Default Is Excel unreliable ?


Here is the function I am using. It is used in sheet 2 and references
cells in sheet 1. It is used twice in two adjacent cells and the results
are then summed in a third adjacent cell. In a forth adjacent cell the
figure in the third adjacent cell is added to another figure taken from
the immediately preceding row in the forth adjacent cell.


Public Function sumValues(strName As String, strType As String) As Currency

Dim intI As Integer
Dim intJ As Integer
Dim curC As Currency

Select Case strType
Case "D"
intJ = 7
Case "C"
intJ = 8
End Select

With Sheet1
For intI = 1 To 10000
If .Cells(intI, 3) = strName Then
curC = curC + .Cells(intI, intJ)
End If
Next
End With

sumValues = curC

End Function

I don't understand what you mean by 'drag down the calculated cell'

Also could we see the particular formula that Excel is getting wrong.

I'm not aware that this is a general problem but others may differ.

Pressing F9 / Shift+F9 doesn't update my calculated cells reliably, i..e.
it just doesn't do it or gives wrongs answers. The only way to get the
right answers is to drag down the calculated cells again and then press
F9
/ Shift+F9. Before going into more detail I just wanted to know if I am
encountering a common problem ?
