Excel Current Calculation Mode
You can use this form to view and change Excel’s current calculation status and settings.
By default the current Excel calculation mode applies to all the open workbooks. Also all the open workbooks are recalculated, not just one
|
Excel’s default calculation mode is at the Excel session level. This means that Excel will use the same calculation mode for all open workbooks, regardless of the calculation mode that was saved with an individual workbook.
Whenever Excel calculates the default behavior is to calculate all the open workbooks, rather than just the active workbook
|
Automatic
Formulas are recalculated automatically whenever anything changes so that the workbook(s) are always calculated.
Automatic except Tables
Similar to automatic except that Excel Data Tables are not automatically calculated. This can be useful with large workbooks because Excel Data Tables cause multiple calculations of the workbook.
Manual
The status bar will also show “Calculate” if there are circular references or ForceFullCalculation has been turned on.
|
Formulas are only recalculated when the user requests it by pressing F9 or the FastExcel recalculate button. When the workbook is not completely calculated the status bar shows “calculate”.
|
Recalculate before save.
If in Manual mode checking this option will cause Excel to recalculate uncalculated formulas in the workbook each time it is saved.
