    I'm having some performance issues with a workbook I created. There are some significant data tables (the largest is 38,000 records), and I use a lot of Index functions. I'm having performance problems (the spreadsheet stops to process every few minutes, and it can take up to a minute to...

    What's the best way to do a lookup?

    I have a very large data set (38,000 rows), and I have a lot of columns using lookups from reference tables on other sheets. I'm currently using Index. When I do anything in the workbook, it takes about 5 seconds for it to process. I'm wondering if Vlookup is quicker. Or is there another lookup...

When I added that formula to my spreadsheet suddenly everything slowed down (the formula is in about 20 cells). There is a half-second delay after I do anything in the spreadsheet (which...

    How to keep text from getting truncated by neighboring cell

    I have a block of cells that each have the same equation in them that inserts into the cell a symbol or text based on a formula.

    How to calculate an end date given a 6- and 7-day workweek?

    I'm using the Workday function in a workplan spreadsheet to calculate the due date of tasks given the start date, the number of days required for the task, and holidays. This assumes a 5-day work week. I'd like to also calculate due dates based on a 6- and 7-day workweek. I found the...

    I'm using named ranges within my workbook. One of my sheets (Sheet 1) has about 5 named ranges. Other sheets in my workbook refer to those ranges. But when I copy sheets that have nothing to do with the named ranges (e.g. sheets that do not refer to the ranges), I get a bunch of messages that...

    Appending a row to the bottom of a table [SOLVED]

    I would like to create a macro that copies a row of data on one sheet and appends it to the bottom of a table on another sheet. The only way I can figure out how to do it is to insert the copied row above the first row of data in the table (because I know that will always be row 2 of the...

    Help! I'm creating a template for a calendar, and I want to conditionally format the number cells so that if there's a holiday (e.g. text) in the cell below it, it will turn red. So, for example, I'd like the "1" for New Year's Day to be red because there's text in the cell below it. See the...
