Folks,

I've researched till I'm blue in the face...literally. This is my last hope so I thought I would stop here. I've snooped around in these forums for awhile but never really posted. Thought maybe you all could help a brother out.

My excel seems fairly unstable, it crashes almost daily and I've learned that the cmd+s get's used more than any other quick key now. I'm not sure what to do.

I'm running every single update to both Office and the Mac and I still have issues with it.

The most repeatable crash that I can get to occur almost every time is running a "Text to Column" on about 300 cells in a column. This occurs with both the delimited function and fixed width. Being in property management, I have to pull constant reports from Yardi. Most all of the reports are 97-2004.xls, and the Text to Column is crucially important as I need to convert entire columns from text to number/accounting. Also, I need to remove strip/split certain cells. For instance, I need to split "5901.0000 Depreciation" into two separate cells for sorting purposes. Again, crucially important.

I'll post my hardware/software specs below. If you any of you have any ideas, please let me know. #frustrated
