Problem with cell position change randomly
Hello Friends,
I am facing problem of cell position change while referencing to a different worksheet within a workbook. For example, I have a data in sheet1, and I wanted to refer to this data in sheet2. I moved the pointer to cell A1 in sheet2 and typed "=sheet1! A10". I get the answer in cell A40, or G36, or random cell in sheet2, but not in cell A1 of sheet2. This is not an issue of absolute or relative reference. I have been using excel since long time but never faced this kind of problem. It happened today.
I contacted MS support team; they suggested account update and repair Office 365. But both did not work. Appreciate your kind advice.
- Jack_BDMNCopper ContributorThis could indicate a potential bug or compatibility issue within the software. It might be helpful to provide further details such as the version of Excel you're using and any recent updates or changes made to the workbook or system configuration, as this could aid in diagnosing and resolving the issue.
- Rabin333025Copper ContributorThank you for you quick advise. I managed to resolve this issue today morning.
First, I opened the excel in safe mode and noted that my issue is resolved. Thereafter, I removed all the add-ins; and it worked. So, this problem seems to be due to incompatibility of excel and add-in. I would say my problem is resolved temporarily and hope it will work when I start to add the add-in slowly. I hope MS excel team will work on this issue and develop updates and patch-up etc as needed.
