Your matrix is from column A to column CZ which correspond to columns 1 to 104.

The formula part which calculates the column is COLUMN(DA1) which corresponds to column 105.

Can you spot the problem?

THANK YOU so much - I cannot believe I missed that - after looking at it for about 2 hours !!! - LOL...

I have the same formula on multiple tabs...and the data on those arrays goes to CJ - so I thought CZ would have been fine (when I BLINDLY copies and pasted the formula) - not even realizing the data on the array that I am currently working on goes to column "HV"...AGAIN VERY MUCH APPRECIATED - my stress level as been reduced - all the best !!!!!
