Hello Experts.

This morning, my autofill is no longer working properly. I have simple data in Column A, all USD currency values from A1 to A110. In Column B, I want to multiply values in column A by 1.3 from A1 down. Normally, the values in B would reflect the unique value in each adjacent A cell multiplied by 1.3. Instead, AutoFill is copying the B1 value, all the way down, as if the formula was =$A$1 * 1.3, instead of =A1*1.3.

This is new. I did not have this issue yesterday and I've not made any modifications.

I've checked Options > Advanced and all the correct boxes are checked. I've tried changing data type to Number; doesn't help.

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
What happens if you press F9?
If that fixes it, then your Calculation mode is probably set to "Manual" and not "Automatic".

@Joe4 Thank you. This was the issue. My company does system-wide updates and must have changed to manual in last update.
