Excel Cells Don't Refresh Unless Scrolled

Post by pwj123 »

Hi All,
New to forum. Vexing issue: Randomly, the cells in Excel will not show updated calculations unless I scroll up and down to manually refresh the screen. This has been scary a few times, in that I have had discussions with clients as I adjust a spreadsheet, and the data is not showing correctly. never had this issue ever before. Using 365 with new Dell laptop. Any experience with this issue? Thanks!

Welcome to Eileen's Lounge!

That is a tricky problem - it has been reported on other forums, without a definite resolution.
Do you have lots of applications open when the problem occurs?
Best wishes,
Hans

Thank you Hans. I just noticed that Adobe pdfs seem to "scrunch" the image at times until I scroll up and down. Hmm, that would seem to be a Windows or a Dell problem maybe?

Meaning I also see the issue with Adobe at times.

It might be a problem with the graphics of the laptop (it might be integrated with the motherboard or a separate graphics card). See if there is an update for the graphics driver.
Best wishes,
