Excel Calculation When Desktop Locked?

[Mike Langlois]

Hi all,

A bit of a random question, but does anyone if Excel still calculates/updates spreadsheets if they are open, but the desktop is locked?

I have a very intensive spreadsheet at work that takes a considerable amount of time to fully calculate, and my plan is to leave it calculating over night.

I just wanted to make sure that when I lock my computer with automatic calculation on, it will calculate overnight to be ready the next day?

And you have tried this? A locked desktop does not stop computer running
