Default Calculating Cells n% message in Status bar

I'm currently working with an Excel 2003 file. it contains 3 sheets and most
of the sheets contains 9424 rows of data. One sheet has the following
formulas:
=VLOOKUP(A2,V1_Forecast_Version!$A$1:$F$9241,1,0)
=VLOOKUP(A2,V1_Forecast_Version!$A$1:$F$9241,2,0)
=IF(VLOOKUP(A2,V1_Forecast_Version!$A$1:$F$9241,3, 0)="","",VLOOKUP(A2,V1_Forecast_Version!$A$1:$F$92 41,3,0))

The problem is that when I copy and paste data from one sheet to another
Excel displays Calculating Cells 5%, 10% and it takes a long time to get to
100%. I cant do any other work while this is happening. I have been looking
around for the answer but none of the solutions that I have seen works for me.

Can someone please help?
