Hello, I am currently running Excel 2003 SP2, and I am running into a
very strange issue:
1) open a new spreadsheet
2) in tool/options/calculation: enable iteration and set max iteration
to "1" (leave calculation on automatic)
3) we will do something very simple: increment a cell on each
iteration. To do this, simply go into cell A2 and type: "=a2+1". To
see the cell getting incremented, simply press F9 for each iteration.
4) I now want cell A1 and A3 to each display the value that is in A2:
to do this I go in cell A1 and type "=a2", and then go into cell A3
and type "=a2"
5) press F9 several times to increment the cell A2
=> Now it seems to me that A1 and A3 should both display what is in
cell A2...well on my spreadsheet A3 displays it alright, but A1 is 1
iteration behind!!!
=> The first thing I'd like help on is whether or not anyone else can
replicate the same issue using my example, and the second thing is: is
there a workaround?
Thanks in advance for the help!
