Hey there!
So, I'm messing around in Excel 2007 with a massive spreadsheet—we're talking roughly 20,000 rows pulled from all sorts of ancient versions of Excel. Every single time I try to do something basic, like filtering a column or just changing a font, the whole thing crawls for like 20 minutes. Honestly, half the time it just completely freezes up on me, and I have to go full "End Task" in the Task Manager just to get my life back. I get that processing this much data takes a second, but is it really supposed to be this painful? Is there any way to fix this mess so it actually works like it's supposed to?
thanks!
