    Deleting 70,000 cells is freezing up excel

    Hello. I have 70,000 countif cells down a column. I'm trying to delete them all because they bog down excel. I turned automatic calculations off but everytime I try to delete it freezes excel. This doesn't seem super taxing. Any ideas how to get it to stop freezing?

    Try copy paste values on your column before deleting it.

    I ended up just starting over on the file, but that's good advice with the macro. I'll try that next time excel gets bogged down. Thanks.
