Post ID Timestamp Content User
764 1998-11-09 23:21:00 I have two columns labelled COST and RATES. I want to define a new name called RESULT that multiplies COST by RATES.

Under Insert, Name, Define for RESULT, in the 'refer to:' box I type =COST*RATE.

When I put the formula =RESULT into the sheet, I get #NUM as the result.

(Note: If I label individual cells, rather than entire columns, things work.)

Help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Martin
