Vlookup does not auto update - help

[jackt05]

Hi,

I have 2 different workbooks and get values through Vlookup.

but when I change the value in a certain cell it does not get updated in the second workbook.

I have to press F2 on the cell then browse the file, and then it updates.

Any ideas or suggestions.

and Yes the calculations are set to automatic not manual,

I searched many threads but none got the solution.

Thanks All.

Hi,

=VLOOKUP(A2,'F:\Alpha Fleet\Billing\Cab Bill\Aug 14\[MIS_Aug 14_Final.xlsx]Bill All Cabs'!$A$2:$B$62,2,0)

This is the formula

Any other formula to instead of Vlookup

Is there a macro in the worksheet that could be causing this?

 

[jackt05]

No macros enabled in both the sheets

Is the other workbook OPEN?

I think you have two different instance of excel. Close the file and open using File > open option.

 

[jackt05]

Yes vds1 one file is in compatibility mode

does that effect
