i have an excel file that the formulas, very simple addition, have stopped
working. when i re-enter new formulas, they do not change when i change the
other parts.

Try 'Tools' gt; 'Options' gt; 'Calculation' and make sure 'Automatic' is
checked,
Regards,
Alan.

I was having the same problem and this solution fixed it for me. But I had
never unchecked quot;automaticquot; in the first place, so I wonder how that happened?

Toolsgt;Optionsgt;Calculation can be Auto or 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.
