Default Formulas

Hi,

I have tried coping formulas in other cells. But it is acting like it does
not read them. Some columns work and others don't. I can't even sum the
column, it reads 0. Other columns total. I exported some information from
quickbooks to excel, just adding other columns but it will not allow this.

Default Formulas

Hi,

It could be that some of the cells that contain the formula are formatted as
'Text' Select a cell and Re-format as general, Tap f2 and enter and see what
happens.

Default Formulas

Switch between relative, absolute, and mixed references
1.. Select the cell that contains the formula.
2.. In the formula bar , select the reference you want to change.
3.. Press F4 to toggle through the combinations. The "Changes To" column
reflects how a reference type updates if a formula containing the reference
is copied two cells down and two cells to the right.


Formula being copied

Reference (Description) Changes to
$A$1 (absolute column and absolute row) $A$1
A$1 (relative column and absolute row) C$1
$A1 (absolute column and relative row) $A3
A1 (relative column and relative row) C3
