Default Why isn't Excel dragging the right value?

Frank - Even our IT tech couldn't help me with this problem. Thanks so much!

If anyone is still out there - can you tell me why it changed and how never,
ever to let it do so again?

I am using SUMIF and have been able to drag the formula down the column and the right values pop up. Now, when I drag, the column is filled with the value in the first cell in the column. After dragging, I can double click the cells or hit F2 (to edit) then hit enter and the correct value will pop up.

Once I was able to fix the problem by just restarting my computer but not anymore. I noticed this is happening with other (maybe all) formulas so every time I update, I have to go to every cell with a formula and hit F2 then Enter to make sure the right value is in every cell - very annoying.

I wondered if this might be some quirky thing that happens after I run my macro (it turns columns of numbers into text format). Or maybe it's some weird setting that I accidentally set - one that says "don't update a cell with a formula until the person clicks on it to indicate that they want the correct value in this cell."

I don't know, I'm all out of ideas!
