hotfix works!

[Guest]

I complained in a recent posting about very very slow refresh times for Excel
2007 charts, especially for charts whose axis were not default ranges or for
worksheets with large data sets. I am pleased to say that the hotfix posted
at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938538 has provided an incredible increase
in speed. There is now almost no perceptible chart redraw or refresh time,
even in a very large data set with more than 70K rows. Wow!

My personal experience was that the hotfix did improve chart redrawing
significantly, but it was still vastly slower than in 2003. A colleague
shared actual times with me that validated my unscientific conclusions.

I suspect "mk" is in the employ of Microsoft.

Jim:
Unfortunately a "no" to your claim. I work at a NW area university and am a
long time and heavy user of Excel. I was amazed at the response (and still
am).

?

I realize this is an older thread and possibly not even the place to post an inquiry, but I'm having difficulty applying this Hotfix to Excel 2007.

I recieve an error message 'The expected version of the product was not found on the system'.
I have checked for and installed all updates both on my Windows XP and Office software.

Any ideas as to why this may be happening?

Thanks for any direction that someone can give.
