hello,
I have a really bugging thing that keeps happening to me. On a specific
workbook, the word "calculate" appears at the bottom of the page. However
the
option is on automatic and even after I recalculate (F9) it is still
there.
I have tried with the following VBA when opening the workbook, but nothing
works. Any idea?
With Application
.Calculation = xlAutomatic
.MaxChange = 0.001
End With
ActiveWorkbook.PrecisionAsDisplayed = False
Calculate

Thanks
