If the spreadsheet is large, recalculation isn't something that happens quickly!
During Recalculation, if the user clicks inside of a cell, or hits the "escape" key, or a variety of other things, then recalculation is suspended, the word "Calculate" appears in the status bar, and Excel switches to Manual recalculation. Usually, if you hit F9, the sheet recalculates and the mode is set back to automatic. so, it could just be a case of an impatient user... but then... Excel is a strange beast...

I found this issue when my colleagues ask me why there are not able to see results of a formula (when they drag the formula down). My colleagues had no clue about this settings & so i am sure they did not change the settings!! Anyone with an explaination?
