    Wrong Data Value Error - Please Help

    These formulas were working fine yesterday and today, no go. I was receiving some correct values, but as soon as I deleted the rows above to make the dummy worksheet, the same wrong data value error appeared for those cells, too. I don't know why they are tied to above cells, which were completely unrelated. The cell values are all formatted as "General." Please help. I have to present the worksheet that I created on Monday and it has decided to go haywire. Thanks in advance. ~Sandy

    Can you post the 'working' book from before the issue occurred.
    Then describe the actions taken that 'breaks' it ?

    Re: Wrong Data Value Error - Please Help

    I attached what the workbook looked like before I deleted the rows above the table containing the formulas (on Prep Info Worksheet). The #Value! returns appear if you delete any of the rows above the table, but the thing is, on Rows 18, 19 and 32-38, this error occurred before I deleted anything. While I was making the dummy worksheet, I just happened to discover that more of the #Value cells appeared as I deleted the rows above the table. I am so confused. I hope that you can help.

    Thanks,
    Sandy

    The formula doesn't make any sense at all.

    What is the formula supposed to be doing?

    Is this what you're actually trying to do

    In B18 on the Prep Info Sheet
    =IF('Rehydration Template'!A5="","",'Rehydration Template'!A5)
    Filled down/right

    Yes, that works perfectly. I don't know what happened. Everything has been working fine for the past few weeks until today. At one time, I had some Index and Match formulas entered in those cells, but decided that they slowed the workbook down too much. I modified the formulas, but apparently didn't do it correctly. I am by no means an Excel guru. Thanks for your help!

    Glad to help, thanks for the feedback.

    FYI, just a tip.
    Don't DELETE rows if it can be helped.
    Instead, just use CLEARCONTENTS on the rows, then paste new data onto them.

    Deleting rows messes up formulas that refer to them.
