selected for recalculation, the cell is protected and the

Either tabbing off a field just changed or hitting enter
after changing a value will trigger a recalculation.

- How can I change the
payment period from monthly?

the resulting interface is simpler. We believe that most
loans are calculated based on monthly payments.
