| How can I stop excel calculating after each entry i enter into a cell.
| The calculation can take up to 15 seconds to calculate I can Tab to the next
| cell when entering text but it starts to calculate and when I enter figures
| then I cannot move to next row till the calculation has finished.
| The last line on the screen just above Start button changes from Ready to
| show Calculating Cells: 15% then changes back to Ready after it goes through
| to approx 75%
| I have checked ToolOptionsCalculation and I have Calculation on Automatic
| and Work sheet Options has a tick in Update remote references and save
| external link values.
| This is the first time this has happened.
| I have excel 2000.
| Thank you
