I'm a long time excel user, but something odd is now happening to data I'm summing across rows. I have columns but sum across rows for total of labor and material. When I go to move column data B out of the sum range in column C, =sum(A1:B1) the sum column C changes as shown. below. And every time I move the number it keeps changing?? Have I changed some setting, I've been doing this for years, perplexed.
