To set Excel to always use manual calculation in Windows 7: 1. Create a new workbook and then go into Excel options. Set Calculation mode to Manual. Save the workbook as 'Book.xlsx' and save it in the C: Users AppData Roaming Microsoft Excel XLSTART folder. Each time Excel starts the changes will be made. Finally, choose a calculation mode: 'Alt-A' for Automatic, 'Alt-D' for Automatic with Data Tables or 'Alt-M' for Manual calculation. Important Considerations About Calculation Modes It is vital to remember that a change to the calculation mode affects all open files, regardless of how they were originally saved. Set the constant 'TargetWBName' to be the name of the workbook that you wish to open. This code will simply switch calculation to manual, then open the file. The launcher file will then automatically close itself. To put the workbook into manual recalculation mode, you select the Manual option on the Calculation Options’ button on the Formulas tab of the Ribbon (Alt+MXM). After switching to manual recalculation, Excel displays CALCULATE on the status bar whenever you make a change to the worksheet that somehow affects the current values of its formulas. To change the mode of calculation in Excel, follow these steps: Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options. On the Formulas tab, select the calculation mode that you want to use.

While I would never suggest anyone use Manual calculation in Excel,I realize that many still do. All it means is you haveSpreadsheetDesign issue that you SHOULD fix rather than cater to.
Use like;
=CalculationState()
and
=CalculationMode()
Both are Volatile Functions and willrecalculate when most action is used in Excel. IMPORTANT if you are in ManualCalculation neither will auto recalculate.
