Any time a value is changed in a spreadsheet, it automatically recalculates the entire worksheet. This keeps it up to date for the values that are now in the worksheet. A worksheet can have many formulas. Changing one value can affect many of those formulas, so it is important that they do recalculate when changes are made.

When worksheet cells are selected, a message displays on the status bar in the AutoCalculate box. AutoCalculate is not a substitute for writing worksheet formulas or functions. However, it is handy for making quick, temporary calculations that are not recorded on the worksheet. AutoCalculate can average, count, sum, and find the minimum or maximum number in a group of numbers. The default calculation is SUM. To use AutoCalculate, click and drag across the values you want to calculate. The sum of the values will display automatically on the status bar. To make a different type of calculation (for example, an average), right-click the AutoCalculate box on the status bar to display its shortcut menu. Choose the appropriate type of calculation.
