Default why does the word calculate show up in my Excel status bar?

The ward "Calculate" is showing at the bottom of my Excel screen for this
particular file and i would like to stop it from calculating ever time I move
my data. I still like to have the spreadsheet on automatic calculation but
not for ever move I make. Can you help me? I have had this happen before
but it usually goes away after I close it.

Hi,

The word "Calculate" in status bar means that you changed calculation from
automatically to manulay and it comes when you make a change in your sheet
and you should hit the F9 key to recalculate to change back the calculation
to automatically go to menu : ToolsOptionCalculationautomaticallyOK.

Thanks,

when there are too many dependancies, excel will calculate all cells at any
change. If you have several very large files open, it can easily happen.
the reason it used to go away when you closed out Excel and reopened is
that yo probably did not have one program with too many dependencies by
itself. and when you closed Excel, it reset the flag for the dependency list.

I occasionally go through my bigger files and paste special values any
formulas which I do not need to continue operating. when I have one equation
which has multiple copies I keep one active and set up a macro to paste the
equaiton to other areas I want the calc to be done at and then to paste
values after the calculation.
