Default Cannot change a formula


I am using a worksheet that counts the number of days
employees have worked. The worksheet was written by someone else who
have left. I need to change the number of some rows in this formula.


=COUNTIF(D$14:D$160,$V32)+COUNTIF(D$175:D$225,$V31 )+M250+M238

M250 and M238 are the results of another countif formula. When I try
and change the number of the rows to M251 and M 239 the formula no
longer returns a value and I see the formula in the cell on the
worksheet. Also the different values of the rows and columns become
colored. How can I change the formula so it returns the value its
supposed to?

Hi Richard
If you double click on the part of the formula you want to change in the
formula Bar at the top of the page, and then mouse click on the cell location
you want to replace it with, there should be no problem with the running of
the formula.
Also, make sure the formula has the = sign at the beginning of it, otherwise
all you will see is the formula as text.
