    Any alternatives to SUMIFS and COUNTIFS to speed up a workbook's calc time?

    I've got a large workbook with about 10,000 rows and 58 columns. Most of the cells have static data, however a number of columns use formulas/functions which include SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, INDEX, and MATCH.

    (The purpose of the workbook is to evaluate a variety of trader's track records and determine which ones might contribute toward an optimal portfolio. By changing column B from 0 to 1 allows me to turn on or off a particular trader's history).

    The problem is that making any change in the workbook, requires about 12-14 seconds to compute.

    I've attached a small section of the workbook, highlighting some of the columns which include the formulas I believe are slowing down the workbook.

    One which I suspect might be the culprit is this:

    The reason the array goes down 40,000 rows is so that I don't have to change the formula every time I add another 5,000 rows or so of data. Would it just complicate things if I counted the rows and used the ADDRESS function to tell the formula how many rows to search down?

    My computer is reasonably fast: 16Gig RAM and an AMD Ryzan 3 2200U CPU. (it doesn't have a SSD though. Could that slow down the workbook?).

    Thanks!

    You can add the data in a table, then your formula will use the end of the table.
    In that case you have always all data in your database.

    Have you tried Pivot Table for this kind of work?
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Indirect is Volatile function

    Maybe try at
    BL2
    =IF(AN2<>0,ROW(),BL1)

    BM3
    =IFERROR(IF(AN3<>0,0,AS3/MAX(AS2:INDEX(AS:AS,BL2))-1)*AM3,0)
