vba #REF! error

[dulitul]

Hi guys,


I have got the following problem. I have a sheet "calculations" that uses references from another sheet "calendar". In the calculations sheet I have got formulas - =COUNTIF(Calendar!$B4:$AF4,"P"), =COUNTIF(Calendar!$B5:$AF5,"U") and so on. In other words, I use some references from the calendar sheet. I have got a userform with delete button which deletes the entire row in the calendar sheet and also the same row in the calculations sheet. However, the row above the deleted one in the calculations sheet gets distorted with #REF! error. The references are lost for some reason. This all is done automatically by a macro. I have read some articles about the indirect function that may help. However, I am not quite sure how to use it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, dulitul,

too little input from your side for me to be of any help as you do not indicate how the formulas look like which loose their references. IŽd expected this question to be a Forumla/Function one opposite to this being asked in VBA/Macros.

Ciao,
Holger

Hi,

Sorry about the confusion. I think I found the right answer and it is to use the indirect function like this- =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Calendar!$B4:$AF4"),"P"). However,
now I have encountered another problem with autofilling the cells. When I paste the formula and try to autofill the references do not increment automatically. In other words =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Calendar!$B4:$AF4"),"P") does not become =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Calendar!$B5:$AF5"),"P") and so on. Any ideas how to solve it? The option calcuate automatically is on.
