Some of my macros seem to be slowed down by having to calculate after each
operation and this is not necessary. So, initially, I want to disable calc
and do it only once at the end. What is the best macro command for this?

Thanks,
Grace

Grace,

At the beginning of the procedure, use

Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

At the end of the procedure, use

Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

Grace, one way to get the required statements is just to record a macro of
the action.

Hey Bob,

I do know this. In fact, this is how I create most of my code! In this
case, I got

With Application
.Calculation = xlManual
.MaxChange = 0.001
End With
ActiveWorkbook.PrecisionAsDisplayed = False

is this the same thing as the one-liner Chip just advised?

The one thing that is really confusing me is trying to record relative
references. I know how to set it, now, but it still doesn't seem to work as
I would hope, even with that option selected. For example, let's say I
select a block of cells but want to expand it by six columns to the right.
When I record, it shows me something like f16 going to L16, but this does
not work the next time, when my block is not ending in cell f16. Can I get
it to record this kind of thing? By the way, someone kindly tell me what
the VB command is for expanding a selected range by six columns to the
right, in case the recording doesn't work.

Thanks,
Grace
