    Formula not auto updating

    Hi Everyone
    I am having a problem with a simple formula ... it doesn't get auto updated.. it calculates the value when i write the formula and press enter.. but when i change the value of a linked variable it doesn't get updated..

    the cell is set to automatic calculations..
    Formula looks like.. : =((B22+C19)/(C15*C18))*C18

    But what i realized is that if take the last part out of the formula and write it as below.. it works fine.. and auto updates..
    =((B22+C19)/(C15*C18))

    Any ideas?

    C18 cancels out and does not affect your result at all. If you're changing the value in C18, nothing will happen. Does the value change if you change B22, C19 or C15?
