[Year 12 IT Apps] Bad, Excel. Bad!

[Mark Kelly]

A curious problem with Excel.  Please play with the attached file.

It seems Excel thinks it knows better than I do about what formulas 
should be, and I can't work how how to stop it.  Something to do with 
its 'advanced formula error' fixing, I guess.  Very annoying!

To try it out, just put "1" into each of the shaded cells and watch what 
happens to the formula for the total of section A!

Any ideas for fixes?

TIA
Mark
