Hi,

I want to insert a formula into columns AP:EE that is referencing a sheet named for example "Category Hiearchy (1)". The numerical value is dependent on the value in column AG.

I am almost there but cannot figure out how the insert <VALUE IN Range AG> into the defined name.

This is the code and I am hitting a snag with the last 2 lines. For arguments sake just have the value 5 in regrng.

Any help appreciated. Please let me know if it is unclear or needs sample data.

Thanks
