Cannot Change Formula in Spreadsheet
A client as several workbooks with spreadsheets that use the same formula.
On certain sheets, he can change the formula - is using the =LEFT(B6,1), but on others it gives him the error - "Don't Try it". On these cells, we can copy the formula from a sheet that it works on to this cell and then it works fine. There are no macros used in this workbooks. Any ideas of what could be preventing us from editing the formula, but yet allows us to paste a new formula from an existing cell that works? -- Rather be golfing |
