one row won't calculate
I use a grade book which I downloaded from the Microsoft site. It works
great, except when I had to add a new student. The grades do not calculate like in the other rows of students. I tried changing the grades of the other students to make sure it is calculating correctly, and it does. It is only for this new student. I also tried entering the grade directly in the row, and then into the formula bar, all to no avail. Any ideas? |

I think we'd need to see some formulas that arent' calculating, and some
sample data. -- John C "Rick" wrote: I use a grade book which I downloaded from the Microsoft site. It works great, except when I had to add a new student.

Well since many of the regulars probably won't go to MS download site and
download this file maybe you can explain what formulas (I assume it is a lookup formula) you are using and what does not work? First thing I would check is if the new student's numbers are in fact text. -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Rick" wrote in message ... I use a grade book which I downloaded from the Microsoft site.

Can you post URL of the Templet you downloaded? You are proabbly adding new
student incorrectly and there are no formulas in the new rows you have entered. "Rick" wrote: I use a grade book which I downloaded from the Microsoft site.

You don't upload, just type what formulas in which cells aren't calculating,
give us some sample data here to work with... For example: Say you have the Grade in cell B25, you type in 97, so in cell C25, you would want the letter grade to show, i.e.: C25: =IF(B2592,"A",IF(B2584,"B",IF(B2576,"C",IF(B25 68,"D","F")))) Without knowing what formulas are in cells that aren't updating, and without knowing what data you are entering that should update these formulas, no help can be rendered. -- John C |

I don't think he was picking on the trust issue, I think he was more thinking

one row won't calculate
Thanks to all of you for the quick posts. I forgot to mention I am using 2003
I admittedly know nothing about excel. I just downloaded the gradebook and it worked great. So I'm not sure how to send you the formulas you asked about. The data i enter is in points. you add an assignment and give it the points you can get. The spreadsheet converts it to the percentage and a letter grade. I think I may have entered the grade points at the beginning (0-60 is an F for example) It has worked great, both entering grades and changing them. It's this one student for which it doesn't calculate. I downloaded it from: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...CT101445101033 Thanks!!!

If it was a formula error than they would of recevied N/A or REF. It sound
more like they added a row and there were no formulas. I would like to see the templete to find out how new rows should be added.

Yes, if he has a formula that is referencing cells A2:A100, and he is
entering data in A101, and no update is happening to the formula that references A2:A100, then no error will occur. It is why people have asked for the formula, and the cells that the OP is entering data into. I personally would not DL a template from any site. -- John C "Joel" wrote: If it was a formula error than they would of recevied N/A or REF.

Rick: Inserting Rows will not copy the formula. The best way of adding row
is as follows: 1) Insert Row like you normally would do by highlighting row and then Insert. 2) Copy a row with formulas then go to PasteSpecial and Select formulas. A 2nd method is to highlight a Row with formulas and Copy. Then right click on the highlighted row and select Insert Copied Cells. "Rick" wrote: Thanks to all of you for the quick posts.

I dont' know if this helps, but the gradebook has several blank rows that appear (to me anyway) to have the green triangles in them that they already have the formulas "Joel" wrote: Rick: Inserting Rows will not copy the formula.

The green triangles indicate the cells were changed, not that they have
formulas. If you click on any Cell in columns D, E, or F. You wil lsee the formulas in the Fx() box at the top of the worksheet. To copy the formulas: 1) find a row with the formulas. Then highlight Columns D, E, and F and Copy (Cntl - C). 2) Then go to a row without formulas and right click on Column D. Select PasteSpecial and choose formulas. Then press OK.

You have to fix the formulas at the bottom of the page. Make sure the Range
includes all you student rows. If you Insert in the middle of the student data the Rows of these formulas should automatically increase. You just need to copy the formulas in columns D, E, and F on the individual rows. I usuallly copy the entire row and then Insert copy Row, rather than insert row and then have to copy the formulas. Average Column D =IF(SUM(D13:D52),AVERAGE(D13:D52),"") Average Column E =IF(D55<"",HLOOKUP(D55,GradeTable,2),"") Average Column F =IF(SUM(F13:F52),AVERAGE(F13:F52),"") Highest Column D =IF(SUM(D13:D52),MAX(D13:D52),"") Highest Column E =IF(D56<"",HLOOKUP(D56,GradeTable,2),"") Highest Column F =IF(SUM(F13:F52),MAX(F13:F52),"") Lowest Column D =IF(SUM(D13:D52),MIN(D13:D52),"") Lowest Column E =IF(D57<"",HLOOKUP(D57,GradeTable,2),"") Lowest Column F =IF(SUM(F13:F52),MIN(F13:F52),"") "Rick" wrote: I was wrong.

Suggest you have a look at error-checking in ToolsOptions to see what the
green triangles really mean. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 13 Oct 2008 09:46:03 -0700, Joel wrote: The green triangles indicate the cells were changed, not that they have formulas. |

It is not an error. Green triangles just means the formula in the cell has
been changed. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Suggest you have a look at error-checking in ToolsOptions to see what the green triangles really mean. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 13 Oct 2008 09:46:03 -0700, Joel wrote: The green triangles indicate the cells were changed, not that they have formulas. |

Not necessarily.
Green triangles may mean a formula is not consistent with others in the range or could mean any one or several of seven other things you would find at the Error Checking tab.
