Hi there, i'm new so i hope this explaination makes sense.
I'm just doing a practise run with something like a banking record. I was
able to put in formulas that worked except.... in one cell there is a message
that says " The formula in this cell refers to a range that has
additional numbers adjacent to it." Then there is a little box with an
exclaimation mark....when i click on that box it gives me choices, one of
which says "help on this error". But when i click on that "help on this
error" a help window pops up, but never fills in. It's blank.
Does anyone know any reason for that?

Second, how do i delete the numbers i put in the cells, but keep the
formulas there for when i do next months banking? for example...... Every
time i "clear contents, it clears numbers and formula both.

Thanks for any help.
 
Hi Pamela:

On your second question:

1. select some cells
2. pull-down: Edit > Goto... > Special... and check Constants
your formulae will not be selected
3. pull-down edit > Clear > Contents
your formulae will not be cleared.
 
Hi Gary's Student,
Thanks for the advice, but for some reason it didn't work. After i
highlighted 2 cells with formulas in them =sum(E7:F7) was one of
them.....then clicked constants, ok, a message popped up saying "no cells
found"
I know i'm doing something wrong....just don't know what?! Thanks for your
attempt, and if you have any other ideas.........fire away ;-)
