I created a template for tracking performance measures of employees at my office. Supervisors previously updated all the information manually. The template has a hidden table of vlookup functions to pull performance metrics of a few years worth of pre-named files. It pulls all the data from the existing files fine and gives N/A# for files not yet created. However, now that it is a new month, there is new data to pull. But, when I update the data upon opening the file it still returns N/A#, but only sometimes. This is used in 3 departments. One department didn't pull December, one didn't pull January, and one pulled everything just fine.
The really frustrating thing is when I highlight the cell with the formula that should work, and press ctrl+shft+enter for an array formula, it pulls the correct data.
I need to know why it won't pull the data automatically. My intention is for this spreadsheet to work automatically and through 2014 because of how I pre-named the links in my vlookup. One of the only things that I think might be causing the issue is that the files with the vlookup data are stored on a network drive and the template is stored locally on each desktop. However, I don't know why that would cause an issue when everyone has access to the network drive.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
