Maximum size for Excel Worksheet

B

Bob I

Sounds like for that particular computer CPU and memory and background
program configuration, recalcing 11mb is a bit much. Different computer
will act differently.
User has an 11mb worksheet that takes awhile to calculate, just wondering if
there's a max. size limit per worksheet, before system start locking up.

:

An issue for whom? Each system will be different.

Hi C.C.,

You may want to also post this question in the MS Office Excel discussion group through the links below and include there the
version(s) of Excel you have available. Excel 2007, for example, supports a much larger spreadsheet model that prior Excel verions
especially when tied to the new Excel Services capabilities of Office 2007 Sharepoint services for server side spreadsheet
calculations can make a difference in performance.

Generally, the physical size of the spreadsheet, while a factor, is less of an influence than the number, complexitiy and
interdependence of the calculations within a sheet, but the folks in the Excel group may be able to provide some tips on improving
performance for a specific scenario and version.
