Default formulas not updating


Hi All,

I've exported a file and the numbers were stored as text, so I changed
the formatting to be some general, accounting, numeric depending on the
area.

The problem is, when i copy formulas, they don't update as normal.
E.g. when I add in a column, normally the formulas (=average) update
to include the new column. Instead, I get a little green triangle in
the cell, which gives me the option to update the formula. How can i
get Excel to automatically update everywhere in the sheet?

Also, when I simply copy stuff across (drag formula from row c across
rows d,e,f), the formula updates but I get a green triangle again tell
me "inconsistent formula".

I have tried changing all the formatting for the whole sheet. The
sheet has a lot of stuff in it so i'd rather not have to edit
individual cells.

I've checked tools/options and calculation is set to auto.

Any help anyone can offer would be great....

Cheers,
John
