Turn off undo
Hi,
Is there a way to temporarily turn off the undo function. I'm sorting 40000 rows of data and then deleting based on criteria and then resorting. I'm sure its taking forever because it wants to remember stuff so I can undo but I'd rather get on with it! Thanks |

Turn off undo
Chriswilko -
I don't know about turning Undo off, but if you save after every big step, that clears the Undo log. -- Daryl S "chriswilko" wrote: Hi, Is there a way to temporarily turn off the undo function.

Turn off undo
I'd try turning calculation to manual first.
But maybe you can use these links: xl2k and above XL: How to Modify the Number of Undo Levels http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211922 xl97 XL97: How to Modify the Number of Undo Levels http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=162944 And change the undo level to 0. chriswilko wrote: Hi, Is there a way to temporarily turn off the undo function.

Turn off undo
ps.
If you have google desktop search (or any of those other programs that index your files for quicker searching), you may want to disable it to see if that helps.
