Default Excel not Calculating


I don't know why excel will not calculate even when I press F9 (for
manual calculation). I have to end up going to the formula bar,
clicking inside it and pressing enter for it to calculate. Does
anybody have a reasoning and/or a way to fix this? Thanks.

Do you have calculation set for manual?
tools|option|calculation tab

Change it to automatic.

Maybe your data is not numeric?

Re-format all to General then copy an empty cell.

Select the range of data and Paste SpecialAddOKEsc.
