I have an excel file with approximately 75 columns and 25,000 rows, the majority of which contain forumulas. If I change something in my file (for example adding a new column with formula) and then want to save my file, this takes about half an hour. At the bottom of the file it says "(4 threads), calculating: 0%". This percentage then increases very slowly until 100% is reached after half an hour. This is of course very annoying and I wonder how I can reduce the saving time?
The long saving time may be caused by the fact that a number of columns contain the following complex formula: = IF (OR (ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"11-jewel"; "12-jewel"; "13-jewel"; "14-jewel"; "15-jewel"; "16-jewel"; "17-jewel"; "18-jewel"; "19-jewel"; "20-jewel"}; $ BQ2)); (ISNUMBER(SEARCH( {"11-jewel"; "12-jewel"; "13-jewel"; "14-jewel"; "15-jewel"; "16-jewel"; "17-jewel"; "18-jewel"; " 19-jewel ";" 20-jewel "}; $ BT2)))); 1; 0).
Can this formula be rewritten to a simpler variant? The goal is that the formula displays 1 when one of the search terms in the quotation marks appear either in column BQ OR BT.
I hope someone can help me.
Sincerely,
Bas van den Boomen
