I am posting this solution for anybody still struggling with this. I saw two threads in this forum that asked this question, with no good answer. I tried it on several new/different spreadsheets but it keeps happening. I ran a scan for viruses and none were found. Has anyone ever seen this before? I have no idea what is going on. It is like the act of putting the cursor in the formula activates it to work properly but until it is activated that C cell shows the value of the cell which it was dragged down from. When I click on the Column C cells and then it shows the formula up top in the formula bar and if I put my cursor anywhere in the formula bar and hit Return the formula does not change however the correct value then appears in the Column C cell. For instance, the formula in C2 is =A2/B2 however the value of that cell showed 542 which was not the correct math/value.īut it gets even more weird. And when I went to check to see if the formula was correctly dragged it was. So I dragged that formula down and it showed 542 in all column C cells which is not correct. The math was correct it showed 542 in the C1 cell. then in column C, I made the formula C1=A1/B1. I typed in values for column A rows 1 through 10 then values for column B rows 1 through 10.
