Calculate message
I am running an Excel 2003 spreadsheet with 20 tabs, many calculations and
Links to external Query Tables resulting in a file that is 33Mb in size. Initially Auto calculate was enabled, but resulted in the file struggling to save and re-load as it was taking a very long time to attempt re-calculate to 95%, then eventually giving up and returning the 'Calculate' message in the bottom left hand corner of the message bar. I then disabled Auto calc and the file loaded much quicker, but an F9 recalc still presented the same result of 95% progress and the 'Calculate' message. Using some previous advice on here, I then tried the CTRL+ALT+F9, same result. Using further previous advice on here, I wrote a macro to recalculate each worksheet individually. This showed that some tabs were taking longer to calculate than others, as I would expect, but each of them achieved 100%. However, I am still left with the 'Calculate' message. Should I believe the 'calculate' message? If so, how do I establish where the problem is as there are no obvious calculation errors? Thanks. |

Calculate message
Further information:
I have removed 11 of the tabs (11 months) to reduce the file size, this made no difference. I have also copied and pasted all the cell contents as values, but it's still reporting that I need to 'Calculate' the spreadsheet! I have also created another worksheet with one calc in it to see if my Excel is corrupted, this works fine.
