Copying Formulas in 2003 HELP HELP HELP

[Guest]

My question is a little unique. My formula is G1*1.1 I put the result in
H1. I can drag a formula down in a column, and it increments the row number,
but the resulting answer is the same in H2 as it was in H1. If I press F2 in
H2 then enter, the answer is correct.

My spreadsheet is almost 15,000 lines, and I do not want to have to F2 each
cell in the H column....... Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks......

Hi Roxy

check tools / options / calculation - ensure that it is set to automatic

Just for info.....

If you're wondering how it got switched to "manual"......

Excel takes the Calculation mode each session from the settings on the first
workbook opened in that session.

i.e. If you saved Book1 with calc mode in manual and opened it first, calc
mode would be in Manual.

If you saved Book2 with calc mode in auto and opened it after Book1, Book2
would be in manual mode(Excel ignores the auto calc mode in this case).

If you close Book1 before opening Book2, Book2 will be in auto calc mode.

Confusing enough? <g>
