Excel: vlookup - Matrix - Name not being a Name

Copper Contributor

Hi all,

 

I have the following formula:

VLOOKUP(E36,Program_Comments,78,FALSE)

 

The term "Program_Comments" seems to refer to 2 adjacent cells in the same row, if I click on it.

But "Program_Comments" is NOT a name (= not contained in list of Name Manager).

 

What can it be then?

 

See attached file. The whole formula is in cell H8 (tab "Outlook")

 

Kind regards,

Joachim

It has the same name, but I replaced it. You can now open it without an error message. (for the analysis of the formula links are not needed anyway.)
