    Re: incorrect answer

    More explanation -- namely, what incorrect answer are they showing -- because all four cells appear correct to me:
    N10=10
    N11=15
    N12=20
    N13=25

    The only reason off the top of my head that a copied cell like this would not show the correct result is if you have turned automatic calculation off, in which case, the copied cells will usually show the same result as the original cell. If you are copying N10, for example, N11:N13 would all show 10, until you manually command a calculate event. Is that what you are seeing, or are you seeing other behavior?

    Re: incorrect answer

    When I drag N10 down all the answers displayed as 10
    When I reopen the file the answers are correct

    Re: incorrect answer

    Hi,

    You have calculation set to Manual.
    Select the Formula Tab in the ribbon
    Select Calculation Options and change to Automatic.
    Then copy down.

    Regards
