• Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 2.x, 3.0, 4.0
• Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, versions 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 4.0
• Microsoft Excel for OS/2, versions 2.2 and 3.0

SUMMARY

In a Microsoft Excel database, computed criteria return incorrect results if a field name is entered above the formula in the criteria range.

When using computed criteria, do not use a field name in the cell above the computed formula in the criteria range. Other text, usually a short description of the formula, should be entered in this cell instead.

Additional query words: 2.1 2.10 2.10c 2.2 2.20 2.21 3.0
