Problem Dragging Formulas
 

Hi there

I have suddenly had this problem appear in my work book and do not know why
it has started to do this.

When I drag down a formula in a cell, the row number changes in the formula,
however the actual value within the cell stays the same as the original cell
that I've dragged down from.

For example.

Cell D2 has a value of £11.95, and D3 has a value of £12.95.

I want to show these prices excluding VAT, therefore in the next column (E2)
I have the formula =SUM(D2/1.175) which gives a value of £10.17.

I then drag the formula down from E2 onto E3.

The formula states correctly =SUM(D3/1.175), however the vlaue is still
£10.17 and not £11.02 which would be the correct value. If I manually type
the formula the correct answer appears, but as I have rows of prices I need
the drag feature to work correctly again.

Please can anyone help me on this.

Thanks
Phil

Hi

Press F9 and see if that helps. Maybe your calculation is
on manual (See Tools, Option, tab Calculation); switch it
to Automatic.
