Columns moving up and down on their own in a worksheet. What Goes?

Does the file in question contain code?

I've never seen this, though....

Thank you very much for your kind interest Mr. Green

As I mentioned in the few paragraphs I sent, I have been working for quite a few years on a spreadsheet that I constantly use to record my private expenses through the years (started around 2010) and the very early years I had no problems.
I resorted every year to just rename each file from "Expenses 2010" to a newly saved one called Expenses 2011, and worked on top of that spreadsheet and on each of the five worksheets which that file comprised. That probably has meant that a lot of writing on top of every one of those cells have been reworked through the years.

Sorry for my ignorance but I do not understand the meaning of your question of how much "code" each cell is carried in each one of the cells. Have I been using a method of using a spreadsheet for every new year based on the last one? Does the spreadsheet become so filled with "code" that it finally becomes unusable?

My present problem began about a year ago when I observed that some columns kept going up or down on the left and right end of the spreadsheet. I kept correcting this quirk manually by moving and correcting the formatting troubles that caused me, but usually it wouldn't last long and the problem would reappear either on the same cells, or worse yet, on new ones.
The formatting of lines in cells and colors entered for those cells would also change without rhyme or reason (that I could understand)

But, the problem has worsened as I go along the time I am working with the worksheet which has prompted me to humbly ask and request some help and advice. Now I fear for the integrity of the contents of the worksheets and do not have any idea of what could be happening.

When I format a row designating a continuous color and thickness that runs from one end of the worksheet to the other end, sometimes when I have to do some changing or supplanting information in one cell, the line formatting of the cell will change. Or, also, one of the contiguous cells will be affected and change and I will have to go back to correct that action.
Needless for me to say that this situation has become unbearable and I am thinking of creating a brand new spreadsheet for my yearly expenses every time. Can I just copy the last spreadsheet I have that did not do all the mistakes this latest one is doing?

I am right now trying to create a sample workbook that I will be able to show graphically what my problem is, like a master set without any information written inside the cells?

The main worksheet that I work with has 17 columns and about 1600 rows of used space. Worksheets 2,3,4,5 are much smaller in size and complexity. The whole spreadsheet varies from 750 mb to 1.2 Gigas at most.

Any help that you could provide me with will be greatly appreciated.

As I mentioned, I am brand new in this forum and do not know my way around, but I am willing to learn.

Thank you for your patience.

Welcome to the forum.

There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

I have sent Mr. Glenn Green an account of what I am going through with my Excel at this time ...

If you mean what you have already posted in this thread, then yes, we can all see it. If you mean that you have sent Glenn Kennedy a private message, then please keep everything here in the thread.

If you attach a workbook here showing the issue, we shall both be able to access it.
