    Is there a way to make a "Calculate Now" Button in the spreadsheet?

    I have a fairly involved worksheet with lots of calculation
    the user has to enter a bunch of Data
    and right now the worksheet is doing a recalc everytime something new is entered..and recalc is not fast
    I know I can turn it to manual...but not everybody knows how to recalc the data and I want to add a button that somebody can press to calculate after they have finished keying in the data needed

    I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place for this post

    Hi soundengineer,

    This sould prob be in the Excel Programming thread but if so im sure a mod will move it

    In the same spot you would put a button, you could put a text box that reads:

    "Press F9 to Recalculate"
