Drag to fill a formula - problem!
I have a column of names in capitals and want to use the PROPER formula to
convert these to Proper case in the column next to it. However, the spreadsheet has been sent to me and seems to have a 'bug'. If I fill in the first entry, then try to drag and fill for the remainder, it repeats the first name in every cell. There is no constant $ in the formula. I tested the formula on a completely new spreadsheet using random, not copied, names and it works fine. Is there something I should check to get my column to fill properly? |

Try recalculating the sheet.

Thanks - the calculation was on manual - I changed it to automatic and that
has worked. "Barb Reinhardt" wrote: Try recalculating the sheet.
