[Dropped] Average formula stopped working

Post by katintn »

My Average formula has quit working =C27/C28.
This just worked on Wednesday 3/4/2026, as of 3/6/2026 it is no longer calulating the avg of 2 cells indicated. This is being used in a score sheet of games played/won. Any ideas what happened?
Using Windows 11, Open Office version 4.1.16 that I did just download AFTER discovering the issue of formula not working. HELP PLEASE

Can you upload a sample file showing the problem?

Do you get the error #VALUE? If so, the "values" are in fact text. Use View | Value Highlighting to see; text cells are formatted in black, formulae in green, and number cells in blue.
