Apr 17, 2018 If the mode of calculation in a workbook changed and the file is saved, the current mode of calculation is saved. For example, if Auto1.xlsx is opened, Manual1.xlsx is opened, and Manual1.xlsx is immediately saved, the mode of calculation is saved as automatic. How to control the mode of calculation All open documents use the same mode of. In really large Excel 2016 workbooks that contain many completed worksheets, you may want to switch to manual recalculation so that you can control when the formulas in the worksheet are calculated. You need this kind of control when you find that Excel’s recalculation of formulas each time you enter or change information in cells.

In really large Excel 2016 workbooks that contain many completed worksheets, you may want to switch to manual recalculation so that you can control when the formulas in the worksheet are calculated. You need this kind of control when you find that Excel’s recalculation of formulas each time you enter or change information in cells has considerably slowed the program’s response time to a crawl.

By holding off recalculations until you are ready to save or print the workbook, you find that you can work with Excel’s worksheets without interminable delays.

To put the workbook into manual recalculation mode, you select the Manual option on the Calculation Options’ button on the Formulas tab of the Ribbon (Alt+MXM). After switching to manual recalculation, Excel displays CALCULATE on the status bar whenever you make a change to the worksheet that somehow affects the current values of its formulas. Whenever Excel is in Calculate mode, you need to bring the formulas up-to-date in your worksheets before saving the workbook (as you would do before you print its worksheets).

To recalculate the formulas in a workbook when calculation is manual, press F9 or Ctrl+= (equal sign) or select the Calculate Now button (the one with a picture of a calculator in the upper-right corner of the Calculation group) on the Formulas tab (Alt+MB).

Excel then recalculates the formulas in all the worksheets of your workbook. If you made changes to only the current worksheet and you don’t want to wait around for Excel to recalculate every other worksheet in the workbook, you can restrict the recalculation to the current worksheet. Press Shift+F9 or click the Calculate Sheet button (the one with picture of a calculator under the worksheet in the lower-right corner of the Calculation group) on the Formulas tab (Alt+MJ).

If your worksheet contains data tables that perform different what-if scenarios, you can have Excel automatically recalculate all parts of the worksheet except for those data tables by clicking Automatic Except Data Tables on the Calculation Options button’s drop-down menu on the Formulas tab (Alt+MXE).

To return a workbook to fully automatic recalculation mode, click the Automatic option on the Calculation Options button’s drop-down menu on the Formulas tab (Alt+MXA).

The SWITCH function evaluates one value (called the expression) against a list of values, and returns the result corresponding to the first matching value. If there is no match, an optional default value may be returned.

Note: This feature is available on Windows or Mac if you have Office 2019, or if you have an Office 365 subscription. If you are an Office 365 subscriber, make sure you have the latest version of Office.

Technical Details

Syntax

SWITCH(expression, value1, result1, [default or value2, result2],…[default or value3, result3])

Argument	Description
expression (required)	Expression is the value (such as a number, date or some text) that will be compared against value1…value126.
value1…value126	ValueN is a value that will be compared against expression.
result1…result126	ResultN is the value to be returned when the corresponding valueN argument matches expression. ResultN and must be supplied for each corresponding valueN argument.
default (optional)	Default is the value to return in case no matches are found in the valueN expressions. The Default argument is identified by having no corresponding resultN expression (see examples). Default must be the final argument in the function.

Because functions are limited to 254 arguments, you can use up to 126 pairs of value and result arguments.

Overview

In its simplest form, the SWITCH function says:

=SWITCH(Value to switch, Value to match1...[2-126], Value to return if there's a match1...[2-126], Value to return if there's no match)

Where you can evaluate up to 126 matching values and results.

See the following formula:

Value to switch? In this case, WEEKDAY(A2) equals 2.
What value do you want to match? In this case, it's 1, 2 and 3.
If there's a match, what do you want to return as a result? In this case, it would be Sunday for 1, Monday for 2 and Tuesday for 3.
Default value to return if there's no match found. In this case, it's the text 'No match'.
Note: If there are no matching values, and no default argument is supplied, the SWITCH function returns the #N/A! error.

Examples

You can copy the example data in the following table and paste it in cell A1 of a new Excel worksheet to see the SWITCH function in action. If the formulas don't show results, you can select them, then press F2 > Enter. If you need to, you can adjust the column widths to see all the data.

Example

Value	Formula	Result
2	=SWITCH(WEEKDAY(A2),1,'Sunday',2,'Monday',3,'Tuesday','No match')	Because A2=2, and Monday is the result argument corresponding to the value 2, SWITCH returns Monday
99	=SWITCH(A3,1,'Sunday',2,'Monday',3,'Tuesday')	Because there's no match and no else argument, SWITCH returns #N/A!
99	=SWITCH(A4,1,'Sunday',2,'Monday',3,'Tuesday','No match')	No match
2	=SWITCH(A5,1,'Sunday',7,'Saturday','weekday')	weekday
3	=SWITCH(A6,1,'Sunday',2,'Monday',3,'Tuesday','No match')	Tuesday
