Looking at the formula syntax, it shows: IF(if-expression, if-true, if-false) So, I type IF( A1>A2, A1, A2) I get the following error message: 'This formula can’t reference its own cell, or depend on another formula that references this cell.' I also tried MAXA(A1, A2) with the same error message. Any help is appreciated. Here are some statistics that might be helpful. OS 10.11.3 Numbers 3.6.1.

Circular references arise in an Excel financial model when a first cell feeds into the result of a second cell, but the first cell also depends on the result of the second.

The recalc thing makes sense (it waits to recalc until the keying has quieted down) except that often I can enter a few values slowly (so, presumably allowing a recalc) and it won't trip the error. Beside the one that always happens at first, there is some other factor that determines whether it happens or not, that I'm not seeing, but feels cadence-based, which makes no sense at all. I tried to set up a small test sheet with cells that do the same VLOOKUP and couldn't get it to happen. Unfortunately, the entered data is also propogated (via = statements) to other sheets in the book, which do their own similar VLOOKUPs, so it might be a matter of the quantity of those. I'll have to set up an example workbook that crosses as many sheets, to see if I can get that to do it. Duncan fro.@officeformac.com 4/2/2008, 13:21 น.

I am glad I came across them, which I did when googling trying to learn how to add today’s date to an Excel chart. I know how to get most of what I want by making the chart title point to a cell set up like this: =”Sales this year to date as of “&TODAY() but the bad news is that what shows up is Sales this year to date as of 41786 Any the instruction on how to do this (or pointing me to the right thread) will be appreciated 🙂 • Barbara says.
