    Substitute Formula - Name Error

    Hi folks,

    the substitute formula was working fine untill I hit double columns

    This works fine

    =SUBSTITUTE(A,"X", B)

    this gives a name error

    =SUBSTITUTE(AB,"X", AA)

    any ideas what changed
    thanks
    sl

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Haha, so "AB" is not a cell nor is AA.

    In Cell AC2 use the following.
