Solution: The method used by Excel to calculate formulas depends on the settings you have made under "Tools, Options" on the "Calculation" tab.

The automatic calculation in the excel workbook should be activated every time it is opened.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Application
.Calculation = xlAutomatic
.CalculateBeforeSave = False
End With
End Sub
