    excel file slow

    Hi,

    Is there any way to compact excel file and make it run faster? My file is less than 1M, with 7 sheets and some sheets have formular and text, some have graphs. It seems so slow now.

    Please advice

    Hello sanlen,

    there are many possible reasons why your file is slow, among them

    - using volatile functions like Indirect, Offset
    - using array formulae or Sumproduct with large ranges (worst of all, whole column or row ranges)
    - using a lot of conditional formatting

    All these will cause Excel to either calculate after any cell is changed or do a lot of calculations at any one time.

    This is hard to troubleshoot without seeing the workbook. Can you post a few of the formulae you are using?
