    Help, cell drop down option not functioning properly!

    Hello,

    Say in column A, I have the values 1,2,3. If I set cell B1 equal to A1 and drag down, I'd expect this:

    A B
    1: 2 2
    2: 3 3
    3: 4 4

    But all the columns in B just say 2. What function did I accidentally change?

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Have you perhaps absoluted the formula? =$A$1 instead of just =A1
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Or you have calculation set to manual - does pressing f9 update the results?

    Thank you all! I had it set to manual. I can't remember changing it there though. Oh well!
