to their results (ie the formulae will be lost). Text will be unaffected.

I think I'm within my rights to call them "errors", given that the Excel developers called this feature "Error Checking" and the green triangle is defined in the Excel helpfile as an "Error Indicator". But I do like the term you've used there: "inconsistency".

Congrats on the promotion to Super Moderator. By the way, are you going to the summit next month?

Cheers,
