In this video, we’ll be showing you how to recalculate and refresh formulas in Excel.

Recalculating is handy if your formulas are not working properly or if you are on manual calculation mode. If you have a large file with many calculations or some are not working properly, then try recalculating. Let’s recalculate these formulas.

1. Go to the Formulas tab at the top and click Calculate Now. This calculates formulas for the entire workbook. The formulas I have here in the sheet are random formulas that give a new value each time they are calculated. This is just to show you that the refresh is working.
2. The main use for recalculation is if you have a massive workbook that is slowing down your computer with frequent calculation.
3. If that is the case, click Calculation Options - Manual.
4. You’ll notice that the Total formula does not change. On Manual mode, you have to click Calculate Now to see the results.

You now know recalculate and refresh formulas! If you’re on Manual mode, don’t forget that you need to recalculate manually!
