    =IF(D3="","",INDEX(Exceptions,MATCH($B$3,Employee_Names,0),MATCH(D3,'Accounting Exceptions'!#REF!,0)))

    Is the number (254) correct at the end of your dynamic named range Exceptions?

    How do I view and edit the dynamic named range? Someone made this formula for me and I am not sure how to locate and edit that.

    thanks,
    Nick

    id still sort out that bit in red first as thats where the errors are coming from
    what is it supposed to do?
    it looks for the value in d3 on 'Accounting Exceptions'! but where?

    Re: Correcting reference error on cell

    I am not seeing that ref error in red, I see this:

    =IF(D3="","",INDEX(Exceptions,MATCH($B$3,Employee_Names,0),MATCH(D3,'Accounting Exceptions'!$C$3:$ZZ$3,0)))

    I found it, on the Names Manager under the Formula's tab. I expanded that to a 1000 to handle future dates.

    It now works.
