Help Optimizing a Sheet to improve performance
Hi:
I have a large excel sheet with lots and lots of formulas - many of them text related, and lots of conditional formatting. The response of the sheet is very slow - that is, when I enter a value in a cell, it can take up to a second or more before the conditional formatting changes the appearance of the cell. I'm also sung some 'grouping' which has an extremely slow response. Expanding the to first level can take half a minute and there are only about 40 rows in the sheet. Aside from the obvious - reducing formulas and conditional formatting rules, is there a general way to optimize a sheet for speed? Thanks for any suggestions. Office 2007 running under Vista on a high speed Quad Core machine with 4 gig of memory. |

Help Optimizing a Sheet to improve performance
There have been a number of postings of a bug with conditional formatting
and Excel 2007. It seems that copying and pasting results in multiple sets of conditional formats. And having lots of conditional formatting appears to greatly slow down Excel 2007. The only solution if this is what is happening is a bug fix from Microsoft. Only Microsoft knows when that will happen.
