Re: large worksheet runs very slow on Excel for Mac

Did you apply the latest updates for office 2008? I had same problem with a
32 sheet work book with 1200+ rows and about 60 columns (bill of
materials)
that did this till I updated my office now it works fine. Was also
accessing
it over lan.  Also had problems with it displaying results from a formula
unless I saved.  Upon updating office, both were cured.  On a macbook pro
10.5.4
