Hi Everyone

Hope someone can help with this problem - I have created a very simple spreadsheet in Excel 2003 there are 4 columns

A = Code No
B = Qty
C = Price per 100
D = Value

at the bottom of column D there is a grand total. The spreadsheet works fine on my computer however when I email it to the firm that needs it the total is not shown in the screen or printout. Only when they hover the mouse over does the total appear.

I would be grateful if anyone can suggest possible causes for this and a remedy. I thought the problem may be that they are using an earlier version of Excel I have emailed them requesting to know which version of Excel they are using - still awaiting a reply.

Any help would be most gratefully received
Yours in Anticipation

Hi

What do they see in the cells, prior to hovering with the mouse?
If it is a series of #####, then it sounds as though the column is not wide
enough to display the result.

Hover the mouse over the intersection of column D and E, and double click
and it will widen to accommodate the largest value within column D.
