I set excel so that each column heading has drop down buttons enabling me to
sort out entries (rows) by what is entered in any cell. Now my autosum button
is disabled. I can still make formulas step by step. I don't remember how i
set it up that way, or I'd just turn it off while trying to enter
formulas.....

TIA

Go to Data Filter uncheck Auto filter. This will remove the drop
down boxes.
