Wonderful comparison. Thanks Jon.
Hi Jon.. thanks for the performance comparison. Nice to keep in mind that while there are multiple ways to solve problems, there can be a performance penalty for selecting one method vs. another. Thanks for the insights. Thumbs up! PS - I downloaded the workbook so I could see how you set up the timer routine.. simple and elegant. Thanks for that example also.
can you share how you made that macro for calculating calculation time?
Thank you Jon as usual I have a question regarding conditional formatting For example If cell A2 is yes >> then format cell A1 with green This is easy My question is, is there any way to do this condition for cell B2 to ZZ2 easily rather than applying it many times?
What is the command for calculating speed?
Thankyou for your video.. But why my vlookup choose can't work. Its work normally when i changed the comma to backslash (choose({1\2};,,,)
I have the same problem with vlookup + match. I will try to change it to index + match. I also could not find any proper information anywere about how excel uses computers. Anyone knows what is important on a computer for better excel performance? I am using macbook air m1, 8 gb ram and 256 ssd. I often end up crashed excel while working on pivot tables with vlookup + match, (including, data sources are 4 different sheet, pivot tables with vlookup + match formulas are 10 different calculation sheet, each calculation sheet is around 10.000 rows, the excel workbook is 40 MB). I checked activity monitor during calculation. I noticed cpu is working with 100% during calculation. As I know excel uses single core. Is it right, or excel uses multi core? So, If I change my laptop to any other laptop what should I care more? A cpu with more core or a cpu with higher clock speed or higher ram? According to activity monitor my cpu is the weak chain. What would you recommend if you had any experience? Thanks.
Need your help to design a formula to get a unique code in excel, for example I have “Received” word in cell A1 and I want to build a unique code in B2 cell, formula result should capture “R” then today’s date like 290919 (29 day, 09 month & 19year) then add two random numeric digits to make these codes unique and non-duplicate. Code should looks like R29091932 (32 is random numeric digits). I have thousands of entries and results in B2 columns must not duplicate with all above codes. Thank you.
We need our IT to upgrade us so we get XLOOKUP in our excel! Index&Match has been pretty good for me in the meantime.
