Equations Result in 0
 

Hi,

I have had these worksheets with varying equations ranging from all
sorts of complexity, from simple SUM and DATEDIF functions to triple IF
conditions. These worksheets have been working for months flawlessly,
however, recently when I do anything in my excel books, I have run into
quite the situation. Everytime I click on a cell with a formula or
function, and I press enter afterwards, the value returned becomes a
'0' instead of what value it should result in. Or if I decide I want to
change the formula to refer to another cell in part of the formula,
again the resulting value in the cell becomes a '0'. I dont understand
what is going on. Any insight would be extremely helpful.

Thanks!

When you left-click on a cell containing a formula, look at the Formula Bar.
Does it show the formula, or is it blank, or does it contain a
zero?..........unless it's the formula, your Mouse is probably inadvertantly
inserting either a blank, or zero into the cell just by clicking on it, and
the pressing of Enter just sets it........if this is the case, you may need a
new mouse, and/or a new mouse driver.

Chuck,

I understood your response and I checked, but to no avail. When I left
click to see if there is a formula there, there is, and its correct. If
I double-click to see cells referenced, and then press Enter, I get a
'0' in the cell. The formula, even after the 0 is shown as the answer,
is still the original formula, nothing has changed. But for some
reason, the outputs are haywire.

Could I send the file over for someone to take a look? I am really
stumped.

Sure, you can send to my home addy...."croberts at tampabay dot rr dot com"
........I'll do what I can.

Is this problem just with this file, or with all files on your computer
now?......does this file act like this on another computer?

I looked at the file, and the problem does not show up here. If I were you,
before I reinstalled Excel, I think I would try another mouse and another
keyboard.

Sorry, wish I could have been of more help.
