Please help, Formulas not working.

**metallidaz** · 10-29-2009, 04:02 AM

All my formulas were going great but for some reason they have just stopped working. Only when I double click on them & hit enter do they calculate. Can some one help me?

Cheers.

Perhaps your Excel Application has been changed to Manual Calculation.

if the first workbook you open in a session,(perhaps from someone else) has been set to manual calc. then every subsequent workbook you open or create will also be on manual. i.e. it's the application that contains the setting not the workbook.

Check and reset to Automatic if necessary.

Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

Maybe the cells have text format, so the formula is understand as an string.

Select the affected cells and then: Edit-> Clear -> All
And try to enter formulas there again.
