Hello

I have a range with over 150,000 cells in a column, each containing a formula. I have a summation formula at the bottom but it is showing #VALUE!.

How do I quickly find the formula that is causing the error without scrolling through every page?

You could try sorting the data.
Or Data, Filter.
Or Edit, Find and Replace, to search for #VALUE entries (specify that you are looking in VALUES).

Thanks. I ended up sorting the data that that was not what I was wanting. I run across this problem a lot and wanted a faster method.

Revision 9:30 a.m. : I just tried the Ctrl+F (Find) and searched for #Value in values. That worked great. Thanks!
