Do not use any error-handling functions such as IFERROR to mask the error. To avoid typos in formula names, use the Formula Wizard in Excel. When you start typing a formula name in a cell or the Formula Bar, a list http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18830181/name-error-in-excel-for-vba-function of formulas matching to the words you have entered displays in a dropdown. Once you enter the formula name and the opening parentheses, the Formula Wizard displays the syntax as hover text. You can also use the Function Wizard to avoid the syntactical errors.

If you want to create a new range, you can skip this step. On the Formulas tab, in the Defined Names group, click Define Name, and then click Define Name. Enter a unique name. For the Scope, select if you want the name to be available within the sheet only, or the entire workbook. Enter an optional comment. Click OK. The next part is to add the name in the formula.

So, here's what I got: Code: Function Efficiencys(ProfitList As Range) Dim Winner As Integer Winner = 0 Dim Loser As Integer Loser = 0 For a = 1 To ProfitList.Count If ProfitList.Item(a) > 0 Then Winner = Winner + 1 ElseIf ProfitList.Item(a) < 0 Then Loser = Loser + 1 End If Next Efficiencys = Winner / Loser End Function in Cell H52 =Efficiencys(ProfitNLoss) ProfitNLoss is a named range $G$2-$G$49. I can see it properly defined in the Workbook in the Name Manager. in H52, I get a little green corner dog ear, which once i click on I get the ! yield sign to the left, and the drop down says "Invalid Name Error" At first I thought Efficiency was a reserved word, but that didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks!
