Check dependent formulas and calculate all cells in all open workbooks

Forces a complete recalculation of all formulas in all open workbooks, including those that depend on other cells.

Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F9

When to use it

Use when you need to ensure all formulas are up-to-date after making changes to dependent cells or external references.

Pro tip

This shortcut recalculates everything, which can be slow on large workbooks. Use F9 for active sheet only or Shift+F9 for current sheet.
