I have a rather large spreadsheet (database) with a large number of
formulae. Because the process has been slowed down by the amount of
recalculation I can see the process of the recalculation. This occurs in
batches of perhaps 2 or 3 rows. The odd thing is that these batches appear
out of sequence not, as you'd expect, in chronological order.

Has anyone got a simple answer to this strange behaviour?

Thanks.
