Go to Formulas, click on Calculation Option and select “Automatic Except for Data Tables”.Īfter we’ve taken a look at the different methods, let’s put them together in one table. Besides that, you can decide, if data tables (probably 99% of Excel workbooks don’t have them…) should be recalculated.There is no sign-up or installation needed, just download and activate it within Excel. We included such function in our Excel add-in ‘Professor Excel Tools’. You can try it for free. If you only want to calculate a selection of cells/ cell range only, you have to look for a third party solution.

So, when you have the feeling that some formulas aren’t showing correct results, you can force Excel to recalculate the whole workbook by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F9. If you only press F9, all changes formulas and following cells will be updated.For only calculating the current sheet: In the manual mode, press Shift + F9 or go to Formulas and click on Calculate Sheet.


When on manual calculation mode: Keep calm and press F9.
