Default Excel Issue with "Average" showing in Status Bar

Hi Natalie,

I have a large file of data, and there are some columns that do not display the average in the status bar, it only shows the count. I right clicked to make sure average is selected, and it is. The columns are all formatted the same way (general), so I cannot for the life of me figure out why I'm having this issue. If I type in the numbers in a separate column it allows me to see the average, but if I copy and paste special- values, it won't work. Anyone had this issue and know why it's not showing in random cells, even though they appear to be exactly the same (formatting, etc.)?


sometimes formatting of text formated cells back to "General" fails.
Select your data and format as "General" and then choose Data =
TextToColumns = Fixed Width = Finish
