In this article, we will explore the process of configuring automatic calculation of formulas in the Windows environment. This feature is essential for users who work extensively with spreadsheets and need real-time updates of their calculations. By enabling automatic calculation, users can save time and effort by eliminating the need to manually recalculate formulas every time a change is made.

Examples:

1. Microsoft Excel:

• Open Microsoft Excel and navigate to the "Formulas" tab.


• Click on the "Calculation Options" button in the "Calculation" group.


• Select the "Automatic" option from the drop-down menu.


• Now, any changes made to the spreadsheet will automatically trigger the recalculation of formulas.

2. PowerShell:

• Open PowerShell and navigate to the directory where the Excel file is located.


• Use the following command to open the Excel application:
  

   $excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application



• Load the workbook using the following command:
  

   $workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Open("C:\path\to\excel_file.xlsx")



• Enable automatic calculation using the following command:
  

   $workbook.AutoCalculate = $true



• Save and close the workbook:
  

   $workbook.Save()
  
   $workbook.Close()
