OK so this is driving me nuts I just can't see it, this was a test for a job I had hoped to get but that's a fail but for personal satisfaction I want to fix this.
Working formulae
| =COUNTIFS(Data!G2:G539,C174,Data!F2:F539,B174) |
|---|
this works but I have created a named range that covers Data!G1:G529 and called it TRANS_MONTH as it covers transaction months so I created this formulae
=COUNTIFS(TRANS_MONTH,$C174,Data!$F$2:$F$539,$B174)
this returns #VALUE error
Can anyone advise me what the heck I should do, I have tried changing the reference range to exclude the first row that has the label in so it refers to G2:G539 as it was originally included, this made no difference

You messed up with the definition of the named range - as long as it is the same size (number or rows/columns) as the second range, the use of a named range will work fine.

As our colleague, Bernie rightly pointed out, the Ranges in the formula must be the same size
The named range TRANS_MONTH is now from row 1 to 529 so the formula should be
=COUNTIFS(TRANS_MONTH,$C174,Data!$F$1:$F$539,$B174)
