In the workbook I use for electric meter readings one of the months one row
doesn't calculate correctly. I cannot figure out why. The rest of the workbook calculates the way it should. This particular row is about $45 off what the total should be. Anyone know how I can fix this? |

Be more specific about what you have. A row doesn't calculate anything, a
formula does. What are the formulas you have? In what cells/columns? What are in the other columns? Check the formats in the cells of the various columns. A cell that is formatted as text will display a number if a number is entered into it, but in fact Excel will take that number as text. Any subsequent calculations with that "number" will not be correct. HTH Otto "Markies" wrote in message ...

I would look at the two most likely sources of error:
1. A list of values was increased in size and the formula that referenced the list was not updated to include the larger size 2. More likely - a value has been entered in a cell formatted for Text. The value LOOKS like good, but actually has the value 0. Functions like =SUM(A1:A100) will not trap the error -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200789 "Markies" wrote: In the workbook I use for electric meter readings one of the months one row doesn't calculate correctly.
