Incredibly slow worksheet

Hi,

I have a workbook which is running very slow in just one worksheet. It is almost unworkable. I cannot scroll, the page constantly freezes and occasionally the workbook crashes. When it does work I can use the other worksheets without any issue. The worksheet in question has a lot of formulas in but is only around 330 rows.

I have tried the following with little improvement:

  • Converted the file from .xlsx to .xlsb which reduced the file size from 24MB to 7MB;
  • Tuned on manual formula calculation;
  • Deleted all rows below the last row of data; and
  • Deleted some unneeded worksheets.

None of the above have made much difference. If anyone has any tips I would be very grateful as there is some important data in the worksheet.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
do you have volatile formulas, you might consider adjusting the iteration from options
