What is the Excel hotkey to re-calculate all formula in sheet?

This often happens with very large and complex spreadsheets. Here are some workarounds you could try:

  • CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + F9 to recheck all formula dependencies and then recalculate all formulas.

  • Select any blank cell, press F2 and then Enter.

  • Re-enter = :

    • Select cells that contain formulas you'd like to update
    • Press CTRL+H.
    • Find what: =
    • Replace with: =

    This may take a while depending on the size of your workbook. Save your file before attempting.
