updating query.
 

Hi

I have a cell b1 with a formula entered in which is =sheet1!a1 but whe
I exit the cell it is not updating to the Sheet 1 A1 value but instea
showing me the formula. it does seem to work if I enter in the formul
into a different cell.

Any Ideas?

I also have a macro which creates a report from various source an
outputs one sheet with all the figures. It works perfectly except
would prefer it to not jump from one screen to the next while it i
producing the report any ideas on how to just stay on a sheet and hav
a msgbox say that the report is finished

Is the cell formatted as Text. Format it as general. this can happen if
Sheet1!A1 is formatted as text as well.
