etc.

    I finally found it, turns out that one my dynamic charts had a 0 in it and excel didn't like that. Thanks for help!
