Excel 2007 (file converted from previous version of Excel through Save As and
also incorporates data from another spreadsheet in a previous version of
Excel)
I have been working with a spreadsheet that has developed a major error in
one worksheet after I have shut my computer down and restarted it. Once I
access the file again, every time I try to delete a row or column from the
worksheet, I get a "large operation" error message saying that "The operation
you are about to perform affects a large number of cells and may take a
significant amount of time to complete. Are you sure you want to continue?".
It then takes around 3-5 minutes to delete one row. The worksheet is not THAT
large (around 10,000 rows and 30 columns, but contains strictly data-no
formulas). This has happened twice, once with the original file and once with
an archived version of the file pulled by my IT Department. The other
worksheets in the file seem to be fine. I am using a workaround by copying
and pasting the data cells into another worksheet, but I still want to know
where this mystery data is coming from. Any ideas; my IT guys are stumped?
