Recalculating Formulas Automatically
By default, formulas are recalculated automatically each time a change is made to a
chart. For large charts, you may want to turn automatic recalculation off to enhance
performance.
• Select Auto Recalculation from the Chart menu to turn automatic recalculation of
formulas on and off.
• If automatic recalculation is OFF, select Recalculate Formulas from the Chart
menu to update all formula fields.
• Caution: While Auto Recalculation is OFF, there is no indication that formulas are
not up to date.
Excluding Boxes from Formula Calculations
Sometimes, you may want to exclude one or more boxes from a calculation. For
example, a headcount calculation should not include vacant positions.
➣ To exclude fields from calculations:
1 Select the boxes that you want to exclude from a calculation.
2 Select Box Properties from the Format menu and then click the Advanced
tab.
The Box Properties dialog box Advanced tab is displayed.
