"Calculate" message in Status Bar

[mnunz58]

Can anyone help me? I consider myself a heavy user of Excel and it has
been so long since I have encountered "basic" problems, however, I am
trying to troubleshoot a message that is constant on one of my huge
worksheets. I have a "calculate" message appearing on my status bar
and the worksheet is so big I was wondering if there was any way I
could easily troubleshoot where the message is coming from. Which part
of the worksheet, which cell? There is no circular reference error
message appearing on the status bar, however, the spreadsheet is set to
"automatic" calculate and I still have the message.

Any suggestions?

If you have calculation set to automatic:
tools|Options|calculation tab (is where you'd toggle this setting)

Then it could be this:
