    Basic Budget Formulas Suddenly Quit Working

    Hello,

    I have a weird problem (but probably simple to you) - The spreadsheet is attached. Version is Excel 2013 and I'm running Win7.

    I've been using this budget for years with the exact same formulas and then all of a sudden last night, I started getting an error of #VALUE.

    Example
    B(15) C(15) D(15)
    Budget Actual Cost Difference
    (160.00) (167.59) 7.59 Formula is =C15-B15
    How I enter -160 - 167.59


    B & C are formatted as Number, 2 decimal, Symbol None, use 1000 Separator, Negative is (1,234.10) in black
    I've also tried it as B&C as currency.
    D is formatted as Accounting, Decimal 2, Symbol None

    Note that the ones with middle values had no errors, that's what it did until the other day.
    The ones on the right in yellow, you will see 2 highlighted.

    On the first one - When I enter the C15 as -65.00, D15 gives me a #VALUE
    So then I tried entering it without the - on the next row and D15 ADDS!!!!!!!

    Can someone please help? Thank you so much in advance

    I strongly suggest you take down the attachment and replace it with a version without sensitive data. If I were a dishonest person, the first tab in this workbook would be dynamite! I see no error messages anywhere in the workbook in Excel 2013.

    Thank you so much for the heads up!!!!!!!

    What else can I do to get the formulas to work correctly? I still keep getting the #Value and it's driving me nuts.

    Please provide a copy of the workbook with the sensitive data removed (i.e. that tab with all of your log in IDs and passwords!!!).

    You need to be very clear about which cells are throwing up an error so that we can check. When I looked, there were no errors. It would be easiest if you were to annotate the workbook itself.
