Excel is behaving strangely for no apparent reason.
My Excel has recently begun to bog down and even freeze up after performing
simple functions such as calculating formulae or drag-filling. Speaking of drag-filling, sometimes it will fill the same text in all cells that I am dragging through instead of filling a formula progressively throughout. Any ideas why this might be happening? I recently loaded similar workbooks written in different versions of Excel onto a USB drive and downloaded them onto my computer to work on them. Might this be the cause and, if so, is there a cure. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
I would recommend running "Detect & Repair" from under the Help menu option. -- Cheers JulieD julied_ng at hctsReMoVeThIs dot net dot au "canyondude" wrote: My Excel has recently begun to bog down and even freeze up after performing simple functions such as calculating formulae or drag-filling.

This may sound simple, but have you cleaned your Temp Internet files (including
offline) and cleaned out all of your TEMP directories? This can cause Excel to bog at times.

Thank you Lady Layla. I appreciate you taking the time to post.
I have cleared my IE temp files, but I'm not sure that I know how to clear the Temp Directories. Can you instruct me please? Thanks.
