I am on a Mac running OS 10.4.11. Whenever I launch Excel 2008, I have to go to Preferences and set Calculation to automatic.
Then Excel calculates automatically until the next time I launch the program. Then I find it has defaulted back to manual.
I'm trying to turn calculation to manual, but there does not seem to be an Options button under tools on the mac I'm using. I've checked another mac and it is also missing. I'll probably end up using a pc for the calculations anyway, but I was wondering if anyone knew what was up?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to make excel 2007 pop up a warning whenever calculation is set to manual by a macro or any other means? I have on several occasions noticed formulas not working, only to discover that calculation was set to manual without me noticing. And then I don't know how much of my work may have been afffected. This seems like a pretty vital piece of information, and I am surprised that it's not made more obvious.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am trying to calculate the present value of a terminal period in Excel. The manual calculation and excel PV function are off by about $98,000. Both calculations are using the same capitalization rate and terminal life. My PV Excel formula is as follows: =PV(discount rate-growth rate,remaining term (years),-terminal cash flow,,0)*present value factor in last year of cash flow) What is causing the difference in values? Is there something in the Excel formula that is causing the difference?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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
Is there a way that I can set a single worksheet in a workbook to always be on manual calculation, but keep all other sheet in the workbook set to automatic?
I want to be able to open the workbook, any calculations to perform automatically and then i will select the 'manual' sheet and perform these calculations manually. I also need to these settings to always apply each time i open the workbook.
In as much as I would like to heed the advice of this site to avoid setting excel calculation to MANUAL, I think I have no choice this time. I have a file that uses a lot of SUMPRODUCT(--) and array formulas. DSUM would have been faster but this file I am working on will be sent to users who barely knows excel. When they need to insert rows, the DSUM criteria will have to be reestablished and I do not think they are capable of that. Anyway...when calculcation is set to manual, all excel does to warn users is the little test "Calculate" in the status bar. What I would have liked is that a red button with text "CLICK TO REFRESH" to appear when calculcation is needed i.e. status bars is showing "Calculate".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 want a specific workbook to be always on manual but when I open other workbooks I want them to remain on automatic even though the first workbook is set on manual through vba code. Is that possible to be done?
This is the code I run:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
With Application
.Calculation = xlManual
.MaxChange = 0.001
.CalculateBeforeSave = False
[Code] .....
I know that Application. Calculation refers to all open workbooks but I don't know the code to specify the manual calculation to this workbook only while others are open.
I have created a data entry spreadsheet for staff.
I need to format all data entry field to uppercase.
I have a spreadsheet that contains a list of email addresses. If I click in the cell that contains the email address it automatically launches my email software and this is about to drive me nuts. Is there a way to stop Excel from automatically launching the email program.
I work in a college and I use this list to send out information to the students I work with. I select the student I need, then I copy and paste their email addresses to my email program. Sometimes I need to update their address or I may have entered it wrong.
When I click on the address cell, it automaically opens my email program or if the program is already open, it starts a new email to the student. I guess this could also be in my email program and if so, is there a way in Excel to make this just look like text and no an email address. It appears that the minute you put an @ symbol in something it automatically becomes an email address. Could that default be turned off.
Filling out time sheets and the first number i'll put in will always fall in the AM. and the second number i fill in will always be a time in the PM.
What i want is to be able to just put a 8 in the cell and have it default to 8:00 AM then the next cell to place just a 5 and have it defautl to 5:00 PM.
When typing in 500 of these cutting out the extra 3 key strokes a cell could save me a lot of time. Would be a lot simpler to type in 8 rather than having to type in 8:00 AM.
I have created an item on the menu bar (called “Personal Macros”) to run a number of macros in a spreadsheet. Under the menu bar I am trying to create two ControlPopups (called “Grouping Preference 01” and “Grouping Preference 02”).
For each ControlPopup, I am trying to add Control Buttons to the right, which will run the macros assigned. For Grouping Preference 01, add Macro 1 and Macro 2 as control buttons. For Grouping Preference 01, add Macro 3 and Macro 4 as control buttons
I have code to create the new menu, add popups, and add control buttons but it is not working as expected. The current code is placing all four macro control buttons under the same ControlPopup. I want the control buttons for macros 1 & 2 under one popup and the control buttons for macros 3 & 4 under another popup.
When I print, can I have the [VBA?] preferences not to print D16:E16?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a couple of Excel problems.
1. I have a SQL query that returns a time span. Is there any way Excel can convert, for example, 51.9451388888889 into dd.hh:mi format that still allows me to manipulate the data as time so that I can add times together and compare times. So I would like the number above to be formatted to look like this '51.22:41' and still be able to work with it as if it was just a regular time.
2. I want to make a graph from this data I have (the data in the question above). The data has this output format:
A ----B-----C
Date-time ( dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi)----- Time span -------- Reason
I would like to make a graph that displays for each month the 5 highest Timespans on the y-axis and their reasons on the x-axis.
Is there way we can save the layout and other preferences / settings (and there are a huge no of those in excel) to a file or can we copy out the file where excel saves this data ? Probably a User Interface folder or something ? This is so that when i do a fresh reinstall of MS OFFICE i dont want to spend so much time resetting the customizations ive created over time.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a master page with A1 containing the names of staff members and then 5 columns indicating preference1 .... preference5. Each preference column will have one 4 digit site code i.e. 8156 entered. I will have 64 worksheets matching all potential 4 digit site codes that could be entered in the preferences columns.
SAMPLE - one staff member entering 5 site codes (A1 to A6)
Billy Bloggs - 8124 - 8456 - 8456 - 8123 - 8882
What I am looking for is a way to autocopy the persons name to the appropriate worksheet and into the correct preference column as I enter the 4 digit code against the staff members name on the master sheet.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that transfer data from one sheet to another (I have sheets called Form and Sent). Basically, the users enters data in the Form Sheet. After they're done, the data gets transferred to the Sent Sheet. I don't want users to be able to modify the data in the Sent sheet. I just want them to see the records. Also, i want the sheet protected from having users manually inputting datas. I can't accomplish this when I protect the sheet, since it is giving me an error while running the macro to transfer data. Is there a workaround?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have what I'd thought would be a simple problem, but I haven't yet been able to track down an answer. I am trying to manually rank a list (column) of players' names. What I'd like to be accomplish is something to the effect of being able to enter a value for a single player, then have the cells resort themselves AND update the list.
Example:
RANK PLAYER NAME
1 Jon
2 Jim
3 Joe
4 Jack
5 Jane
I'd like to be able to manually change A5, for example, to 2 and then have the list update itself to read:
RANK PLAYER NAME
1 Jon
2 Jack
3 Jim
4 Joe
5 Jane
I've toyed with macros that took care of the sorting piece but I'm still left with duplicate numbers (ranks) that I must then manually change and/or fill down. There are over 500 entries (rows) so this can become a bit tiresome.

This is probably a really stupid question, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I need to do some very basic filtering, but the dropdown box where you check off the things that you want to filter by is not defaulting to show checkboxes. This didn't seem like a big deal at first, but it's made it impossible to filter all but one things. For instance, to filter everything but values that are 0, I would have to manually click every single value in the dropdown box. Clicking "select all" is doing literally nothing. It's this way for all my excel documents. how to get the boxes back? I've included a screenshot of what comes up whenever I click on the manual filter button to show what is coming up.
I have an action that deletes a row, and decrements rows counter by one. But, if the user manually deletes one row, I don't get that information (decrementation). Workbook pretection is out of the option.
What are my choices?
I was thinking, is it possible to capture a delete event in general, and add some code to it? Or maybe even completely disable it?
I am thinking that I must have something set up wrong some place, but have not done anything that should have changed my formulas
Its not that they are gone but just are not auto calculating.
I tried just a basic sample invoice and the figures do not calculate without manual calclation
I have a pivot table and if i select my headers i have the availability to sort a-z and z-a plus manual ...manual says to drag the item where i would like it... I have tried the excel database..they reference manual sort but really give no explanation.
Scenario.. I want to sort a-z.. then manual sort a few items to the top of the list..
I always use manual calculation with Excel, does it affect the calculation within a Macro when I run it?
