Default one row won't calculate

The green triangles indicate the cells were changed, not that they have
formulas. If you click on any Cell in columns D, E, or F. You wil lsee the
formulas in the Fx() box at the top of the worksheet. To copy the formulas:

1) find a row with the formulas. Then highlight Columns D, E, and F and
Copy (Cntl - C).

2) Then go to a row without formulas and right click on Column D. Select
PasteSpecial and choose formulas. Then press OK.

unfortunately it didn't work.
I dont' know if this helps, but the gradebook has several blank rows that
appear (to me anyway) to have the green triangles in them that they already
have the formulas

Rick: Inserting Rows will not copy the formula. The best way of adding row
is as follows:

1) Insert Row like you normally would do by highlighting row and then Insert.
2) Copy a row with formulas then go to PasteSpecial and Select formulas.

A 2nd method is to highlight a Row with formulas and Copy. Then right click
on the highlighted row and select Insert Copied Cells.

Thanks to all of you for the quick posts. I forgot to mention I am using 2003
I admittedly know nothing about excel. I just downloaded the gradebook and
it worked great. So I'm not sure how to send you the formulas you asked
about.
The data i enter is in points. you add an assignment and give it the points
you can get. The spreadsheet converts it to the percentage and a letter
grade. I think I may have entered the grade points at the beginning (0-60 is
an F for example)
It has worked great, both entering grades and changing them.
It's this one student for which it doesn't calculate.
I downloaded it from:

Thanks!!!

Why wouldn't people download files from a trusted microsoft webpage????

Well since many of the regulars probably won't go to MS download site and
download this
file maybe you can explain what formulas (I assume it is a lookup formula)
you are using and what does not work?
First thing I would check is if the new student's numbers are in fact text.

I use a grade book which I downloaded from the Microsoft site. It works
great, except when I had to add a new student. The grades do not
calculate
like in the other rows of students. I tried changing the grades of the
other students to make sure it is calculating correctly, and it does. It
is
only for this new student. I also tried entering the grade directly in
the
row, and then into the formula bar, all to no avail.
Any ideas?
