Default Why does adding columns slow down processing speed?

No formulas?

"Allocate"?

Sorry, Cheer-Phil-ly, you speak in mysteries

| |I have a workbook (using Excel 2002) that takes the data on the worksheet
| | "AllDealers" (960 rows x 112 cols) and spreads it to regional sheets (16 in
| | all). This process (on my machine usually takes about 4-6 minutes.
| |
| | Then I added another 91 columns with historical data and now the same
| | calculation takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. What a difference?
| | Can anyone explain why?
| |
| | If I were to put this historical data in another worksheet, how can I tie
| | the two sheet together?
| |
| | Any help will be appreciated.
