The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYThe last paragraph on page 329 in version 4.0 of the "Microsoft Excel User's Guide 1," states that a computed criterion formula must refer to at least one existing database field. This same information is given on page 374 in version 3.0 of the "Microsoft Excel User's Guide." This information is incorrect, a computed criterion formula does not have to refer to a database field. MORE INFORMATION
Examples on page 337 of the version 4.0 "Microsoft Excel User's Guide
1," and page 378 of the version "Microsoft Excel User's Guide"
correctly show that you can use computed criteria without referring to
database fields.
The above two cells should be defined as your criteria range. Even though no database fields are referenced in the formula, the criteria work correctly. REFERENCES
