Hi guys - hope you can help.
I recently produced a toolkit for a fuel cell company using Excel 2007.
The toolkit undertakes calculations on domestic energy demand data sets which record values for every 5 minute period (e.g. heat demand, electricity demand) of the whole year. Therefore the toolkit at present is extremely large - simply because it stores thousands of rows of formulae.
(N.B - I am sure i could have done things in a far more expedient way but the client likes the current format)
My question relates to errors the client is now receiving from the toolkit following handover.
He is getting errors such as "Excel cannot complete this task with the given resources" when he tries to open and operate the toolkit. However, when he looks at CPU useage there is still plenty of RAM/page file space available.
I wanted to ask whether anyone knows if Excel 2007 actually has its own file size/computational speed limits independent of the performance of the wider computer - this could help explain why the client is getting errors even on a very powerful and fast machine.
Hope you can help and advise.
Thanks,
Sam
