    Array formulae stopped working

    Hi is there any reason for an array to stop working. It was all working no problem and then I opened it on a computer whilst still open on another, it came up with read only but even tho I've closed both down the array formulae just doesn't work anymore???

    Cheers

    Dave

    If it was working before, and you didnt change anything, check to see if calcs are st to manual?
    Is the formula still surrounded by {} if not, re-enter using CTRL SHIFT ENTER

    If nothing changes, a formula wont just "decide" to not work any more.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Hi yea it's still got the curly brackets, I've checked the formulae against an older version of the doc which works and they're identical. I can't attach the doc as it's got confidential info. The only thing was I had another excel doc open that had a circular error, if that makes any difference.

    The circ ref might make a diff if the files were all still open, but try closing excel and re-opening, see if that helps.

    Did you check to see if calcs were set to manual?

    Hi Yea the're on automatic. So it works but only if it doesn't update the values that are linked to other worksheet. As soon as I update the values it changes from #NUM! to #N/A

    Some excel functions/links will only work on open workbooks
