Is there a virus out there that is affecting excel spreadsheets
Was adding my spreadsheets and the numbers would not add up. So I shut my
computer down and ran a norton anti virus program. It seemed to correct the problem for now but can someone advise me if there is a virus out there that is affecting the spreadsheet programs Thanks Jean |

Seems more likely that you had a workbook open in which Calculation was set
to manual. If it happens again try pressing F9. best wishes Bernard "jean" wrote in message ... Was adding my spreadsheets and the numbers would not add up.

Just a simple shut-down and re-boot will fix many common computer problems that are nothing to do with a virus, just related to things getting corrupted over a days use, or memory leak, or ..... etc etc etc..

In addition to the goodness that follows a clean reboot (like a
cleansing spring rain, without the electrical shorts), was calculation turned to manual before the shutdown? That'll prevent things from adding up. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ jean wrote: Was adding my spreadsheets and the numbers would not add up.
