    Change Auto Calc to Manual by default

    Hi

    Whenever I open a fresh excel (2010), the calculation setting is Auto. Is there any way that I can set this to manual as a default so that everytime I open excel I dont have to go to options and change setting to manual. By default it should keep calculation setting to manual.

    Thanks

    Office Button > Excel Options > Formulas > Workbook Calculations > Manual

    see if that works for you...

    CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
    All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.

    look here:
    http://www.decisionmodels.com/calcsecretse.htm

    When Excel has no workbooks open, or when you start Excel, it sets the initial calculation mode and settings from the first non-template, non-addin, non-Personal.xls workbook that you open

    This means that the calculation mode setting in subsequently opened workbooks will be ignored, although you can change the mode yourself at any time using Tools-->Options-->Calculation. As soon as you change the calculation mode, it applies to all subsequently opened workbooks.

    If you want to override the way Excel sets the initial calculation mode you can set it yourself by creating a module in ThisWorkbook (doubleclick ThisWorkbook in the Project Explorer window in the VBE), and adding this code. This example sets calculation to Manual.
    Note that this will NOT prevent the workbook being recalculated if it is opened in Automatic mode.

    Hi

    Thanks for that but I already know this. I am wondering if we can change this setting to manual as default so that everytime i start excel i dont have to change it to manual from automatic.

    Thanks
