I have to select Each cells with a function, than put my cursor in the formula bar and press enter. The excel option 'automatic calculation' is on and was always on before? Also, all cells are in 'numbers' format...not text. Thanks ! I am having the same problem and can't get it figured out. Please help. |

If calculation mode is set to automatic and formulas don't update
then................. You are working under the common misconception that if a number is formatted to number then Excel will see it as a number. You must coerce Excel into treating as a number. Format all to number or general then copy an empty cell. Select your range of "numbers" and editpaste specialaddokesc. Now Excel will treat as numbers.
