Formulas hidden

How to solve the problem, working with macros, when some formulas are hidden and is slowing down the process of calculating, copying and working with the rest of the spread sheet.

RE: formulas hidden

Hi Eulalia

Thanks for getting in touch. There are two options here, depending on if you are confident editing the VBA code.

The manual method is before running the macro, to disable calculation then reactivate it once the macro has finished. You can disable calculation from the Formulas menu, selecting Calculation Options and then Manual.

If you are confident editing a macro (View > Macros > highlight your macro and click edit). You can add the line

Application.Calculation = xlCalculateManual

to the top, then

Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

to the bottom.

Kind regards
