Force Recalculate All Worksheets

Forces a full recalculation of all worksheets in every open workbook, ignoring the 'changed since last calculation' flag.

Ctrl + Alt + F9

When to use it

Use when you suspect formulas are not updating correctly or when you need to ensure all dependent cells are recalculated.

Pro tip

This shortcut is more thorough than F9 (calculate active sheet) or Shift+F9 (calculate active workbook).
