SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, you may experience the following problems when you use a worksheet function that is included in the Analysis ToolPak add-in:
- You receive the #NAME error value.
-or-
- The function you want to use is not available in the Function Wizard.
CAUSE
The Analysis ToolPak is not always automatically loaded when you start Microsoft Excel.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, click Add-Ins on the Tools menu, and click to select the Analysis ToolPak check box or the Analysis ToolPak - VBA check box.
If the Analysis ToolPak is not available in the Add-Ins dialog box, you may need to run the Setup program and reinstall the add-ins.
Note that for the change to take effect, you need to update each formula that references the add-in. To do this, use either of the following methods.
Method 1: Force Individual Formulas to Update
To force an individual formula to update, follow these steps:
- Select a cell that contains the error.
- Press F2, and then press ENTER.
Repeat these steps for any other formulas that have not been updated.
Method 2: Force Formula Updating by Replacing Equal Signs
To force all formulas to update, follow these steps:
- On the Edit menu, click Replace.
- Type = in the Find what box.
- Type = in the Replace with box.
- Click Replace All.
NOTE: This forces all formulas in the active worksheet and dependent formulas in other worksheets to recalculate.
