Dear Vinu, I am behind my lots of emails and still catching them.
Suggestions from my side:- - SumProduct is faster thean SumIf, so you can use SumProduct. - Pivot table is again going to be on a higher side of calculations. - Move to the last row of data in your spreadsheet and delete all the below rows and same can be done for columns. - If you have formulas, which are similar across the sheet, then after calculating you can copy paste all the formulas as values, leaving first row with formula. -- Thanks & Regards, DILIP KUMAR PANDEY MBA-HR,B.Com(Hons),BCA Mobile: +91 9810929744 dilipan...@gmail.com dilipan...@yahoo.com New Delhi - 62, India On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 7:38 PM, Vinu <vinu1sm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Dililp, > > Hope you are doing well!! > I have one query..
