When I change a cell and press enter, should Excel (97) be recalculating the entire spreadsheet or just that cell + any it impacts? I've noticed on several different files, when I make a change, the status bar shows recalc in progress and counts off % completed. This takes 3-4 seconds and happens even if the cell has no precedents or dependents. I know, get a faster machine. And I don't want to have to toggle automatic recalc. I didn't notice this happening until a week ago. Thoughts or suggestions?
