I would like to omit some cells (a single column, as it happens) from automatic calculation, but I don't want to switch the entire worksheet/workbook to manual calculation ("F9").

The reason for this is that the column in question contains some fuzzy matching formulas which can take a long time to complete. I'm happy to do this manually at the end of an editing session, whereas the rest of the calculations should update as I edit data.

Is this possible?

Many thanks in advance!

Stefan

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
I can see why you'd want to do that but I am pretty sure that functionalilty isn't available in Excel. It's either off, or it's on for all cells.

Sorry, I'm sure that's not the answer you wanted!
