Excel efficiency question...
Is there a good source that someone can point me to that will explain or rank
the various ways that excel can work with data according to how efficient the code will work? I.E. how does =Index(cellarray,match("lookupval",cellarray,0),H1 ) compare to Copying the data for cellarray into a sorted cellrange then doing a vlookup. Is there an add-in, tool, trick etc. that will observe workbook recalculations and report on which sets of formula are the resource hogs? -- Regards, John |

Vlookup doesn't require sorted data for an exact match.
If you want opinions on the efficiency of worksheet function approaches, you would probably get a better audience in the worksheet.functions newsgroup and post during the week rather than on a weekend. that said, Charles Williams has written quite a bit on this topic http://www.decisionmodels.com He also has an addin that can be used for timing worksheet function approaches (not free). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "John Keith" wrote in message ...

This site contains a lot of information about speed and memory usage. There
is a download for a measurement tool. I think it has to be paid for. www.decisionmodels.com -- Kind Regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "John Keith" wrote in message ...
