autofill down won't work!!!!
 
I have input data in columns A through D and then formulas in columns E
through H that calculate off the data in columns A to D. For the formulas, I
just double click the bottom right hand corner of the cell box and it
autofills down. The next time I enter data in columns A through D, the
formulas in columns E through H automatically calculate for me. EXCEPT one
formula, it will not autofill, I have to double click the bottom right corner
of the cell above for this formula to calculate in the present row. The
formula is very simple too, it is just a cumulative profit. So if profits
are in column G, and column H is cumulative, and the formula to be filled is
in cell H33, it would just be H32+G33. Why is this one formula not
autofilling????

Tools Options Calculation Automatic

Press F9 Calculates formulas that have changed since the last calculation,
and formulas dependent on them, in all open workbooks. If a workbook is set
for automatic calculation, you do not need to press F9 for calculation.

Press SHIFT+F9 Calculates formulas that have changed since the last
calculation, and formulas dependent on them, in the active worksheet.

Press CTRL+ALT+F9 Calculates all formulas in all open workbooks, regardless
of whether they have changed since last time or not.

Press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+F9 Rechecks dependent formulas, and then calculates all
formulas in all open workbooks, regardless of whether they have changed since
last time or not.

I am already set to automatic calculations. This isnt about refreshing
calculations or any changes to formulas. Its simply about autofilling down.

Then I don't know. It's standard Excel behavior to double-click the small
black cross and, assuming you don't have a space, the data will fill-down.

Very bizarre. Maybe down it, wait a couple minutes, and reboot and try it
again. I've seen some weird things before. Maybe Excel is somehow
mismanaging system memory.
