I think what you've done is set one of your previous rows as the column headers - that would explain both why it is reading another number as you move, AND why it's not reading the cell headers you expect.  Either go back to the first cell with cell headers, and press NVDA+control+c twice quickly to remove the header,  OR press CONTROL+F3 to open the names manager, and remove any from the current worksheet with names like "ColumnTitle_d7cd3b3b417b4fcdbebe4c26720205cc"

Hi Robert,

 

It’s from a prior cell.

When you say it speaks a prior number is this the number from the previous cell or the top of the column or row?

Hi All,

 

I am using the latest windows 10 and nvda.  I am using excel 2016. 

I created a spreadsheet to track my blood pressure but when I go to enter a number nvda speaks a prior number.  Is there a setting I need to change?  Also I have nvda set to announce headers but, it doesn’t do it.  Thanks for any help.
