Auto calculation

Can i permanently turn off auto calculation?

RE: Auto calculation

Hi Laura

If 2010 is similar to 2007 then this is simple.

Click on the orb on the top left of excel application window that you use to save and open files then go to Excel options on the bottom of the window that opens.

Within the new window select formulas and change workbook calculation to manual. Its then your choice if you want the workbook to recalculate before saving which if you dont just untick the box.

Be aware this will stop all workbooks from calculating only on the machine you are using. Should there be others you would need to repeat this process.

Hope that helps

Barry

Excel tip:

Generating Random Numbers

To generate a random number in Excel use the = RAND() function.

The value returned will always be between 0 and 1. To convert this to some other random value, you will need to multiply the result by the highest number you want to consider. For example, if you wanted a random number between 1 and 25, you could use the following code line:
= INT(25 * RAND()+ 1)

Since RAND() will always returns a value between 0 and 1 (but never 1 itself), multiplying what it returns by 25 and then using the Integer function INT on that result will return a whole number between 0 and 24.

Finally, 1 is added to this result, so that x will be equal to a number between 1 and 25, inclusive
