    Cannot eliminate Value Error

    Hello, I am trying to update a person's finances for this past year. She sent me a workbook that has two sheets with macros. The first sheet is linked to the 2nd. When a name and number is typed into the first sheet it automatically shows up on the 2nd.

    My problem is, no matter what number I change on the first sheet under amount, the Total cell on the 2nd sheet gives me the #Value error. I have not changed anything, have not deleted any formulas but no matter what I do, that value error always shows up. I know very little about excel but I thought I knew enough to be able to update this book for her. Is there a special way I should be inputting the numbers on the first sheet so that the value error will show the running total instead of an error?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think we'd need to see the workbook to help. Can you remove the sensitive date (but include at least some dummy data) and post the workbook?

    This is the formula for the Value error =SUBTOTAL(109,$D$5:$D$30000)

    Here is a copy of the report with the names and such removed. The Error is on page two but is generated when I change a number on page 1.

    What version of Excel are you running?

    The 109 code doesn't work on earlier than 2003.

    Try instead: =SUBTOTAL(9,$D$5:$D$30000)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
