Very odd, if I write a formula and then use Autofill to run it down a column, the formula shows the value of the first cell in all the other cells. Then if I press 'Save' it will calculate properly and change the values to the correct values. Why is this happening?

Under Tools->Options... in the "Calculation", check to see if the "Calculation" is set to "Automatic" or "Manual"

Didn't get the answers that you wanted? Take a look at FAQ219-2884
 
It sounds like you may have your calculation settings switched to 'Manual'. Under the Tools menu choose Options and then select the 'Calculation' tab. Change your 'Calculation' option to 'Automatic'.

I hope this helps.
