I have a worksheet that serves as my check register; I have a formula that
updates when I add a deposit or write a check. All of a sudden today, the
formula is not updating when I add/subtract a number. What can be wrong?

Could it be that calculation is not set to automatic?

Thanks, Don. That was the problem. I don't know how the automatic calc got
changed, but that fixed my problem. Thanks again.

ToolsOptionsCalculation can be Auto or Manual.

Excel takes the Calculation mode each session from the settings on the first
workbook opened in that session.

i.e. If you saved Book1 with calc mode in manual and opened it first, calc
mode would be in Manual.

If you saved Book2 with calc mode in auto and opened it after Book1, Book2
would be in manual mode(Excel ignores the auto calc mode in this case).

If you close Book1 before opening Book2, Book2 will be in auto calc mode.

Confusing enough? <g
