excel adding formula malfunction
Halfway through writing a spreadsheet, new formulas for adding in excel 2003 stopped working. Whether I write them +v10+x10 or copy from another place in the spreadsheet, it gives me totally wrong answers. I closed restarted Window (7) and it still malfunctions. Help.

Sounds like you may have set calculation to manual.

Thank you TMS,
I checked the setting and it was on automatic. When I actually switch to manual, the function works, but only manually indeed, it still malfunctions when I try to copy and paste a formula.
In the bottom left hand corner of the Excel window, on the Status Bar where it says "Ready", does it ever say "Calculate"?
Maybe you can post a sample workbook that exhibits the problem?

Thanks TMS, it looks like the ready button fixed it. Unfortunately I don't remember if it said "calculate." It just worked. Hope it will continue working.
Have a pleasant day,
