From: ellebelle on 19 May 2010 03:40 i have a very large project file. it is significantly faster when i turn the calculation off (under options). however, sometimes it would be good to calculate a single selected row/s only instead of having to calculate the entire project. is this possible?
From: Rob Schneider on 19 May 2010 05:26 Sorry, it's all or nothing. I'm surprised you really notice the computation time. It must be really big or you have a slow computer. With such a big and clearly important file, you are taking measures to make backups of versions at frequent intervals, I hope. --rms www.rmschneider.com On 19/05/10 08:40, ellebelle wrote: > i have a very large project file. it is significantly faster when i turn the > calculation off (under options). however, sometimes it would be good to > calculate a single selected row/s only instead of having to calculate the > entire project. is this possible?
From: Andrew Lavinsky on 19 May 2010 21:54 To add to Rob's point, you could perhaps consider a macro to calculate a single line. In fact, to speed things up, you may want to consider moving a number of your custom field calculations to a macro - thus allowing you to use automatic calculations for some fields but run the macro for specific batches of fields.

From: ellebelle on 20 May 2010 01:47 i have an incredibly fast compueter but i am runnning a schedule for 800 people and many, many thousands of tasks. i clear out my historical stuff regularly. i think the macro advice is the way forward. i will see if i can find something on the net. pls let me know if you see something that could work. i am no coder. thanks!

From: Rob Schneider on 20 May 2010 03:40 How many tasks? how big is the file? How long does it take to recompute? "Many thousand" doesn't sound that big, but I have no clue what "many" means. If it's small enough for you to handle the updating and tracking, then I would presume it not that big. Has the file become corrupted?
