Okay, I updated it to use the 2-500 (e.g. =SUMIF(D$2:D$500,BJ4,J$2:J$500)/2000) in the formula and the number of rows that contain data are through 575 and still the same thing, the formula doesn't execute until I click on it and press Enter. Hmmm... very peculiar. With this change some of the formulas now contain a value of zero since the data is only available through to row 500, but that is to be expected.

Does anyone have any insight on why this occurring? Shouldn't the formulas work once you open up the spreadsheet or am I missing something.

Thanks for your input.

Just to give full disclosure: I found that the spreadsheet needed to be updated to force formula calculations when opened. The way I did this was to right click on a tab and then "View Code". Once that opened, I clicked on "ThisWorkbook" and found the attribute "ForceFullCalculation" was set to "False", so I changed it to "True" and saved the spreadsheet and voila it worked like a charm.

Thanks everyone for your input.
