In my spreadsheet, the number displayed in the cell is not the result of the formula in the cell. For example, if the formula is 10 + 5, the displayed result should be 15. But the number displayed is not 15. If the cell is edited, the display changes to the result of the formula. The spreadsheet is on automatic calc. If it makes a difference, the cells were created by a macro.

The formula in cell c9 of tab A is: =if(current!$x9=0,"",current!c9/current!$x9). When current!c9=11,557 and current!x9=3,107,020, c9/x9=.0037196 but the number displayed in A!c9 is 2.30808. Cell c10 has the same formula copied down; when current!c10=15,879 and current!x10=2,766,635, c10/x10=.0057395 but the number displayed is 2.93708.

The cells in current! are linked to tab Historic!. If the values in Historic! are changed, the display in A! will be updated to display the result of the division. However, the cells in Historic! will not be changed when working with this spreadsheet.
