I don't think you can stop excel from recalculating that single cell. But when I want to do something like this, I'd enter the 'formula' as a string by including characters (that make a unique prefix).

Then change back to A1 reference style (if necessary) after the edit replace. Sauravbide wrote: Hi, When you enter a function in a cell and focus out it gets automatically calculated. How can I stop this exceution programmatically? For ex - on the click of a button (using VSTO and C# here), I would like to stop the calculations to take place for whatever functions I type next. Please Note this is not regarding 'Automatic Calculation = Manual' as this will not turn off execution for something like '=SUM(4,5)'. Thanks, Saurav - Dave Peterson.
