Cross-sheet References in Formulas Generating #REF Errors

This formula has been working for years, with no changes to the underlying structure. Any ideas?

I see that this eventually resolved itself for other users, but it's been a couple weeks for me.

    Hi @PeteATX

    I hope you're well and safe!

    • Is it an advanced sheet with a lot of cross-sheet references?
    • Have you checked the Reference Manager for clues?

    I hope that helps!

    Have a fantastic week & Happy New Year!

    Best,

  • I'm having the same issue. Cross Sheet references worked as expected for 2 years and suddenly revert to REF# or INVALID DATA. Nothing was changed and the formulas are correct. Re mapping the reference seems to work (but not for all rows) , but then reverts back to REF# upon the next time the sheet is refreshed or logged into.
