    <p>I've run into something I'm guessing is a nasty bug in Excel, but not sure.</p> <p>Strangely enough, I've never seen this before, despite 10 years developing in VBA for Excel. Works the same way in Excel 2010 and 2013 for PC.</p> <p>How to reproduce:</p> <ol> <li>New Workbook.</li> <li>Add a couple of column headers (Column 1-6) in cells a1:f1</li> <li>Add a few values (at least 2 different values) in the first column ("A" or "B") in cells a2:a8</li> <li>Add a filter to row 1 and select an item from the filter in Col A</li> <li>Hide column C</li> <li><p>Run the following macro:</p> <pre><code>Public Sub test() Dim rng As Range Dim v As Variant Dim i As Long i = 1 ReDim v(1 To i, 1 To 6) v(1, 1) = "x" v(1, 2) = "x1" v(1, 3) = "x2" v(1, 4) = "x3" v(1, 5) = "x4" v(1, 6) = "x5" Set rng = Sheet1.Range("A9:F9") If i = 2 Then v(2, 1) = "y" v(2, 2) = "y1" v(2, 3) = "y2" v(2, 4) = "y3" v(2, 5) = "y4" v(2, 6) = "y5" Set rng = Sheet1.Range("A9:F10") End If rng.Value = v End Sub </code></pre></li> </ol> <p>What now happens is the following, depending on the value of i.</p> <p>i=1:</p> <pre><code>A9="x" B9="x1" C9=unchanged D9:F9="x" </code></pre> <p>i=2:</p> <pre><code>A9="x" B9="x1" C9=unchanged D9="x" E9="x3" F9="#VALUE" </code></pre> <p>(row 10 is then similar to 9 but with "y" instead)</p> <p>i=1 at least seems to repeat the first value after the first hidden column. For i=2 I have no idea what it's doing.</p> <p>From my point of view this looks <strong><em>incredibly</em></strong> buggy.</p>

    2. COYeah, I guess I missed a few other specific details I didn't think matter. The error seems to not appear if the filter contains the new cells, so the filter needs to be added first.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
