SOS - My formulas aren't computing down my rows but copying same

[Guest]

When I copy a formula down my spreadsheet, it returns the same results as the
top row even though it isn't justified anywhere. The only way I can get it
to work is F2 enter on each line!! Please Help! I have lengthy files and
this happens on and off for no reason that I know of.

Thanks!

Check Tools -> Options -> Calculation tab, make sure calculation is
"Automatic"

Sharon,

Try setting your calculation mode to automatic: Tools / Options... Calculation tab, check
"Automatic"

Thank you so much! I don't know how that got changed. You made it so
simple. Do you know how difficult it is to find such a simple answer from
Microsoft's website and/or Help functions?

Thanks again!

Sharon,

That setting gets set by the first workbook that you open.
