The below table is my data.

My worksheet consists of order numbers. In my desired output I am trying to put a unique list of part names as shown below.

Currently I am using this formula =ARRAYTOTEXT(SORT(UNIQUE(FILTER(C2:C7,(A2:A7=A16)*(B2:B7="R"))))) but it seems to make my excel file operate slowly whenever I move around the workbook.

Would there be a faster formula to achieve the same output using formulas?

If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
You could try to replace ARRAYTOTEXT by TEXTJOIN but the functions you are using should not slow down your workbook. Any chance you are e.g. using some volatile functions like OFFSET?

I have the below formulas across many columns in just one sheet. But it's very slow when auto refreshing.
I'm planning to copy paste these formulas onto more than 20 sheets in the same excel workbook, so I'm not sure how that would work considering it takes long to update on just the one sheet at the moment

=SUMIFS($AD:$AD,$R:$R,$A1182:$A1350,$AA:$AA,"R")
=SUMIFS($AD:$AD,$R:$R,$A1182:$A1350,$S:$S,K$1179)+SUMIFS($AD:$AD,$R:$R,$A1182:$A1350,$S:$S,K$1180)+SUMIFS($AD:$AD,$R:$R,$A1182:$A1350,$S:$S,K$1178)
=IF(COUNTIFS($S:$S,K1179,$R:$R,$A1182:$A1350,$AA:$AA,"r"),"Yes", "No")
=IFERROR(ARRAYTOTEXT(SORT(UNIQUE(FILTER(FILTER($S:$S,($R:$R='Sheet2'!$A1182)*($AA:$AA="R")),ISNA(XMATCH(FILTER($S:$S,($R:$R='Sheet2'!$A1182)*($AA:$AA="R")),$AQ$1174:$AQ$1180)))))),"")
=ARRAYTOTEXT(SORT(UNIQUE(FILTER($S:$S,($R:$R='Sheet2'!$A1182)*($AA:$AA="E")))))

Get rid of the whole column references in the last two formulae, that is probably what is slowing down the file.
Also you can change the 2nd formula to
Excel Formula:
=sum(SUMIFS($AD:$AD,$R:$R,$A1182:$A1350,$S:$S,torow(K$1178:K$1180)))

Oh wow, thank you for your formula 🙏
Although, is it supposed to work as an array formula?

Regarding getting rid of the whole column references in the last two formulae, I'm currently pointing to it like that because the column has either R or E values (representing revenue or expenses).
I'm trying to extract unique codes for either revenue or expense (while excluding specific codes).
For example, for this shipment, the revenue codes are: "Wheel, Tyre, Rims". And if we exclude Wheel, then the output should is: "Rims, Tyre"

As for the other formula, that is just producing all the codes for either revenue or expense for each shipment.

The table of data has many rows and columns, this is just a reduced version for reference.

You should never use entire columns when using arrays, limit the range to something more suitable like
Excel Formula:
=ARRAYTOTEXT(SORT(UNIQUE(FILTER($V2:$V50000,($U2:$U50000=R24490)*($W2:$W50000="r")))))

Oh I see, noted, will do.

For your SUMIFS/TOROW formula, I've put it in cell S24480, is it supposed to work as an array formula so that the results spill down? Or should I use each row (e.g. R24480) as the search value?
Also, would one be faster than the other, or both would operate at the same speed?

No it's not meant to spill, it will do exactly what the formula you posted does.
