Excel 2013 to 2016 calculation problem

Copper Contributor

I have a workbook that is used to calculate multiple items over 40 sheets.  On my balance sheet, in excel 2013 I would hit F9 and could see all the calculations take place in the spreadsheet.  The numbers changing rapidly.  I upgraded to Excel 2016 and when I hit F9 I see the calculations happening in the bottom right task bar but my balance sheet doesn't change.  I need to see the changes in real-time like before.  I have checked all my settings side by side and all are the same.  I have tried every variation of alt-Shift-CRTL f9 there is and nothing.  It seems like this should be a check box somewhere saying show the work in the sheet but I can't find it.

Also can add this works correctly on 2010 as well.

 

Any Ideas?

Hi Chris,

 

It seems that the calculation option in your old version of Excel was in manual mode as below screenshot:

Yes, both 2013 and 2016 are in manual mode.  If it is left in automatic it takes forever to load.  I just can't see the calculations in 2016 in the spreadsheet.
