Drag Formula copies values instead
Hi,
When I drag formula down, it will copy the value of the cell, even through the values of the formula get updated. What I mean, if I were to drag the formula in 1A down to 3A, it would result in: Comumn A Column B Column C Row 1 3 (formula is 1B+1C) 1 2 Row 2 3 (formula is 2B+2C) 3 4 Row 3 3 (formula is 3B+3C) 5 6 So the formulas are correct, yet the valus are wrong. It will work if I clear the contents and retype them, or if I right click on the first cell, drag and click "Fill Formats". This just started yesterday, on two different worksheets (no viruses). Anyone??? |

Is your Calculation option set to Manual? If so, the formulas copied down
would appear as you described until the worksheet was recalculated.
