Excel Formula Error
I looked physically looked there (as its one of the groups I monitor) and
didn't see it, so I did a Google search which didn't show the misc group either... instead, it showed the group I posted. I'm not sure why I missed it in the misc group (it's there now), but didn't Google used to be much quicker about getting things in its archive than it seems to do now?

It looks like he posted it earlier today in a newsgroup named... microsoft.public.excel.crashesgpfs (which I never heard of before) under the Subject line "Arrays in Excel", but Google didn't show him getting an answer there that I can see.

Alternatively, date, subject and author information? Using Google Groups search for author "griffey5", the only other similar posting that I could find was under m.p.e.crashesgpfs(!). And I found no responses there. (No surprise!) However, I know that not everything posted to MS "discussion groups" find their way into Google Groups (sigh). |

I'm not sure why I missed it in the misc group (it's there now), but didn't Google used to be much quicker about getting things in its archive than it seems to do now? Perhaps. But I don't think it's a question of how quickly Google Groups gets things into its archive. I have used GG for a few years now, and lately, it seems to have a lot of consistency problems -- articles not found in searches; articles found in the index, but not readable; articles that come and go. For newly posted articles, some of those anomalies could be explained as internal servers being out of sync. But I suspect the more general explanation is that GG is either having trouble with its in internal network of servers, or its networked application have become less tolerant of errors or delays. That conclusion is consistent with another observation that is happening more often: articles posted in GG do not appear in GG, sometimes ever, but usually not for a very long time. Yet they do appear (sometimes) first in MS Discussion Groups. I believe that can only be explained by problems in GG's internal network, being it slowness or unreliability. BTW, there has always been a problem with GG seeing articles that were originally posted in MS Discussion Groups -- at least, the base article of a thread. Frequently, I never see the base article in GG, only the replies; but some base articles do come through. Moreover, GG usually shows replies that were posted in MSDG; I can only remember seeing problems with base articles. I don't know if GG or MSDG is at fault. |

Excel Formula Error
Tried removing the parenthesis and it did not work as a number. Also tried

Perhaps you've got spaces or other invisible characters in your text string.
