Default Error problem

So, if you are getting #N/A as an answer, you have #N/A in at least one of
the cells referenced in your formula. The table icon means, as help told
you, "that the cell "is referenced by a cell on another worksheet or
workbook". ". You therefore need to go to the worksheet named "Tables", and
on that sheet you need to look in the range C2:E2958, as it is in that range
that you have at least one cell containing the N/A error.

You can find which row(s) the error is in by putting the formula
=ISNA(SUM(C2:E2)) in a spare cell in row 2, and copying down, and similarly
you can find out which column(s) by putting =ISNA(SUM(C2:C2958)) in a spare
cell in column C, and copying across.

This is exactly what is in the cell:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Tables!$C$2:$C$2958=$A4),--(Tables!$D$2:$D$2958=$B4),--(Tables!$E$2:$E$2958="Yes"))

Are you sure that the formula you posted is what was used in the cell?

Your formula doesn't really look like:
=table(x1,y1)
does it?

I have been going over and over all of the data and I can't find
anything. I
tried the help function in excel and I learned that when I see "a black
arrow
points from the selected cell to a worksheet icon" that the cell "is
referenced by a cell on another worksheet or workbook". I checked and
there
are no references. I deleted all the references in the Name Manager
also.

Did you look for errors in any of those ranges?

No hidden rows and no links to other tables, which was my first
suspision

Look for error(s) in one (or all) of those ranges.

Remember to look in hidden rows, too.

I have this formular:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Tables!$C$2:$C$2979=$A4),--(Tables!$D$2:$D$2979=$B4),--(Tables!$E$2:$E$2979="Yes"))

but it is showing as an error. Iknow there is no errors in
there but when I
click the Trace Error option I get a little "Table" icon and I
don't know
what that is or what it means.
Any ideas?
