Why it is that my excel work sheet always "Processor Calculating". It takes long time to process the calculation. What was wrong?

without the file it's difficult to say.
maybe it is a huge file of calculations?
in that case you can put te calculations to manual.
excel 2007 => formula => countoptions.

Indeed this is a big file. I used to work with many big excel files but I don't encounter this problem. It makes me wonder what I did wrong to this file.. I tried the formula =>option => manual. I find this very time consuming as it does not calculate automatically when I modify or put formula.

Maybe you used a function to look up in the whole column (e.g. B:B) instead of a range (e.g. b1:b1500).
But without any file or formula, it's hard to tell.
Also beware of volatile functions and array formulas

Note that large workbooks containing many VLOOKUPS will also slow things down. According to various sources the INDEX/MATCH combination is faster and needs less resources
