Recreating the file might help, particularly if large areas include
unnecessary formatting. However what means you use to do that, manually,
VBA, VSTO etc, wouldn't be directly relevant.

I have a really large spreadsheet that is saved in a sharepoint location

takes about five minutes to load.

Would it make any difference if I recreate the file using VSTO?

Thanks in advance
