I have 12k rows with 17 columns of data. I have multiple weeks of data I need to compare. First I need to reduce my rows depending on criteria listed in different columns. Then I need to compare the remaining data as to what new rows I have gained each week and what rows I have lost each week.

MAC OSX MS Office 2011 - I have one (v.important) spreadsheet that has become VERY slow and unresponsive. It's 3000 lines x 12 columns. It has remained this size, but with different data, for several years without issue. All cells just data except two cols with a very simple formula in. No macros. Copying one cell to another takes minutes. Copying, say 5 cells hangs up, copying more crashes. Tried opening in Open office and Apple Numbers and Excel on a different (windows) machine. More or less same result. Other spreadsheets OK. Have set calculation to manual. Any ideas?

I've got a misbehaving spreadsheet that won't allow copy without either slowing right down or crashing. Original file is around 3500 lines and 15 columns but for testing I've cut this right down...eventually to just one cell. Still have same problem.

I have a file that has three tabs of misc formulas for calculating profit. Tab 1 = Income , Tab 2 = Expenses, Tab 3= Profit. Each tab has multiple calculations based on various inputs. The main variable I want to change is the “Run Time” This changes the amount of income and expenses based on that. I’m trying to make a 4th tab that has a chart of 5 or so columns of different run times. I want to be able to enter say 5 different run times and have it populate chart with profits (income and expenses too) for each run time in this chart.
