Stopping calculation once it starts

[Barb Reinhardt]

Is there any way to stop calculation in an EXCEL workbook once it starts? I
didn't intend to have it calculate and it completely ties up EXCEL while
calculating.

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt

Just clicking on a cell or a tab in the open workbook should do it

Yes there are 2 ways, pushing Esc or Ctrl+Break should do it.
