How to get Excel to work faster

[Guest]

I have a file, that is +- 200MB in size, and has +- 150 worksheets with 700
lines of formulaes in each worksheet.

Problem is that when I update the one sheet where the lookup is, it takes
about 10min to do the calculation.

I am also running a PIV 3Ghz HT with 1gig RAM.

How can I get Excel to perform faster?

Hi Siva

You could turn auto calculation off and then specify which cells to
calculate via vba

With Tools Options Calculation Manual, you will decide with F9 to
calculate only when it is really needed ...
