    calculating delay question

    I am using excel 2007 and I appear to have continual "calculating delays", which can run for fifteen minutes. I have approximately five columns of data that can take up to 50,000 rows downward. I know this is a lot of data, but should it take that long and bog down my computer or is there a problem with my spreadsheet in how it's calculating the data? I'm just curious if anyone else has this problem or if I'm doing something wrong.. Thanks in advance

    One of your calculations has the mouse cursor flying around the moon & Excel is waiting for it to return to your PC. (Just Joking)

    You pnly mention how much data you have. You do not mention haw much & what type of calculations are being carried out.

    Without knowing what is being calculated it is hard to say what is normal & what is slow.

    Have a look at the section on Calculation speed
