    Hi @Eric Goldsmith

    I agree that it would be helpful to see a screen capture of your source sheet and formula sheet, but please block out sensitive data. Can you identify what your {TGS Part No} range looks at?

    Keep in mind if there are any errors in that referenced sheet, the error will appear in your current sheet as well. Are you referencing any columns that contain formulas in that {TGS Part No}?

    Hi @Eric Goldsmith

    I hope you're well and safe!

    There seem to be multiple errors in the formula structure.

    Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,
