In a workbook with a large number of worksheets and lookup formulae I have
encountered a new problem.

In the past I've seen the problem where 'Calculate' is permanently displayed
in the Status Bar due to the dependency limit being reached, even with
automatic calculation set.

I added some additional worksheets yesterday and formulae linked between
other worksheets were not updating automatically, even when I hit F9. I had
to go into each cell individually and hit F2 then return for the formula to
update.

Has anyone seen this happen before?

Does CNTRL-ALT-F9
work any better?

Yes - all the cells recalculated. A couple of follow on questions:

Why does this (calculate all sheets in the active workbook) work but not F9
(calculate all sheets in all open workbooks)?

Have I reached some sort of iterative limit for recalculations?

Thanks

CNTRL-ALT-F9 forces total recalculation even if Excel sees no reason to do
so. If you can't get recalculation to occur automatically with the usual
mechanism (ToolsOptionsCalculation), you can force it. Create an event
procedure that detects changes in cell values an issues
Application.CalculateFull in response.

Good Luck
