Recalculate a worksheet or workbook manually by using keyboard shortcuts. Change the number of times Excel iterates a formula. Change the precision of calculations in a workbook. Learn more about precision in Excel. Change the number of processors used to calculate formulas.
Replace a formula with its result. You can convert the contents of a cell that contains a formula so that the calculated value replaces the formula. If you want to freeze only part of a formula, you can replace only the part you don't want to recalculate.
When you are working with data in Power Pivot, from time to time you might need to refresh the data from the source, recalculate the formulas that you have created in calculated columns, or make sure data presented in a PivotTable is up-to date.
Unless you're familiar with iterative calculations, you probably won't want to keep any circular references intact. If you do, you can enable iterative calculations, but you need to determine how many times the formula should recalculate.
If you’re new to Excel, or even if you have some experience with it, you can walk through Excel’s most common formulas in this tour. With real-world examples and helpful visuals, you’ll be able to Sum, Count, Average, and Vlookup like a pro.
Whenever a worksheet recalculates, any data tables will also recalculate—even if there has been no change to the data. To speed up calculation of a worksheet that contains a data table, you can change the Calculation options to automatically recalculate the worksheet but not the data tables.
Operators specify the type of calculation that you want to perform on elements in a formula—such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. There are four different types of calculation operators: arithmetic, comparison, text concatenation, and reference.
You can use the Fill command to fill a formula into an adjacent range of cells. Simply do the following: Select the cell with the formula and the adjacent cells you want to fill. Click Home > Fill, and choose either Down, Right, Up, or Left.
If you want to freeze only part of a formula, you can replace only the part you don't want to recalculate. Replacing a formula with its result can be helpful if there are many or complex formulas in the workbook and you want to improve performance by creating static data.
Instead of using a calculator, use Microsoft Excel to do the math! You can enter simple formulas to add, divide, multiply, and subtract two or more numeric values. Or use the AutoSum feature to quickly total a series of values without entering them manually in a formula.
In Power Pivot, you create custom calculation formulas by using Data Analysis Expressions (DAX). DAX formulas in Power Pivot are very similar to Excel formulas. In fact, DAX uses many of the same functions, operators, and syntax as Excel formulas.
