To set the calculation mode to manual, proceed to the Ribbon, select the Formulas tab and then find the Calculation grouping on the tab. Click on the Calculation Options button and select you guessed it Manual. This process is pictured to the below. Once manual is engaged, Excel will only recalculate when you tell it to.
