Note: Formula-Workbook Calculates are AUTOMATIC by default

Workstation Specs:

As Cognos Express Xcelerator Perspectives is but a customized version of TM1 Perspectives, and as you are using Excel 2007, are you aware of the recommendation to disable the TM1 Ribbon Bar bin/Tm1pRibbonX.xlam ?


See for instance the IBM Technotes

https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview ... wg21413700
Excel hangs or crashes with exception error message after upgrading to TM1 9.4 or higher

Excel 2007 slowing down when TM1 Perspectives is active and connected
