circular reference warning
one or more formulas contain a circular reference and may not calculate
correctly. circular references are any references within a formula that
depend upon the results of that same formula. for example, a cell that refers
to its own value or a cell that refers to another cell which depends on the
original cell's value both contain circular references.

At least now he has a backup - the copy he gave to you.

Sometimes a circular reference is created intentionally - not the wisest
thing to do, but I've done it myself and have seen others do it on purpose.
When you do find the problem, you may want to determine if it was done on
purpose or not. If it was done on purpose, then I'd look first for a way to
do it without the circular reference, and that is not feasible, then you can
inhibit that warning with a setting in Excel Tools Options -- but NOT until
after you make the determination of whether or not the circular reference was
created on purpose.

Your file contained several unintentional circular references, and 1 funny
one. In both the 08 and 09 sheets, the SUM formulae on row 130 was faulty,
viz =SUM(D127:D130), iso D127:D129. Since row 130 is the total row, just
change this back to 129, then copy right across to the end. There is also an
alleged circular reference in P110, which is in fact not a circular
reference. It reads =SUM(D110:O110). To fix this, select the cell, press
<F2, and press <Enter
To get help tracing these errors, on the formula tab, in the Formula
Auditing section, click on Trace Dependents, and then on Circular references.
It will show you one after the other circular reference. As I say, even if
it starts with P130. redo all formulae on that row, it will save you a lot of
time.
