F9 Calc refresh does not work...

[LinLin]

I have a spreadsheet which has some formulas which do not refresh properly.

They are simple "IF" formulas.

If I press F9 or Options / Calculate Now, they do not refresh.

They only way I can get them to work is F2 when I'm on the cell (revealing
the formula in the Formula Line) and when it closes it refreshes.

I have this formula in other sheets in the same spreadsheet but I don't have
this problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks (and happy new year to all!)

<They are simple "IF" formulas>

Why not show the formulas?

Sometimes it helps to rebuild the dependency tree by pressing
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F9

You could:
Select all the cells
Edit|Replace
what: = (equal sign)
to: = (equal sign)
replace all

i've had the problem and it can be one of two reasons

1. having a function that runs and runs in the backgroung - press CTRL-break to check tha

2. oddly, my sheet has disappeared from the tree of objecxts, when i look under ALT-f11. this seems to be some excel corrupion because the sheet is not hidden

best to restart excel altogethe
and probably to copy-and-paste all the info to a fresh file..
