i know this is simple, but driving me nuts - formula
I have 2 cells A1 and A2 with number 2 in each, in A3 i sum (a1*A2),
works great i want to copy the formula to B3, and want excel to use B1 and B2... when i paste it puts in the formula from A3 with the value of (A1*A2), if I db click on the pasted formula, it fixes itself... how do i get this to do this automatically.. (it works fine on a blank worksheet), but not on this existing worksheet thanks |

B3 must be formatted as text. Change it to Comma or general, then past the
formula Also, it may be that A3 is formatted as text and when you copy/paste you are bringing the Text formatting along, so make sure A3 is something other than text " wrote: I have 2 cells A1 and A2 with number 2 in each, in A3 i sum (a1*A2), works great i want to copy the formula to B3, and want excel to use B1 and B2... when i paste it puts in the formula from A3 with the value of (A1*A2), if I db click on the pasted formula, it fixes itself... how do i get this to do this automatically..

If no joy with this, check your calculation mode at ToolsOptionsCalculation.
