SYMPTOMS
If you create a data table in a worksheet, Microsoft Excel may stop recalculating it when you save, close, and then reopen the workbook that contains the worksheet.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if the data table references cells that contain the RAND worksheet function.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, press CTRL+ALT+F9.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows, Service Release 1.



MORE INFORMATION
A data table is a range of cells that shows how changing certain values in formulas affects the results of the formulas. Data tables allow you to calculate multiple versions in one operation and view and compare the results of all the different variations together on a worksheet.
