Sum formula not working
 
I am having a problem with the SUM function. My spreadsheet looks like this:
total 7/10 7/11 7/12 7/13 7/14 7/15 7/16
sum(B2:B8) 6 7 4 7 2 3

The sum in the weekly total, sums up the values in the next 7 cells. The
values in the 7 cells are pulled from daily workbooks. The problem is that
when I copy the formula for week 1 into week 2 it doesn't work right. What
happens is that when I update say the 3rd day in week 2, the sum does not
update. I do have automatic calculation on, and even did a manual calc, but
neither worked. What I do to get day 3, is that I copy the formula from day
2, and do a search and replace on the date in the formula. This makes it
pull from the right date, for the right column. The sum for the row just
doesn't re-calculate. What can I do to solve this?

what does the formula look like when you copy it into week 2?
