Is Your Excel Workbook Feeling Sluggish?

We’ve all been there. 

You’re working on a critical spreadsheet, and suddenly, 

Excel starts dragging its feet. Cells take forever to recalculate, and opening the workbook feels like waiting for a slow elevator. 

Frustrating, right?

Here's a Cool Tip.  Use Excel's Check Performance feature.

Microsoft recently introduced the “Check Performance” feature for Windows—a game-changer for anyone who relies on Excel. 

What Is “Check Performance”?

“Check Performance” is Excel’s secret weapon against workbook bloat. It identifies and eliminates unnecessary formatted cells, streamlining your file and making it more responsive. 

Think of it as a digital detox for your spreadsheets.

Here's how to do it.

1. Open Excel (make sure you’re using Excel for the Web or Excel for Windows).
2. Open the workbook that’s been giving you grief.
3. Select Review> Check Performance.
4. If your workbook contains size bloat, Excel will kindly notify you with a business bar.
5. Click on the “Check Performance” button. It’s your ticket to a leaner, meaner workbook.
6. As you optimize, watch your workbook transform. Those pesky formatted cells vanish, and your file size shrinks.
