I'm using Data Table to make sensitivity tables for input values. However,
when I use a formula (Y + 0.001) in the input columm the results are not
calculated correctly. When I manually enter the input column, the results are
calculated correctly. Why does Excel data tables not allow formulas in the
input column?

Example
************************************************** ********
Data Table with formula Margin input column

Yearly Yearly Coverage
Margin Revenue Savings Ratio

"271,998,000" "87,849,698" 2.04
