    auto calculate not working

    I import a file and paste as CSV. I believe everything is considered text
    then, but there are numbers as well. The worksheet has over 4000 lines. I
    try to concantenate two cells (ie. a2 and b2). I use the function, but the
    result shows the formula. What I want is the new value or the string of
    words. I have checked my options and the auto calculate is turned on. I
    even try the various F9 keys.

    Under 'Tools'...'options'....'window options' do you have the formulas box
    checked? If so uncheck that box.

    RE: auto calculate not working

    Did you format the row you are putting the concatenate as general before
    entering the formula? (Also even numbers can be considered text if imported
    as text I believe.)

    Hi

    It sounds like your cell was formatted as Text before you typed in the
    formula. Format it as General and re-enter your formula.
    Just because a file is CSV does not mean that all entries are treated as
    text. Numbers will still remain numbers.
