Drag and what?

Heya,

I think I've tried all the obvious solutions that may solve this but something still seems to be amiss.

In Cell C29 the formula reads =B29-D29
This is then dragged in the base right corner to the cell below

Normally this would result in the cell below reading =B30-D30
Instead I get =B29-D29

I've checked "Allow Drag and Drop" is enabled, that the format is Accounting not Text and that other formulas drag as expected.

On other worksheets in the same workbook this also occurs in the majority of cells, but this is a workbook that has worked fine for months....till now.

If C30 is selected directly and the contents highlighted (as if you were going to type in it) then press Return, no problems, the contents change to =B30-D30.

Confused, any ideas appreciated (without reinstalling excel)

Thanks

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
