recalculation,
iteration, or
precision
Applies To: Excel 2007
To use formulas efficiently, there are three
important considerations that you need to
understand:
Calculation
is the process of computing
formulas and then displaying the results as
values in the cells that contain the formulas. To
avoid unnecessary calculations, Microsoft Office
Excel automatically recalculates formulas only
when the cells that the formula depends on
have changed. This is the default behavior when
you first open a workbook and when you are
editing a workbook. However, you can control
when and how Excel recalculates formulas.
Iteration
is the repeated recalculation of a
worksheet until a specific numeric condition is
met. Excel cannot automatically calculate a
formula that refers to the cell either directly
or indirectly that contains the formula. This is
called a circular reference. If a formula refers
back to one of its own cells, you must determine
how many times the formula should recalculate.
Circular references can iterate indefinitely.
However, you can control the the maximum
number of iterations and the amount of
acceptable change.
Precision
is a measure of the degree of
accuracy for a calculation. Excel stores and
calculates with 15 significant digits of precision.
However, you can change the precision of
calculations so that Excel uses the displayed
value instead of the stored value when it
recalculates formulas.
before saving check box. If saving a workbook takes a long time, clearing Recalculate
workbook before saving may improve the save time.
TIP: Alternatively, on the Formulas tab, in the Calculation group, click Calculation Options,
recalculated and you update that link, Excel displays a message stating that the source
worksheet is not completely recalculated. To update the link with the current value
stored on the source worksheet, even though the value might not be correct, click OK.
To cancel updating the link and use the previous value obtained from the source
worksheet, click Cancel.

To set the maximum number of times
Microsoft Excel will recalculate, type the number
of iterations in the Maximum Iterations box. The
higher the number of iterations, the more time
Excel will need to recalculate a worksheet.

To set the maximum amount of change you
will accept between recalculation results, type
the amount in the Maximum Change box. The
analysis tools. Both commands use iteration in a controlled way to obtain desired
results. You can use Solver when you need to find the optimum value for a particular cell
by adjusting the values of several cells or when you want to apply specific limitations to
one or more of the values in the calculation. You can use Goal Seek when you know the
desired result of a single formula but not the input value the formula needs to
determine the result.

want, and then select the Set precision as

To enable or disable the use of multiple
processors during calculation, in
the Formulas section, select or clear the Enable
multi-threaded calculation check box.
NOTE: This check box is enabled by default and all processors are used during

Optionally, if you select Enable multithreaded calculation, you can control the
number of processors to use on your computer.
For example, you might want to limit the
number of processors used during recalculation
if you have other programs running on your
computer that require dedicated processing
time.
