trying to edit the reference to A1:E75 in the
referring spreadsheet (Calendar)? As you correctly identify, in
order to do this you must first select all of the array range,
e.g. by using Ctrl+/. Then you can edit the formula either in the
Input Line or _in situ_ in a member cell of the array range after
pressing F2. But in each case you will see that the enclosing
braces - {} - that denote an array formula disappear when you
attempt either edit. You need to reaffirm that you intend an array
formula when you complete the edit by using Ctrl+Shift+Enter
instead of simple Enter - as you must have done to create the
array formula in the first place.(The green Accept tick is also no
use here.)As you probably know, you cannot simply add the required braces
by
typing them yourself; you need to use Ctrl+Shift+Enter.I trust this
helps.Brian BarkerBrian,Many thanks for the lengthy answer and solution. It
worked
perfectly. Regards,Carl W.
