    Formulas changing cell references for not apparent reason

    Hi,

    I have a spreadsheet with the following formula used in one column.

    =((C10*3)+(E10*2)+(J10*5)+(F10*3)+(G10*3)+(I10*3))/('Projected Time'!AA6/100)

    'Projected Time' is another worksheet in the same workbook. For some reason, some of the cell references change for no apparent reason. For example, today I opened the spreadsheet and the cell L15 read:

    =((C15*3)+(E15*2)+(J15*5)+(F15*3)+(G15*3)+(I15*3))/('Projected Time'!AA11/100)

    After I had finished entering data into the workbook, the cell had changed to:

    =((C15*3)+(E15*2)+(J15*5)+(F15*3)+(G16*3)+(I15*3))/('Projected Time'!AA11/100)

    This then replicated from cell L15 down to the end of the formulas in the column (L32). Cells L1 to L14 were still correct (had not changed).

    I had not deleted any cells on any of the worksheets of the workbook so I have no idea why it would have changed.

    I am using Excel 2003 (version 11.5612.5606).
    Has anyone encountered this problem before?
    Does anyone have any idea on how I can prevent this from happening?

    Thanks

    The change in your formula from g15 to g16 indicates a cell was inserted in column g in possible row 15

    I hadn't inserted or deleted any rows, cells or columns. That is the frustrating thing. There is no apparent reason for the change in the formula......
