Excel slow down
Excel slow down
(OP)
Any idea why my Excel would be running slower? I get files with digital oscilloscope data that have about 3000 rows of data, 6 to 12 columns. I usually have to zero and scale the data so I create additional columns. It used to take a couple of seconds to paste the formula into 3000 cells and let me proceed to the next operation. Now it is taking several minutes to do the same thing.Excel is using 100% of one CPU core the whole time.
I have looked through the tools/options but I have not found anything that made a difference.

Side note: If you are trying to scale for plotting purposes only, this might help:

RE: Excel slow down
If it's 2007 have you got the latest updates?
Have you installed any other new software at about the time of the slow down?
If you want to post a sample file we could check if it is slow on other computers.

It's Excel 2003 SP3. We do the automatic update thing so it should have all the latest patches. I have not installed any software but with the automatic updates Windoze & Office are always changing stuff on me. I can't control it, it's all done by corporate group policy. Same with the AV, it's McAfee, I can't turn it off.
The files are all on local network so there should not be any scanning going on but who knows.
I'll try to strip out some proprietary info and post a file.

Unfortunately, sometimes the "fix" that shouldn't make a difference is the answer ;)
