Our new network administrator tried to keep all company computers from going
on the internet, and in doing so he royally screwed up several spreadsheets on my computer ... He eventually had to buy me a new computer, but one spreadsheet still will not calculate ... I've tried everything I know to get it to work ... All formula cells that were calculating previous to his blooper still have data in them ... every cell since then is not working ... and even with the new computer, the cells don't formulate ... HELP ...!!! |

Hi Gary"s Student ... I had previously tried that ... and tried it again just
now ... no help :( This spreadsheet is huge ... The main worksheet consists of rows and columns of raw data ... then i have another worksheet that totals the raw data by month/product and then certain yields ... this page reads the rows from the first sheet by one certain column ... Then there are twelve worksheets of charts, one for each month ... I have been using this same basic spreadsheet for eight years and have had no problems until now ... my second worksheet has calculated no data from the first sheet since the day our new network admin took over ... (I'm still wondering how the guy got the job ... LOL) "Gary''s Student" wrote: First try kicking the spreadsheet with CNTRL-ALT-F9 -- Gary''s Student "CJ" wrote: Our new network administrator tried to keep all company computers from going on the internet, and in doing so he royally screwed up several spreadsheets on my computer ...

If you select that cell with the misbehaving formula, then hit F2 followed by
enter, does the 0 change to something else? If no, maybe the formula is calculating correctly, but your data isn't what you think it is (or your formula is pointing to the wrong data????)

Don't panic. We can always take a single cell and debug it. You are getting
values from the formulae and not errors lik #N/A or #NAME. Next check the named ranges to make sure they didn't get broken. -- Gary''s Student "CJ" wrote: How do you know that it's not calculating?

What's octml?
octml means October Mocha Lite ... octml is in the column that the formula is looking for ...

If no, maybe the formula is calculating correctly, but your data isn't what you think it is (or your formula is pointing to the wrong data????) <bg If your data doesn't have any gaps, maybe you could use a dynamic range that grows/contracts with the data.

Hi Dave ... I thought the ranges grew with the data ...???
Did you read my general reply to my original query ...??? I've found that the columns are only being calculated to Row 1000 ...

OK, my guess is that your formula is calculating correctly, but your data is
not what you think it is. 1. From the top menu bar, select Insert/Name/Define. You should see "Flavor" and "TheoryGals" in the list. Click on each of them in turn and tell me what it says in the "Refers To:" Box. 2. Then check and see if you have any "OctML" entries in the defined range for "Flavor". 3. If OctML is a text entry in a cell, the "=" is superfluous and should be eliminated. If OctML is a Defined Name, then the syntax should be "="&OctML. ------------------------------------ On Sun, 13 Nov 2005 07:16:06 -0800, "CJ" wrote: If you select one of these cells that is not calculating, what do you see in the CELL? 0 What do you see in the Formula Bar? =SUMIF(Flavor,"=OctML",TheoryGals)/1.78125 Under Tools/Options/Calculations -- what is selected?

What you write does not make sense to me.
Had you done what I suggested, you would have only had to change two references in the Define Name dialog box. There should not be 100's of cells there -- just two Names in workbook to be concerned with, and one "Refers to" for each name. What, exactly, did you do????

Well heck ... I typed a long answer and it seems to have disappeared ...
maybe I clicked the wrong button ... it's been a long day :) Anyway ... There are thirteen names in the Name Define area ... I was in a cell on the worksheet and when I clicked on the Name Define place, I selected the first name and changed the reference from row 1000 to row 2000 ... then I clicked on another name and did the same thing, until I did all the names ... then I clicked on another cell and checked the Name Define place and they all said 1000 again ... so I thought I had to change each individual cell :) Turns out the 2000 isn't sticking and for the life of me I cannot figure out why ... I even went to one of the named columns and selected it all the way down to 2000, then clicked on the name range place and selected it from the drop down list ... but it went right back to 1000 :( I'm not sure if I'm editing this correctly ...???

After you change the "refers to" box, make sure you hit the Add button.

Hmmm. Did the LAST name you changed "take"? The one you changed just before
you clicked <OK? If it did, try clicking the <ADD button after you make each change. And then it should "take" ------------------------ On Sun, 13 Nov 2005 15:37:02 -0800, "CJ" wrote: Well heck ...

Well that little "=" trick helped ME out. I lose my calculations/links when
I move a sheet from one position to another within the workbook. I still don't know why that happens or how to prevent it but at least I can repair it now. Thanks!!
