Automatic Calculation Upon Change-way To Disable For Certain Cells Only?
Dec 12, 2011
I have several data validation style drop down menus, and I basically don't want excel to recognize changes in these cells and execute a calculation of the entire workbook. Since there is a large number of calculations being performed in the workbook the sheet gets really slow.
Overall the way excel "automatically calculates" really screws me up a lot. This built in functionality could be a lot smarter in my opinion.
Long Version: This should be a fairly simple question, with a solution involving unchecking a box somewhere, but I can't find it. Whenever I enter a number in parentheses (for example: "(187.13)") into a cell Excel automatically converts that number to a negative--- "(187.13)" becomes "-187.13". I've been using the apostrophe option as a workaround (i.e., '(187.13)) to store it as text instead of a number, but this is becoming a hassle because it recognizes that (187.13) is a number and alerts me with an error message of numbers being stored as text.
Short Version: Basically, I want it to stop automatically making "(187.13)" become "-187.13" but I don't know where the setting is.
I've created a bit of a monster Excel model taking in an enormous range of inputs and outputs. Most of the formulas are vlookups and sumif's. The workbook is now about 15meg. I've got autocalculate turned off because of the great deal of time it takes to recalculate. When I do try and re-calc some of the cells update but very many of them do not change at all. If I then go into these cells and edit them (F2 enter) the correct output is given! If I close the book and re-open it normally shows the correct outputs, after a while it goes back to the error above.
to change the way my chart is presented. Each time I recalculate the series the chart is updated with the new numbers…however because these numbers can be substantially bigger from the numbers of the previous series the chart gets extended (x axis shrinks or extends) to compensate for the different length of the numbers on eh Y-scale…I wonder this rescaling of the x axis can be disabled…I attached the sheet with the chart…
I have a Worksheet_Calculate Macro running in my workbook. I'd like to disable it temporarily when running another macro because its causing excel to run sluggishly.
In attached file, I need to find a way for "y" to be automatically calculated. But for that, "y" needs to first find out which equation to use, depending upon the corresponding entry in first column.
When i have automatic calculation on, excel freezes. When i push the escape key i get focus back to excel but then it nearly immediatley loses focus again. I have to keep hitting excel to navigate anywhere with excel. By turning calculations to manual it no longer freezes. Is there a way to identify whats causing this freeze, I went through and deleted nearly all events? Why would auto calculate freeze excel if no changes are being made to a formula?
I have largish workbooks (10MB) with a variety of formulas and lookups to generate tables and charts. Calculation is ALWAYS set to Automatic, but sometimes (not always) the formulas fail to update when values are changed. Sometimes F9 will force calculation, sometimes Ctrl + Alt + F9, sometimes (especially with charts) I have to close the workbook and reopen before they will update. The workbooks contain macros but none are running when this happens. A search of your forum indicated that this question has arisen several times before, but I haven't seen a definitive answer.
I am working in a fairly large worksheet, and I realized that when I make changes to it, sometimes some of the cells do no recalculate. The only way I can get them to recalculate is by clicking into the cell, and then hitting return.
The issue is that I don't know which ones are failing to recalculate unless I click into each individual cell and hit return to see if it changes. This would be logistically impossible given the size of my sheet.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?
I need to average data following the format below by average per week by week/store combination e.g. wk 1/store A average is 6.
Week Store Sales
1 A 7
[Code] ..
I can easily use SUMIFS to achieve this, but I have a large amount of data between the weeks of 1-52, a dozen different stores and I will be adding to this. I don't want to have to enter new SUMIFS every time I enter a new wk/store combination. How do I get this info to automatically calculate?
I have this problem where the SUM function is returning 0. The context is this- I am simulating values using RAND() and looking up the values corersponding to probabilities from a different tables. I then use the TRIM function to return the value I need, and the final number is of a "general" format.
This is the formula in the column I wish to sum:
And this is dragged down the column.
When I change the cells using =VALUE(cell) the SUM function then returns the required value. Oddly the SUMPRODUCT function seems to work.
Calculation is set to automatic and the cell has been formatted as a number.
I know how to turn off automatic and manual calculation modes manually in excel or through VB. But is there a way to make the automatic calculation mode ignore changes in certian cells? It would be good if you could right click on a cell and turn this on/off as an option. I assume I will have to code this in vb somehow, but I am a novice. Something like:
Sub test123() For Cells = Value.Range("I7:R22") Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Like I basically want part of my sheet to be set to manual calculation mode, and partially to automatic...
I have a table with rows that keep growing. But I have place formula in the whole of column F, i.e. F2:F66565. When I import information from MS Access into column A to E, the formula in F does not work, until I copy from F2 to the end manually. I have tried using Tools, Options, Calculation, Automatic. That doesn't work, I have also tried F9, that doesn't work and I have also tried checking Precision as Displayed under the calculation tax in Tools-Options, that doesn't work either.
I have workbooks in which summary tables are generated by lookup formulas. Tables are on different sheets but all use the same lookup value by referring to a cell on the 'master' sheet. The lookup value appears in cells on all sheets, by reference to the master sheet (e.g. [formula] = mastersheet!$B$2).
The master sheet contains the main summary table and is copied and detached for distribution, using a macro. For practical reasons, this is done in two stages, first copying the sheet within the workbook (to make minor alterations), then moving it to a new book to save and distribute.
This is where the problem arises. After the sheet has been detached, we find that if we now change the lookup value on the master sheet in the original file, the tables on that sheet will update normally, but the cells on other sheets remain frozen at the previous value and the tables on those sheets do not update.
The only way round the problem is by Shift + Ctrl + Alt + F9. (Maybe I should add that all my workbooks are always set to automatic calculation.)
The macro itself is not the cause of the problem; if we follow the same procedure manually, the result is the same. However, if we move the sheet in one step, eliminating the intermediate copying stage, the problem does not arise. But this is evading the problem, not solving it, and I would be reluctant to have to resort to this.
The original problem remains as stated, viz. failure of automatic calculation.
Is there any way, in which i can make my code dynamic?? For example, in a code written in VBA, there is a reference to particular sheet, say "ABC". If i change the name from "ABC" to "ABCD" from excel, the underlying code should change automatically from "ABC" to "ABCD".
I have a cell that has a formula in it- "=IF(C13="","",VLOOKUP(C13,DATA,2,)).
Right now it works fine and returns a value of either "NANN" or "HZ". Which is fine.
But, what I would like it to do is, if the result equals "NANN", I would like the result to display "BURLINGTON". Or, if the result equals "HZ", I would like the result to display "CONOCOPHILLIPS".
i am trying to make one cell automatically change to current date and time when the cell next to it has changed value. ive search other posts but cannot figure this out. so if cell A1 changes value cell B1 should automatically fill with current date and time cell A1 changed value.
I'm in the process of trying to get a macro to run when one cell, named "ImpVersion" changes.
Here's what I've got so far.
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = Range("ImpVersion").Address Then Call Implement End If 0: End Sub
The problem I'm having is that ImpVersion doesn't always exist, as it is only added in when it's needed. When ImpVersion doesn't exist, I get a 1004 error.
At work I have a register/log. Its just a printout of a standard format in excel sheet. I print a month of sheets at a time and write the day and date on it by hand at the top. Is there some formula in excel by which it prints the dates as well in a progressive manner. Eg. If today is 29th May 2014 and today I print 30 copies of the register/log. The first copy has todays date on it and the the next one had tomorrows date....and the 30th copy automatically has the end of April 2014 printed on it.
I've found this code but cannot get it to work.
My workbook is called Shift Log, the worksheet is called v2 and I'm using Excel from MS Office Professional Plus 2010 (32bit)
#Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Sh As Object, _ ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) Dim sDate, i retryDate: sDate = InputBox("Enter the starting date, or click 'OK'" & _ " for the current date", "Start Date")
I want to create an automatic page break at each value change in Column A, and also a page footer that "restarts" at each change in the same column. For example, I would like a "Page x of y" footer, but I don't want "Page 1 of 3,500", I want "Page 1 of 3", etc...every time that Column A value changes.
I'm using excel 2000 and I just noticed something and am unsure how to change. I guess early on my building of a workbook I accidentally left calculation to manual. I would like to change calculations to automatic on permanent basis. I keep changing it and it changes back to manual after I close then reopen the workbook. I would prefer to change permanently to automatic....Any ideas would be a bonus. On all new workbooks I can save in automatic but I cannot change from manual to automatic.
I am looking for a vba where by the default colour of the font for new text typed in any cell of a workbook change to green or red and the default black automatic becomes secondary. The existing text in the workbook in its existing font colour must not change i.e stays in black or red.
I have a set of procedures that require auto recalc to be on to work correctly. I've tried application.volatile and Application.CalculateFull with no luck. I'm trying to put together code that makes sure recalc is on, but that first determines the current recalc status and then changes it back to Manual when necessary. I don't know how to determine the current status. The following code should work if the red sections are fixed.
Sub TempAuto() Dim CurrentState As unknown CurrentState = Application.Calculation status Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic If CurrentState = Manual Then Application.Calculation = xlManual End If End Sub
