How do I copy a formula to another cell
I am trying to copy a basic addition formula from 1 cell to another...When I
do this it copies the cells correctly but gives me the answer from the previous cell copied from. example A1 = 100, A2 = 100 so A3 would be A1+A2=A3 = 200 if i copy that formula from A3 to B3 I get the same ending firgure even if my numbers in B1 and B2 are different. |

You might have Calculation set to Manual - press F9 to see if the
values in B3 change. If so, go to Tools | Options | Calculation (tab) and check Automatic Calculation. Pete |

How do I copy a formula to another cell
=SUM(A1+A2) IN CELL A3
=SUM(B1+B2) IN CELL B3, but when i copy the formula from cell A3 to cell B3, it changes the everything correctly except is carries the A3 calculation down to B3 - it doesn't add the current cell information.

It sounds like your calculations are set to Manual instead of Automatic.
Select TOOLS Select OPTIONS Click on the CALCULATIONS tab Change the setting to AUTOMATIC Click OK Or, if you'd rather leave calculations as Manual, then just hit F9 whenever you want to update your formula values.
