If Excel crashing when you clicking "Show Calculation Steps"—suggests a possible corruption in Excel’s internal settings or an issue with add-ins.
- Start Excel in Safe Mode
Open your file and try Show Calculation Steps again.
If it works fine, the issue might be caused by an add-in.
Open Excel normally.
Go to File > Options > Add-ins.
In the Manage dropdown at the bottom, select COM Add-ins and click Go.
Uncheck all add-ins and click OK.
Restart Excel and check if the issue persists.
- If the issue persists, try repairing Office:
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
Find Microsoft Office, click it, and select Change.
Choose Repair and follow the instractrions.
Dont forget to Check for Office Updates in Advance.
Hope I could help you with this.
