Forgive me, maybe this is just obvious, I've only recently discovered the Name Manager. I avoided upgrading to the ribboned version of Excel as long as possible but got drug kicking and screaming into it...

In the Name Manager, I see a #Ref! error for a named range (A name I never created BTW) called "MB7_Data_72". This particular query was deleted from the report a LONG time ago. I can't say about the named range, because I don't recall ever creating any such named range, and if you look under Data Connections, it isn't there anymore.

How do I get rid of it? How do I Find it? It says it's on the Projected Costs sheet, but it doesn't say where.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Nevermind, I just deleted most of the sheet in a hope of deleting that range, and it worked, and I still have the memory issue, so that actually wasn't the underlying problem. It was a red herring. If anyone knows a way to do a memory dump that would be great to know. Everything works fine until I get to a certain point in my macro, It LETS me get to that point every time and everything looks great, but then I can't even copy or paste a single cell because I've maxed my resources. (It's a really bad report I did back when I didn't know what I was doing at all) And if I could just purge the memory it would be cool.
