By default, Excel automatically recalculates all open workbooks as you change values in the worksheets.

However, you can choose to recalculate only the current worksheet manually.

There is no direct way in Excel to manually recalculate only the current workbook, but you can manually recalculate the current worksheet within a workbook.

When you select Manual, the Recalculate workbook before saving check box is automatically checked.

If you save your worksheet often and would rather not wait for it to recalculate every time you do, select the Recalculate workbook before saving check box so there is NO check mark in the box to disable the option.

Data tables provide a shortcut for calculating multiple results in one operation and a way to view and compare the results of all the different variations together on your worksheet.

If youre using a lot of data tables, and you still want to automatically recalculate your workbooks, you can select the Automatic except for data tables option, and everything except for your data tables will be recalculated, saving you some time during recalculation.

If you want to recalculate everything on all worksheets in all open workbooks that has changed since the last calculation, press F9 (only if you have turned off Automatic calculation).

To check formulas that depend on other cells first and then recalculate all formulas in all open workbooks, regardless of whether they have changed since the last recalculation, press CtrlShiftAltF9.
