I am working with a very large workbook with about 15 tabs with, one has a
ton of data nad numerous VLookups. So the size may be where this error is
coming from. Anyway, here is what it says:
"Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data
or close other applications."
Has anyone every seen this before? Thanks.
Yup. Excel is telling you that Windows running low on brain.
You have a few options: reduce resource requirements by loading fewer
(other) programs (may require reboot to be truly effective), increase
virtual RAM (may require sacrificing 256k goats and rebooting at the
stroke of leap day to be effective), make the file smaller, increase
physical RAM.
Other knob-twiddling exercises to try are defrag hard disk, delete temp
files (from all the secret places Windows stashes them), not in that order.
