reference cell
I have typed a value (1500) into cell A5. I have typed a simple formula in
another cell (B5). The formula was =A5*2. When I then changed the value in A5 to 1000 the value in B5 didn't change. Why is this? I have just started using Vista and used to do a lot of formulas before and never had this problem. How do I solve it? |

Given that it calculated correctly when you first entered the formula this is
a longshot but try:- Tools|Options|calculation and make sure it's set to automatic. Mike "Susie" wrote: I have typed a value (1500) into cell A5. I have typed a simple formula in another cell (B5).

Hi,
Do the following: 1. On the Tools menu, click Options 2. Click the calculation Tab. 3. Under Calculation, click to select the automatic check box. 4. Click OK Note: After completing the above procedure, if you click and the drag the selected cell handle below, all other cell will have the relative reference to its value in the adjacent cell. Which means, if enter a value to the left of the each refernced cell the value will have the corresponding product computed. Challa Prabhu "Susie" wrote: I have typed a value (1500) into cell A5.
