Default Running macro operations in serial fashion

Is it possible to create a macro that performs an operation, waits
for calculations to end and then moves onto the next operation in the
macro in serial fashion ?

I'm trying to automate a "calculate and export to text file"
process that takes hours to finish.

The goal is to run a single macro that allows me to walk away from
the entire process instead of waiting for each set of calculations to
end and manually starting the next operation.

For example, a worksheet has 1,000 cells where each contains a
formula. Additionally, the worksheet contains a macro that performs
the following:

1) Changes an argument in the formula in each of the 1,000
cells, i.e., =SUM(A1,1) where the value in A1 is changed

2) Waits for calculations to end

3) Exports the worksheet to a text file

4) Changes the same argument again (A1) to another value

5) Waits for calculations to end

6) Exports the worksheet to a text file
