Formulas aren't working

The formulas in my worksheet aren't working accurately.
When I enter data into one cell that should change the
result in another cell, the change isn't happening
automatically. I've been using the same worksheet for
months and am just now having this problem. It worked fine
before. Then if I click into the formula on the formula
bar and then press the check button, it works and the
result registers the new data change...but I can't do this
every time. Any suggestions on how to make this occur
automatically again??! I hope so. THanks!
 
Hi Shannon!

Use:

Tools > Options > Calculation
Place dot in Automatic

tools/options/Calculation, select Automatic.

The Calculation mode is set by the first workbook opened in an Excel
session.

Tools>Options>Calculation. Set to "Automatic".

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>
