Hello,
I have a quick question (hopefully)!
Consider the following formula: =IF(NOT(COUNTA('Candidate (1)'!$A$61:$E$91)),"","TRUE")
When I delete the referenced sheet - "Candidate (1)" - (and replace it with a new, clean, "Candidate (1)" sheet), however, the formula turns into this: =IF(NOT(COUNTA(#REF!$A$61:$E$91)),"","TRUE")
The "#REF!" replaces the sheet name, and thereby breaks the (potential) connect to the newly created "Candidate (1)" sheet.
Why do I delete the sheets? In the normal course of using the workbook, I will move the used sheets (candidates that are no longer active) to another workbook (thereby deleting them from the current workbook), and simply create a new (clean) one - with the same name - to replace them.
All that said, is there a way to make the sheet reference absolute so that it won't change when I delete/recreate a new sheet? And if so, could you please type it exactly as it should be (rather than explaining it)? I am not a programmer, and seeing it typed out is much easier form me to understand.
Thanks for your help/expertise in advance!
