Even I have used Excel 2002 for quite a while and I have never experienced this issue anyday.

I guess you've never tried to evaluate the right (or wrong!) sort of formula then... ;)

Yeah, that could be a possibility because I use a different software to evaluate complex arrays over large ranges. But this sounds strange overall and I have never heard of Excel getting crashed just by evaluating an array formula yet from any of my friends using Excel over these years.

If you think he is, who I know he is, he is. Caught my attention last weekend. Welcome, Biff! :biggrin:

I usually use F9 or the Function Wizard. These both have unique issues, F9 often requires you to drastically reduce the Range in question. And on occasion, I've seen the Function Wizard return the correct result, while Excel will not...
