Must save to view formula results
I'm doing a sum on a single column of numbers =sum(d3:d50). After updating
new values to the column I now must save the worksheet to view the updated formula results. I've been using this worksheet for over a year and suddenly this happened. Excel 2003, SP3, Office Professional |

Check Tools|Options, Calculation tab, and ensure the Automatic calculation is
checked. This is excel wide, not workbook specific, so, if you open a book that has manual calculations, any other books you open after that (with the first one still open), will switch to manual calculations. The reverse is also true. The first workbook opened determines how any subsequent workbooks will calculate. Hope this helps. -- John C "S R" wrote: I'm doing a sum on a single column of numbers =sum(d3:d50).
