"Formula omits adjacent cells" Error.

[John Prendergast]

I have started using Excel 2002 on a XP Pro system. I use
excel to chart stock values. With this ver of excel, the
range of cells that are refereneing data from other cell
ranges are taged with this error. An example would be in
column "e" =sum(a10:a14)/15. Why does this happen, and what
is the solution. I have used excel 97 for a long time
without this error. The data result is correct, but why the
error?


Thanks.

Hi John
nothing to worry about. Excel is just getting 'smarter'. As the error
message stated there are probably values in A9 and/or A16. As Excel
recognizes this and is assuming a SUM function would include theses
cells it tagges your formula.

If you're annoyed by this feature, copen the listbox attached to this
tag symbol, choose 'Options' and disable the error messages of your
choice

Thank you, I was going to do this, but I wanted to make

sure there wasn't more serious problem.
