Hi all,

I wonder if I could get your advice if possible to perform the below requirement.

The below code is assigned to a shape within excel which basically turns off or on excel formula calculations when the button is clicked.

VBA Code:
Sub btn_autocalc_Click()
If Application.Calculation = xlManual Then
    Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
    'btn_autocalc.Caption = "TURN FORMULAS OFF MACRO"
Else
   Application.Calculation = xlManual
   'btn_autocalc.Caption = "TURN FORMULAS ON MACRO"
End If
End Sub

But I want to have in a cell below the macro button as a text value to is to show the current status.

For example Text: "Formulas are currently turned off" or "Formulas are currently turned on"

I have tried adding this additional function into my workbook which works by showing if the formulas are on but i cannot get it to show as off if it is off.

Code:
Function CalculationMode() As String

    Dim cMode As XlCalculation

    Application.Volatile

    cMode = Application.Calculation

    Select Case cMode

    Case xlCalculationAutomatic: CalculationMode = "Auto"

    Case xlCalculationManual: CalculationMode = "Manual"

    Case xlCalculationSemiautomatic: CalculationMode = "Semi-Auto"

    End Select

End Function

And in a cell =CalculationMode()


Any advice appreicatated.
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
If you run this little macro, it will show you what values you need to check for the Application.Calculation property:
VBA Code:
Sub TestCalcModes()

    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    MsgBox "Code for Automatic: " & Application.Calculation

    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    MsgBox "Code for Manual: " & Application.Calculation
    
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationSemiautomatic
    MsgBox "Code for Semiautomatic: " & Application.Calculation
    
End Sub

Thank you for your time and this code.
