I just figured out that this existed (=PROPER to change fields that are capitalized, so that the first letter of each word is capitalized), yay! But am having the dumbest issue with it: my workbook displays the formula, not the result. :confused:

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying

If it is happening with all formulas then Formula tab then click Show Formulas.
Also check if the cell is formatted as text rather than General.

Odd. I did check that the Show Formulas was deselected. I just retyped the formula, and suddenly, it worked. The same thing happened when I tried to use this function again in a different column. Thanks very much!

That sounds like you had a space in front the = sign to or your calculation is set to manual.
