Interrupting Evaluations

To interrupt a Mathematica evaluation:

• Click Evaluate on the Mathematica Toolbar.

If an evaluation is already being performed, you will be prompted to abort the current evaluation.

• Click Yes.

Although most Mathematica evaluations can be interrupted, some cannot. If the kernel does not respond to an abort request after some time, you can choose to close the kernel to end the evaluation.

To close a kernel during an evaluation and return control to Excel:

• Hold down Shift and click Evaluate on the Mathematica Toolbar, or
• Right-click the Mathematica kernel in the task bar and choose Close.
Notes
• Pressing the Esc key does not interrupt Mathematica evaluations. The Esc key is used by Excel to send interrupts to local Visual Basic code.
• Aborted formulas return #NULL! thereby suppressing evaluation of dependent formulas.
