Automatic Calculation Causes Freeze?
Oct 8, 2013
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?

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.
would somebody know how to do it ?
I was trying vlookup, but couldn't.

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.

Is there a way of using VBA to check which calculation option is on - "automatic" or "manual" ?

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 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.

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.

I have a macro which I recorded, then modified. The first thing it does is to freeze the top row, then it goes looking for a particular row and inserts some formulae. Nothing complicated at all.
It WAS working perfectly, but I wanted some improvements in the insertion of the formulae. I got that working just fine, but now the panes freeze in the wrong place. No matter what I do, it freezes at cell I16. I want only the top row frozen.
Found this code which was reported to work:
PHP Code:
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = False Range("A1").Select ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
It still freezes at I16. I have tried shutting down Excel, and even my computer, in case it is some weird bug where something is stuck in memory.
I tried recording another macro to format some cells and also freeze the top row. Same result.
PHP Code:
Sub wraptext_top_row()'' wraptext_top_row Macro''
Rows("1:1").Select With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
[Code] ..........
Same result. I tried copying the contents of the worksheet to Notepad, then into a fresh workbook, just in case there's some weird hangup in formatting that I can't see.
There is NOTHING in the original code that references that cell, or even that row or column. NOTHING. How it got hung up on that one cell I cannot fathom.
The Freeze Panes command works normally if I apply it manually. Any cell, anywhere, it works as expected.

which will calculate value of a cell when one of the variables has been changed?
To illustrate what I have in mind, an ecxample:
* User can add values to cells using UserForm
- Component name (to Cell "A1")
- Component price (to Cell "B1")
- Component quantity (to Cell "C1")
[Code]....

I have multiple sheets as part of my excel calculations which refer to the first sheet in the group. Each one calculates different values for me based on the numbers I put into the sheet.
So to put in these numbers, I insert new rows to the start of the sheet which is what I always want it to calculate. Some of the calculations are comparative to other points from my original page. So I might ask it to go back and compare to 3 months ago or 6 months ago.
Long story short, when I insert those new rows, the formula on the other pages shift down to stay on the previous days data. How can I lock it in so it stays focused on just the cell I tell it to reguardless of how I move those cells around. So when i hit insert, I still want it focused on that sheets A1 and NOT A2.
I attempted to look up the help section but since I am having a hard time putting this into words, help was not much "help".

when ever it runs it brings up the print preview of the correct sheet (looks just like i wanted) but the vba object stays infront of the print preview window and locks up i cannot close it and cannot access the print preview window because it is blocked by the vba object even though i can see the print preview in the backbround.
i have tried asding "unload me" after the "activesheet.printpreview" line but does not make any differnce i end up having to close excel via task manager and reopen it.
Private Sub cmdPrtPreview_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Sheets("invoice").Select

I am wanting to freeze the first column on my spreadsheet (easy) but also the top few rows. Every time I try (am using 2007) it seems to make a strange selection where it splits the screen exactly into 4 equal parts rather than just the first column and top 4 rows.

Is there a way to freeze specific panes? I know that you can use freeze panes to freeze cells to the left and above a specified cell but I am trying to freeze specific cells. For instance I want to freeze cells A1 through K25 so that when I scroll up everything else scrolls up and when I scroll right everything else scrolls right?

I would like to freeze multiple rows, that are NOT together in the spreadsheet. For example. Rows 1-3 are always frozen, but the 4 row that is frozen will vary on where the user is in the spreadsheet. The last row (4th row) in the freeze pane is variable. If I am between rows 1-100 I want rows 1,2,3, and 5 frozen, if I am between rows 100-200, i want rows 1,2,3,101 frozen.
I have multiple tables with different headings in one spreadsheet. My heading for table from row 6-99 is in row 5, and my heading for table 102-200 is in 101.

This code does not work the way I expect it to. Presently it just causes Excel to freeze.
The idea is that if you double-click a cell within the CurrentRegion (starting at A1) that AutoFilters will be applied and the selection criteria will be the target value:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim MyRng As Range
Dim MyCol As Long
Set MyRng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
MyCol = Target.Column
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, MyRng) Is Nothing Then
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
MyRng.AutoFilter Field:=MyCol, Criteria1:=Target.Value, Operator:=xlFilterValues
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

I've had this workbook freeze during a perpetual dynamic web query for quite some time now and have mentioned in a few previous posts while trying to elimnate probable causes.
Nothing suggests anymore it's codes or structre of the codes in Excel or even physical memory issues.
Symptoms as best as I can describe.
It only seems to happen when observing some extra internet activity due to the icons flashing on the task bar, in a split second.
For example, perhaps; auto-update checks, browser pop ups when logged in to a secure web site, or I even suspect maybe some sort of Ping, yet it's part of the overall standard operation of Wndows OS Ping.
From my intense observations it's always when the 2 TCP icons on the task bar flash an extra "beat".
Hope this makes sense in trying to describe a cause or symptom.
The nature of this glitch happens on all computers in both Office 2000 and now 2003 versions of Excel.
Fresh install of the entire OS has been done with standard Installation and a fresh re-insatll of Office,with or without security softwares etc.
It's always exactly the same, it will freeze at the precise moment the flashing icons is not the regualr sync. during the perpetual web query process.
It will freeze all worksheets, meaning I have to Close and Re-open the Workbook and it's ok till it happens again.
Where to now with this glitch, or would it have something to do with certain port settings?
