Function
- Microsoft Excel may not recalculate correctly when you have two or more
cells that are dependent through a formula to another specific cell. If
a number in the source cell is changed, recalculation may not occur in
the other cells that are dependent on this source cell.
The patch, which is for use only with Microsoft Excel 7.0, modifies
Microsoft Excel so that the above problems no longer occur. A separate
patch is available for Microsoft Excel 5.0c.
