Excel 2016 for Mac does not recalculate

Anonymous

I have a multiple-sheet workbook that does not recalculate after I update some cells. It would only recalculate after I save and then reopen it. My Excel preferences is set to automatic recalculate. After I change the value of cells, the workbook does not recalculate even after I press the F9 key. I have tried Command+F9 to no avail. The workbook had a data connection and I had deleted it. The version is 15.12.3. Any idea what I can do?

ref my earlier question I found an answer that worked:

Why does my formula not calculate in Excel?

Instead the text of the formula itself appears in the cell directly. See example below. Cause: The cell is formatted as Text, which causes Excel to ignore any formulas. This could be directly due to the Text format, or is particularly common when importing data from a CSV or Notepad file

I copied the data from the original import worksheet into a fresh worksheet and the formulas worked fine

As Anthony noted, version 15.26 (160903) does contain the fix. This version has now been released to all audiences. Please make sure your Office is up to date and this problem should be resolved.

Thank you all for your patience and persistence!

Does seem to be better in the latest update, but I have the same issue. On sheet I can go to a sum function where it is not updating and edit it and close that cell and it will update.
