Excel with lots of formulas in in

[peter8848]

Dear All,

I have designed a report which contains lots of formulas including assay formula, every time when i save or fresh it takes 10 mins to recalculate so meanwhile i cannot do any other work from excel.

Is it any other way we can work around it? At the moment I am using a different server or computer to run the report.

Cheers,

Peter

Some points to consider...

Try to eliminate (re-write) formulas with volatile functions like INDIRECT, OFFSET, etc.
Do not reference whole columns in the formulas.
Try to re-write your array formulas as range-processing formulas with SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, etc.
Do not use conditional formatting and other color formatting profusely.
Try to convert the look up formulas with exact match to ones with approximate match.
