Hello guys/gals:

I am having a really, reaaallyyyy strange behaviour in some cells.
I had a formula there adding 2 to another cell which had a date. eg: =A1+2, where A1 had a value of 01/01/2009.
When I open the book again (this book is stored in the server, so it is shared and 3 people work on it) I <b>see</b> a value of 03/01/2009 in the cell but when I edit it with F2 I have the formula "=N/A" in it. This is even stranger, cause I have excel in spanish and the formula should say "=NOD()". Of course, if I hit [ENTER] I get an error cause "=N/A" is not a formula valid in the spanish version of Excel.
Has anybody dealed with something like this??
I am perplexed...
Thanks a lot for your time!
Greetings, Miguel.

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
I have experienced similar problems in the past basically it is your Excel is speaking English but your co-worker's Excel is speaking Spanish.

Going off my recollection here, but try reviewing your application's Language Settings (may need to install a language pack on your or your co-workers computer) and/or the Cell's Formatting Locale.

Hopefully finagling with those will fix your problem.
