#REF error when processing COUNTIFs formula

[cochrajl]

I have this spreadsheet which combines the contents of six different spreadsheets in a specified location. The way it runs is that I have an Autpen routine on Sheet 1 to combine them once I open this spreadsheet.

Where I'm having trouble at is that in Sheet 2 of this spreadsheet, I have a table to set up to run a COUNTIFS formula based on two different sets of criteria. The formula works great when the spreadsheet is open. But once I close the spreadsheet and reopen it, it sets the values to "#REF" because the contents of the spreadsheet are deleted and rebuilt when I open it again. Is there anyway to get around this?

I'll provide more information if needed.

Don't delete the cells, just clear them.

I did try this, but by not deleting the rows, its adding more rows below the contents each time the macro is run.

It's pretty hard for me to comment about a macro I can't see.

 

[cochrajl]

I may just add a routine that deletes the cells that do not contain data after all the other routines have ran and all the spreadsheets have been combined.
What code would enable me to do that?

Perhaps you could post what you have and we could see about fixing it?
