Default pasting formula doesn't work

not sure how to get this to work.
I am running into the same problem and I have tried to click on auto or
manual under tools/ options/ calc...

I use excel all the time & have not encountered this before except when
copying and pasting formula related to pivot table data.

I copy a cell with a formula, when I paste it the formula is correct but the
result isn't, it just returns the value of the copied cell so for example
a1/b1 = 10.35 the formula will show as a2/b2 but the result will still be
10.35 even 'though it should be, for example, 24

Any ideas?
