i keep getting errors on the status column of my worksheet that has no formulas and only consists of a dropdown list.

when i click on error restore to calculated formula i get a randbetween function populating my cell with numbers

the worksheet works perfectly fine even with the errors as i have iterative calculations enabled, but when i sent it to my boss he keeps getting the error message and he said it wont be practical to ask 20+ users to go into their settings to help resolve the issue.

any workarounds?

i am unable to share my worksheet as I am on a work device so any help would be great

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)

In that case there is a formula in there somewhere, you need to find it & remove it.

They will have to go into their settings to enable iterative calculation.
