Spreadsheet Performance
 

Hi all,

Thought I would ask the question before I spent to much time on what might
not be an issue.

I have a workbook containing four sheets of data (each with around 4000 rows
and 27 columns), this is used as data for around 50 graphs on 5 other sheets.
I have used SUMPRODUCT with named ranges for the calculations, which are done
on a separate sheet. The speed of the recalculation of the workbook is around
30 seconds. Is this considered slow?

If so are pivot tables faster?

Hi John,
in my opinion 30 seconds is quite possible. It depends on your machine
too. I used to work with workbooks taking even few minutes to be
recalculated.
I guess pivot tables could be faster, especially if your charts are
similar to each other and could be based on one pivot table. The best
way is to give it a try.
Wish you luck!
