Question

I have a spreadsheet set to manual calculation for time saving (it takes a long time to calculate).

I’d like to offer some way of advising the user whether a calculate needs to be performed or not to get the whole workbook up to date. I’ve not thought it through fully yet, but in my head I need to be able to distinguish the calculates that a user performs.

I.e. I need a worksheet_calculate event to be able to recognise if the user has done a shift-f9 or a ctrl-shift-f9 and to be able to alter it’s behaviour according to that.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Answer 1

You can try using onkey :

Sub TrackKeys()
   Application.OnKey "+{F9}", "Recalculate" 
End Sub

'in your sub you can call the calculations mode to be changed.
Sub Recalculate()
   Sheet1(1).Range("A2:E5").Calculate
End Sub
