Description John C. Tan 2003-04-10 22:25:08 UTC
If you downfill a formula into more than 9 rows in an existing workbook and 
save it, the formulas will contain #REF!.  This also occurs if you downfill a 
row containing a formula to more than 6 rows.  I used the BiffViewer and the 
length of the recsize and expression length does not seem to be correct when 
the error occurs.  They are off by 6 bytes.  This causes the formula record to 
be interpreted into a ExpPtg instead of a MultiplyPtg.  I can provide example 
excel files if needed.

That's next on my todo list.  How do you downfill in Excel (Im not a user, just
a dealer)?

Thanks

You can select the cell or row with the formula and then move the cursor to the 
lower right corner.  When the cursor changes to a thin black plus sign, you can 
drag it into the following rows.
