Default How do I stop calculations?

Ack! Make it stop! I don't want to trash this spreadsheet just to stop a
massive calculation routine that I didn't mean to start. How do I break the
calculations?

You could set calculation to manual and just calculate what you desire.

Default How do I stop calculations?

I've asked something to put in subtotals in a workbook with only reasonable
length 3 columns of data in it, I've got another spreadsheet which is rather
large open but am set to manual update.
The whole of excel is now frozen & my laptop's pumping out some serious hot
air.

If I ctrl+alt+delete & end task, I will lose data I really don't want to lose.
I've tried the Ctrl + Shift + Break, it's not working.

Anything else I can do?
