If your file contains lots of formulae then it can take excel a while to
calculate them.

First solution would be to fix values for any formulae that do not need to
be calculated. Copy / Edit Pastespecial values. That could speed things
up a bit.

Other solution is to do Tools Options, Calculation, and set it to manual.
Then you can make changes and it won't recalculate. But you have to
remember to recalculate (F9) if you want to have the latest info on your
sheet.
