All the best everyone.

I have a question regarding the disadvantages of the Global definition. I know that it can�t be used when extracting data from Excel component, but cannot find any additional disadvantages.

The one major advantage is that results can be displayed above the calculated area, which is very useful when producing formal documents.

Regards

Mike

I never use GLOBAL because most often I re-use equations or re-define variables in a worksheet. If you are doing one calculation in a sheet then using GLOBAL may not be an issue.

Ok cheers.

The main issue is displaying results above where they have been calculated without manually changing them when an input is changed.

Huh? You listed that as an advantage, so what is the issue?
