    Random #NAME? Error

    Hi Everyone.

    I have a spreadsheet in 2003 which has been working fine for ages. It contains numerous Named cells. Suddenly now when I open the spreadsheet a couple of the cells display #NAME?. When I double click on the cell or recalculate the spreadsheet (F9) it clears and the correct result is shown. I then save the sheet and close it.
    Next time I open it again the #NAME? error is back, but again only in a few of the cells.

    Help!! It's driving me insane that I cannot find a solution to this.

    Maybe post a small sample sheet?

    Re: Random #NAME? Error

    Using a function that is part of the Analysis Toolpak add-in, without the add-in being loaded

    Using a name that does not exist

    Misspelling the name

    Using a label in a formula, without labels being allowed

    Misspelling the name of a function

    Entering text in a formula without enclosing the text in double quotation marks

    Omitting a colon ( : ) in a range reference

    Referencing another sheet not enclosed in single quotation marks.

    I searched the internet and there the reasons that came up. If you already checked these i'll look into it more.
