I have a workbook with several worksheets that involve a lot of conditional
summing. everytime I make an entry, I have to wait for it to do it's
calculations. I'm sure there's a way to tell it to not make any
calculations
until I tell it or until I leave/save the file. You guys have been great
so
far. Can you help me here? Thanks.
