I am using an Index Match formula with named ranges in it.
I have done this many a times before but for some reason, this particular formula setup is not working the way I am expecting.
My named ranges are Dynamic named ranges, using Index Count.

I have a simple range setup as follows:

8 rows & 10 columns, starting at cell A1.

ItemsGroup1Group2Group3Group4Group5Group6Group7Group8Total
Candy
Shoes
Sweaters
Socks
Bags
Glasses
Total

My named ranges are as follows:

Item.Data = $B$2:INDEX($B:$J,COUNTA($A:$A))
Items = $A$2:INDEX($A:$A,COUNTA($A:$A))
Item.Headers = $B$1:$J$1

My formula is:

=INDEX(Item.Data,MATCH("Glasses",Items,0),MATCH("Group5",Item.Headers,0))

I am getting a #REF! error.

I have tried parsing out the individual components and get the correct answers, but when I compile the whole formula, I get the error message.

Any thoughts on what is causing the issue?

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Try
Item.Data = $B$2:INDEX($J:$J,COUNTA($A:$A))
