Values in spreadsheets do not update
Go to Tools, Options, Calculation Tab
Make sure that the automatic radio button is highlighted. OK out of the option screen. Formulas should now auto update. -- Saruman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Outgoing Mail Scanned By Norton Antivirus 2003 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sandy at the Chrome" <Sandy at the wrote in message ...

My standard list:
================================================== ======= Cells not calculating (correctly) Niek Otten, March 31, 2006 Most frequent causes: 1. Calculation is set to Automatic. This often happens unintentionally, for example by opening another workbook first. Calculation is an Excel-wide setting; the first workbook opened determines the calculation mode, which then applies to all open workbooks and workbooks that are opened later in that instance of Excel. It can be changed manually (again, for all open workbooks): ToolsOptionsCalculation tab, check Automatic. 2. There are User Defined Functions (UDFs) which access cells directly from within the function, that is, not via the argument list. Then Excel is not aware of the need of recalculation if the precedent cell changes. You can include Application.Volatile in the function, but there is no guarantee this will always calculate cells in the correct sequence in all (future) versions of Excel. It also causes the calling cells (and dependents) to always be recalculated, even if not necessary. Really the best way is to include all precedent cells in the argument list. 3. You see the formulas in the cell, not the answers. Two options: a. ToolsOptionsView, Formulas is checked (you may accidentally have hit the shortcut key: CTRL+`), b. the cell was formatted as text before you entered the formula. Format as General and re- enter (F2, ENTER). If it's about many formulas, select them, Find and replace "=" by "=". That's more or less the same as re-entering them. 4. Excel version 5.0a (yes, very, very old!) has serious recalculation bugs, Excel 97 absolutely needs Service Pack 2 (SP2) to calculate correctly. 5. Very, very rarely, Excel's dependency tree gets messed up. One way to rebuild it is to find and replace all "=" by "=", for all sheets (for Excel, this is like re-entering all formulas). Later versions of Excel rebuild by pressing CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F9 6.
