Calculate doesn't work right
Hi,
My earlier threads might just be symphtoms of the workbooks unwillingness to calculate. LINKS DOESN'T RECALCULATE If I change a value in Sheet10, it's link in sheet11 doesn't recalculate. It does only recaculate if I force a sheet10.calculate and sheet11.calculate or run application.calculate (but I have a lot of links and sheets, that will take to much time to do in a user perspective) TEST WITH A NEW EMPTY WB If I start a new empty workbook and make ONE single link between sheet1 and sheet2, the sheet2 value will recalculate VERY SLOWLY - (4 seconds, seeing the 10...30...50% in the bottom of the application) when I change the value in sheet1. TEST WHIT/WITHOUT MY WB If I close my workbook excelfile, the new workbook with only one link will work o.k. again. If I start the workbook excelfile, the slow calculation starts again in the New Empty "one link workbook". Even if I take away all startcode in ThisWorkbook the probelm remain. It doesn't change even if I restart excel. I have Excel 2003 SP1 running on windows xp sp2 and computer is 3 Ghz and 1,5 GB RAM ... Pleeease bring light in this mess ...! /Regards |

Did you look at the Task Manager (Tab "Processes") to see what process
is consuming all that time? I would guess there is some macro permanently running. When you have the problem, press ctrl-break and then hit "Debug" to see where it's working. Hans |

Calculate doesn't work right
To clear up some possible confusions:
when Excel calculates (F9 or Application.calculate or Calculation is Automatic) it calculates all open workbooks not just the active book. (there is no option in Excel to only calculate the active workbook) Calculation settings like calculation=automatic/manual are set at application level rather than workbook level (if calculation is manual it is manual for all the open workbooks), and the setting is controlled by the first workbook opened until you change it through Excel Options or VBA. Normally Excel will only calculate things that have changed and formulae that depend on things that have changed, but you can force a complete calculation of all formulae in all open workbooks by pressing Ctrl Alt F9 (all at once). Sometimes Excel gets it dependency trees messed up in a particular workbook and this may cause a recalculation to not work properly: pressing Ctrl Alt Shift F9 (all at once) will rebuild the dependency trees and do a full calculate. Other possible sources of problems a - not being in automatic calculation mode when you think you are - visual basic User defined functions - circular references - calculation being interrupted by something external to Excel -- Charles ______________________ Decision Models FastExcel 2.2 Beta now available www.DecisionModels.com "Maria J-son" wrote in message ...
