    • Consider the following scenario:
      • A workbook contains an array. This problem occurs only with some arrays.
      • The array is used in formulas that are either part of a circular reference or in formulas that depend on a circular reference. 
      • The workbook is calculated with iterative calculation enabled.
      In this scenario, some results may be incorrect.

      To make sure that accurate results are returned, force a full recalculation of the formulas in the workbook. To do this, press Ctrl+Alt+F9, or force full recalculation programmatically by using the object model.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
