Excel 2007 Charting Slow:
I have a problem with Excel 2007 loading a chart in a spreadsheet that was
created in Excel 2003. It takes forever to display the chart. A very helpful Microsoft rep told me this is a known issue with Excel when one or more axis settings are Fixed rather than Auto. Changing axis settings to Auto restores performance but only until you go back to fixed. At least there's a workaround for now but there is apparently a patch available from MS. KB938538 is related to the problem but I can find no reference to it. 1. Is anyone else having this problem? 2. Has anyone got the patch and applied it? Just looking for some more info. Thank You |

Everyone else is having this problem. 2. Has anyone got the patch and applied it? I know this problem is high in the consciousness of Microsoft, but I hadn't heard of a patch. I'll follow up on the KB number you posted. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "cnuk" wrote in message ...

thanks for the advice - changing the axis settings to Auto does indeed solve

I would also like to thank cnuk for de advice, because it also makes the
charts a lot faster in my spreadsheets. Sadly though it means that I have to live with the auto axis settings and the gap it makes between the line and frame in xy-charts. But at least my Excel don't crash now.
