Excel calculating threads

Good Day,

I am working on Windows 10. I am having an issue in Excel, where I am constantly seeing "calculating 8 threads - 0%" in the lower righthand corner. The screen is then choppy and the cursor jumps until I randomly click. It seems it never moves off of 0% even if left for hours. It just keeps restarting the "calculating 8 threads". The only way out of excel is to force a stop.

The sheet is accessible via Microsoft Sharepoint and others have opened it with no issues. I have tried the enable iterative calculations but the "calculating 8 threads" returns.

Does anyone know what is the cause of this and how to fix it? I've looked through countless questions but none seem to fully address the issue.

Thank you,

Hello Daniel,

As you mentioned "The sheet is accessible via Microsoft Sharepoint and others have opened it with no issues", I would like you to compare the Excel options with the users who are having no issues, the options to be compared are Excel app> Options> Formulas tab, and Excel app> Options> Advanced> Scroll to Formulas section.

If the options are the same and still have the problem, please perform Online Repair to the Office apps and check the result. Reference: Repair an Office application (microsoft.com)

If the still problem persists, can you please share the version and Product Inforamtion of the Excel app used at your end? Open the Excel app> Account

In addition, is it possible to share the sample problematic workbook and the above Excel Options screenshots with us? So, we can test at our end.

Best Regards,

Chitrahaas
