FRx has to know which calculation should prevail, and defaults to the CALC in the column (meaning calculation priority is set to ‘calculate rows first’).

Makes sense that if D=C1360 was the only calculation in this example, you wouldn’t have to change the default priority. Thanks for pointing that out…Jan

Good post. I just wanted to clarify one thing …

You only need to change the calculation priority to columns first if there’s an intersection of row and column calculations. In the example above, if you were setting column D=C1360, you would not need to change the calculation priority because there’s only one calculation. However, because you’re setting column E’s value and column E is a CALC column, FRx needs to know which of the conflicting calculations should take priority (i.e., which should happen first). It’s a little strange, but that’s the way it works.

Hope that helps.
