SYMPTOMS
When you add a histogram from the Analysis Toolpak, you receive application errors, and Microsoft Excel quits unexpectedly.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if your file name is similar to a cell reference, such as &quot;A1 A&quot;. The problem occurs because of the way the Analysis Toolpak handles certain file names.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use an underscore in the file name, such as &quot;A1_A&quot;, or otherwise change the file name so that it does not resemble a cell reference.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
