Are excel formulas recalculated when sorting? -
i have tried googleing answer not find answers try here.
the table below contains values in , b columns, formula formatted text in c column , same formula formatted real formula (=a1+b1 etc.) displays result in column d.
b c d 1 1 1 a1+b1 2 2 2 2 a2+b2 4 3 3 3 a3+b3 6 if sort table on in descending order looks below:
b c d 1 3 3 a1+b1 6 2 2 2 a2+b2 4 3 1 1 a3+b3 2 are formulas recalculated when sorting? dealing small tables or sheets such not matter - if file contains more couple of thousands rows , complex formulas recalculating should kind of slow. is idea copy d , paste values in d before sorting if finished editing formula?
calculation seem triggered when sorting.
you can state copy/paste values, way around this, enable manual calculation. can at:
file --> options --> formulas --> manual calculation
this way can choose when calculate formulas pressing f9. not leave on indefinitely, since can give wrong view on data, when manipulating data, feature can come in handy.
