Re: Temporarily Change Calculation To Manual. Thanks everybody for your input. The good news is that the suggestions work. The bad news is that the suggestions work. The reason recalc is set to manual is that a couple of very hefty workbooks are open when my code runs. The workbooks have up to 30,000 records with formulas. The Recalculate Range feature will only work if you disable automatic spreadsheet calculation and switch to manual mode: Open Formulas tab Click Calculation options In the drop-down list, check Manual. Now automatic calculations of the workbook are disabled. Recalculation of formulas can only be triggered manually, for example through Excel.
When the manual calculation mode is enabled, you will need to press F9 on your keyboard to force formulas to recalculate. Note that there is another way to change the calculation settings in Excel 2010, and that option can be found on the Excel Options window. If you would prefer to use that method, you can skip to the next section. Open Excel with a blank workbook. Switch to Manual (Tools-Options-Calculation). Then switch back to Automatic. The two steps are required to lock in the mode change. Open the workbook that was saved in Manual. Create a new workbook and then go into Excel options. Set Calculation mode to Manual.
Question & Answer
Question
Microsoft Excel is set to automatic calculation mode by default. Changing this to manual only lasts for the current session, therefore the next time Excel is launched, the calculation mode is again automatic. Is there a way to set TM1 Perpsectives to always use Excel in manual calculation mode?
Answer
To set Excel to always use manual calculation in Windows 7:
1. Create a new workbook and then go into Excel options.
2. Set Calculation mode to Manual.
3. Save the workbook as 'Book.xlsx' and save it in the C:Users<USER
PROFILE NAME>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftExcelXLSTART folder.
Each time Excel starts the changes will be made.
This should also perpetuate to new TM1 workbooks.
The same thing can be accomplished by setting up a PERSONAL.xls sheet which contains that
setting, and which can contain any macros that are required to be executed for every new workbook.

How to Calculate a Workbook / Worksheet When the Calculation Mode Is Set to Manual
Once manual calculation mode is engaged, Excel will only recalculate its workbooks when you tell it to. You can recalculate all workbooks by pressing the F9 function key or you can click the Calculate button in the status bar at the bottom left-hand corner of the Excel screen. Note that Shift+F9 can be pressed to only calculate the worksheet that you are on. You can also press the Calculate Now and Calculate Sheet buttons in Ribbon pictured above to perform the same calculations. By the way, looking at this button when a workbook first opens or is being used is a great way to know instantly if the calculation mode has been set to manual. The Calculate button in the Status bar only appears when the workbook needs to be calculated.

Also if you set the calculation mode to manual and save your workbook, that setting will be stored with the workbook so when the file is reopened, Excel reengages manual calculation mode if it is opened first before any other workbooks. This feature can vary depending upon what is open so always check it. Be careful saving workbooks in this mode because many Excel users are not used to seeing the calculation mode disabled and become confused when first encountering it. Also look on the Excel Options dialog box (File / Options) on the Formulas tab for the settings just discussed. There is also a check box on that tab that controls recalculating the workbook before saving if it is in manual calculation mode.
