Default Simplifying/speeding up this formula

Doh! (slaps forehead).

Interestingly, I made other minor modifications to the sheet, and I'm not
sure what I did, but the whole thing is recalculating an order of magnitude
slower than before (independent of the 2-cell solution below). Looks like I
have some more troubleshooting to do :(

Thanks!

Is there a way to change the following formula from
=if(calculation result 0, calculate it again, "") to =if(calculation
result
0, use that result, "") ?


=IF(SUMPRODUCT(('Raw Data'!$A$2:$A$30000=$C5)*1,('Raw
Data'!$B$2:$B$30000=I$1)*1)0,SUMPRODUCT(('Raw
Data'!$A$2:$A$30000=$C5)*1,('Raw Data'!$B$2:$B$30000=I$1)*1),"")

Just thinking if there is a clever way to do this, it would cut worksheet
calculation time in half...but I'm not sure how Excel calculates and
stores
this data, so my assuption may be incorrect anyway...

Thanks,
