I have a data entry sheet with 25 columns of data. The data is both
text and numeric. I have 5 reports on separate worksheets in the same
workbook. QUESTION: when I get 1000 or more lines of data, excel slows
because each time I enter data in a cell, the cells recalculate. Can
I fix this by turning off auto calculate and by also taking the
reports to individual workbooks? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Calc mode can be changed to Manual under Tools, Options, Calculation. After
doing so press F9 whenever you want Excel to calculate.
