How to Automatically Calculate Microsoft Excel

📌 Why this matters
When your spreadsheet calculations don't update automatically, you're working with stale data that can lead to costly errors in reports and decisions. Automatic calculation ensures your formulas refresh instantly when you change any referenced values.
Beyond basic convenience, this becomes critical when you're collaborating with others who might modify shared workbooks, or when you're importing external data that updates frequently. Manual calculation mode often gets enabled accidentally through keyboard shortcuts, leaving you unknowingly working with outdated results until you catch the discrepancy.
