Copy and Paste in Excel, copies cell and formula, but shows same v
Excel 2003 with 2007 converters installed. Not constant problem, but have
seen it once before, can't remember how to stop it happening. I have a bank forecast which I have a running total column, against a individual line item list. Noddy stuff. Problem. If I make changes to the forecast I need to recopy down the running total formula to refresh the running total when it doesn't pick up the additions, usual when a cut has been pasted in. Whilst it allows me to dragdown or copy and paste the formula and the new cells take on the correct line/column numbers to do their totalling all that shows is the actual VALUE of the original copied cell and ignores the formulas within. Any ideas? Ian e.g how it should work 10 10 15 25 (cell above add cell to the left) 12 37 (cell above add cell to the left) 13 50 (cell above add cell to the left) what happens now when I copy down the formula in the first 25 total 10 10 15 25 (cell above add cell to the left) 12 25 (cell above add cell to the left) 13 25 (cell above add cell to the left) the formulas are correct in the cells and the cells are formated to numbers but |

I have the answer, but I shall leave the post up for a while so others can see the reason should it have happened to them. HOW it could have happened I do not know BUT Tools - Options - Calculations Tab - Manual vs Automatic Calculations (Change to Automatic) It was in Manual with F9 to refresh calculations, but I could not have keystoked that setting!? and certainly did not change it in the menu. |

Excel will change based on the first file opened. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "ipwil" wrote in message ...
