Refreshing calculations ChrisM 28.09.2006 17:53:02 I have created a workbook with several worksheets and the formulas do not calculate unless it is changed on the computer where the workbook was created.

Re: Refreshing calculations Gord Dibben <gorddibbATshawDOTca> 28.09.2006 18:05:12 Perhaps it would be good to check the Calculation mode of the Excel on the other computer(s). Excel takes the Calculation mode each session from the settings on the first workbook opened in that session. i.e. If you saved Book1 with calc mode in manual and opened it first, calc mode would be in Manual. If you saved Book2 with calc mode in auto and opened it after Book1, Book2 would be in manual mode(Excel ignores the auto calc mode in this case). If you close Book1 before opening Book2, Book2 will be in auto calc mode. Confusing enough? <g> Maybe on the other computer a file is being opened that sets the calc mode to "manual" Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 28 Sep 2006 10:53:02 -0700, ChrisM <ChrisM[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: [Quoted Text] >I have created a workbook with several worksheets and the formulas do not >calculate unless it is changed on the computer where the workbook was created.

Re: Refreshing calculations ChrisM 28.09.2006 18:13:01 I wish it were that but I did check the settings. I've attempted on three other computers with the same version of excel and same settings. Any other ideas?

Re: Refreshing calculations Gord Dibben <gorddibbATshawDOTca> 28.09.2006 18:21:10 Do you get any errors or just "not calculating"? I'm thinking maybe you have some User Defined Functions from an add-in that the other computers don't have loaded. Or you have the Analysis Toolpak add-n loaded and others have not.

Re: Refreshing calculations ChrisM 29.09.2006 12:53:02 There are no errors, it simply will not change the totals. The worksheets contain data for individuals and the master sheet contains SUMIF calcuations. The calculation works if the document is opened on the PC where the spreadsheet was created and we have tried it on multiple PC's. The set-up is identical for all PC's containing the software. I appreciate your suggestions.

Re: Refreshing calculations "Niek Otten" <nicolaus[ at ]xs4all.nl> 29.09.2006 13:09:19 Hi Chris, Still I'm almost convinced it is the Calculation setting. Load the workbook on one of the other computers and then (not before) check Tools>Options, Calculation tab -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "ChrisM" <ChrisM[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0927FC4E-A57C-413B-AC45-297A62753A39[ at ]microsoft.com... | There are no errors, it simply will not change the totals.
