Forgive me if this is a duplicate post. I thought I posted this question on
Friday, but have not had any responses, and can't find the original through
the search box.
I am using Windows 2007, but saw this error occasionally with 03.
When using concatenate, if I drag the formula down the column, all the boxes
fill with the same result. When I click on each box, the formula is correct,
but the result uses the text from the very first row.
Ex: say I'm concatenating names col. A is name & col. B is job title.
All columns fill with "Abraham Lincoln, President" which would be in row 1,
but the formulas are correct for all following rows.
=CONCATENATE(C3,", ",D3)
A co-worker who tried to help me noticed that when clicking "save" the
results change to the proper text (ex: Thomas Edison, Inventor).
We had tried cutting/pasting to new columns & even a new workbook.
We thought it was a fluke/hiccup in the particular workbook I was using, but
it just happened again in a completely different workbook.
Anyone know what's going on or how to fix it? Will I always have to save
everytime I want to concatenate?
