Default Fill down formula not cell content

This is really frustrating! When I use ctrl D to fill a formula down several
rows, the formula does NOT repeat - only the value of the originial cell is
filling down. It ahs always worked correctly in the past. I'm sure this is
a simple setting, but I have tried looking for it for about an hour on the
web and elsewhere. Please help! I am using Excel 2003.

Thanks,

Kevin

You can copy the cell and past it as a formula

Byron:

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't have use of the Paste Special for
some reason. Anyone other ideas? Typing these 300 rows would take
forever..... I did discover I had a macro within another unopened workbook.
I deleted the workbook and still have the same problem. Do macros even work
globally?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin

Perhaps your calculation setting has altered.
