Excel hangs on calculation

[snobordr]

Ok, I got a three sheet excel file that I cannot get to run calculation on.

Sheet 1 has ~4000 rows, 10 columns. Each row has a VLOOKUP and two INDEX statements.

Sheet 2 has ~8000 rows, 4 columns, the data is imported via SQL query.

Sheet 3 has ~4000 rows, 4 columns, this data is imported from a text file.

The VLOOKUP command on Sheet 1 references Sheet 2. Each row on Sheet 1 has two INDEX statements, one statement each references Sheets 2 and 3.

When I get all the data in and try to calculate, I get to 30% then Excel hangs, hard and forces a kill process and restart situation. All the INDEX statments appear correct, all the VLOOKUP statements are correct, but neither returns data that is in the referenced cells, some come up good, some come up N/A but then, calculation never completes.

Help, I need this to work.

I did try regenerating the files by copying the template portions of the sheet over and re-making the necessary macros and queries....

If you want/can, you can try to upload the file to www.savefile.com, to see
what is the problem inside...

(I'm not sure of names of menus, options and commands, because
translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

On Sheet 1, find and replace all "=" by "=". This will rebuild the dependency tree, which might help.
