Why won't my formulas work until I save the worksheet?
I created a very basic worksheet, each row totals into one cell in that row.
For the first 27 lines it works. Entries made after line 27 will not compute until I save the worksheet. As soon as I hit FILE and then SAVE, the total appears. I've never had this happen. I'm stumped!! |

Sounds like your calculation is set to manual.
Click Tools/Options/Calculation - set to automatic. "gwwillits" wrote: I created a very basic worksheet, each row totals into one cell in that row. For the first 27 lines it works.

You probably have turned off calculation
You can quickly test with F2 then Enter and if that works then that is a possibility. F9 will recalculate, there are more powerful recalculation shortcuts http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/shortx2k.htm#calc which you might try if the following fail. 1) Turn Calculation on tools, options, calculation (tab), calculation: automatic 2) Make sure you are not in formula view -- would not apply here because you say it is fixed when you close, which is another indication of calc turned off. The first workbook that is opened controls whether calculation is on or off. You might need to close the open workbooks except for your personal.xls with your macros and unhide that (window, unhide) before fixing option, then of course hide your personal workbook again so macros will be available in other workbooks when they are opened. A macro that abnormally terminates would be one way that calculation gets turned off, and of course you could have turned it off manually. A misbehaving add-in can also turn off calculation and fail to turn it back on -- but add-ins are usually written by people who take a bit more care -- but it certainly does happen with add-ins as well. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel....htm#checklist --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "gwwillits" wrote in message ...
