Named range error

I keep getting an error message saying 'a formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references. Verify that your formulas contain a valid path, work book, range name and cell reference.'

I search the workbook for '#REF!' and have cleared all of these. Some tabs were deleted which is why I think this may be a range name issue but im not sure how to find the error?

Thanks

RE: named range error

Hi Raani

Thanks for getting in touch. In can be difficult tracking down that rogue formula. Let the Go To window help you out.

Whilst in your workbook press CTRL G. This will bring up the Go To dialogue. Click on the Special button and choose Formulas. If you uncheck everything except Errors, clicking OK will show you where the errors are in your workbook.

Kind regards

RE: named range error

Hi Gary,

I tried this and it says 'No cells were found' but when I try saving it the same message comes up.

Thanks

I've just seen it's Excel 2007 and that this may be the reason:
