Worksheet runs slowly due to automatic calculation enabled.

Cause:


Automatic calculation is enabled. Whenever changes are made to the spreadsheet data, Excel automatically recalculates the spreadsheet. This uses more system resources, especially in larger spreadsheets.

Solution:


Select 'Options' from the 'Tools' menu and choose 'Manual' in the 'Calculation' group.

NOTE: To perform a manual calculation on a worksheet, press F9.
