Make Excel 2003 auto upate cell caluclations

[cpliu]

I have the same problem as described below. The answer was given to
Excel 2007 but I can't find the same functioin for Excel 2003. Please
help.

==========
My Excel 2007 has stopped auto updating formula cells when one of the
input
cells are changed. It will only update the value if i mark the cell
and
press enter, or save the file.
How do I make it auto update again?


A: Formulas tab, Calculation Options, check Automatic

Tools>Options>Calculation tab>Check Automatic

Thanks a lot for the answer. It works now! Just wonder why all of
sudden my Excel has this turned off as I didn't turn it off manually?

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>
