Excel uses dependency trees to minimize calculations by only recalculating formulas that have changed or depend on changed cells. Dependency trees track cell dependencies and are rebuilt when formulas are changed. The Application.CalculationState property can be used to check the calculation state of Excel. Prior to Excel 2007, dependency trees were limited to tracking 65,536 areas and 8,000 cells depending on a single area, after which full recalculation was required. VBA code is compiled into an intermediate P-code format and interpreted by a virtual machine exclusive to Microsoft products.

1. Question 41. Is It Possible To Apply 'application.
volatile(false)' To A Volatile Public
Function Like Index And Make It Not Volatile? Answer : Actually INDEX is not a volatile function, even though some MicroSoft documentation says it is. Anyway no its not possible to apply Application.Volatile(False) to a built-in Excel function except by duplicating what the built-in function does inside a UDF. 2. Question 42. What Is Excel Dependency Tree? Answer : o Dependency trees are excel way of minimizing the calculation by tracking what has changed since last calculation. It allows Excel to recalculate only: o Formulae/Names that have changed. o Formulae containing Volatile Functions. o Formulae dependent on changed or volatile formulae or cells or names. o Excel determines dependencies by looking at the cells referred to by each formula and by the argument list of each function. o Dependency trees are immediately updated whenever a formula is entered or changed. o To force the dependency trees to be rebuilt and all formulae calculation use CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F9. 3. Question 43. How Do You Check The Calculation State ? Answer : using the Application.CalculationState property which tells if calculation has completed ( xlDone ), is pending ( xlPending) , or is in process ( xlCalculating ). 4. Question 44. What Are Excel Dependency Tree Limits? Answer : There are two limits to the number of dependencies that Excel versions prior to Excel 2007 can track before it must do full calculations instead of recalculations. o The number of different areas in a sheet that may have dependencies is limited to 65,536. o The number of cells that may depend on a single area is limited to 8K. After the workbook has passed these limits, Excel no longer attempts to recalculate only changed cells. Instead, it recalculates all cells at each calculation. 5. Question 45. What Do You Know About The Interpretation Features Of Vba? Answer : VBA is licensed to Microsoft and this compatible with and only Microsoft products. Code written is compiled by an intermediate language called P-code and this is stored in hosting applications such as Excel, Word and Access. The intermediate code is interpreted by a virtual machine. This code and intermediate language is the exclusive right of Microsoft.
