calculations quit working

Our new network administrator tried to keep all company computers from going
on the internet, and in doing so he royally screwed up several spreadsheets
on my computer ... He eventually had to buy me a new computer, but one
spreadsheet still will not calculate ...

I've tried everything I know to get it to work ... All formula cells that
were calculating previous to his blooper still have data in them ... every
cell since then is not working ... and even with the new computer, the cells
don't formulate ...

HELP ...!!!

First try kicking the spreadsheet with CNTRL-ALT-F9

Hi Gary"s Student ... I had previously tried that ... and tried it again just
now ... no help

This spreadsheet is huge ... The main worksheet consists of rows and columns
of raw data ... then i have another worksheet that totals the raw data by
month/product and then certain yields ... this page reads the rows from the
first sheet by one certain column ... Then there are twelve worksheets of
charts, one for each month ...

I have been using this same basic spreadsheet for eight years and have had
no problems until now ... my second worksheet has calculated no data from the
first sheet since the day our new network admin took over ... (I'm still
wondering how the guy got the job ... LOL)

If you select one of these cells that is not calculating,
what do you see in the CELL?
What do you see in the Formula Bar?

Under Tools/Options/Calculations -- what is selected?

Are these non-calculating cells dependent on macros (either in the cell itself
or in a precedent cell)?

Under Tools/Macros/Security, what is the security level?

How do you know that it's not calculating?

If it's just the statusbar warning, maybe...

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=243495
XL: Calculate Message Remains in Status Bar If 65,536 Formula References

ps. What does "cells don't formulate" mean?

One more way that might "kick start" excel.

Select all the worksheets (click on the leftmost tab and shiftclick on the
rightmost tab),

then edit|replace
what: = (equal sign)
with: =
replace all

Then rightclick on any worksheet and ungroup the sheets.

I can see the formula and the cell says 0

If it's just the statusbar warning, maybe...
There is no status bar warning

The formula isn't working ... the cell shows 0 instead of what it should say

I just tried all that ... didn't work

I'm at my wit's end ... I sure don't want to recreate this whole thing ...
eeeeek

If you select that cell with the misbehaving formula, then hit F2 followed by
enter, does the 0 change to something else?

If no, maybe the formula is calculating correctly, but your data isn't what you
think it is (or your formula is pointing to the wrong data????)

What's octml?

Maybe:
=SUMIF(Flavor,"="&OctML,TheoryGals)/1.78125
or
=SUMIF(Flavor,OctML,TheoryGals)/1.78125

Don't panic. We can always take a single cell and debug it. You are getting
values from the formulae and not errors lik #N/A or #NAME. Next check the
named ranges to make sure they didn't get broken.
