    Slow Spreadsheet

    Hi,

    I have a sheet within a spreadsheet that is running extremely slow, to the point where it sometimes makes my PC crash. Is there an easy way of diagnosing where the problem lies and fixing it?

    Thanks,
    Anthony

    Is there any VBA code, does it have an excessive number of formulas, particularly Array Formulas
    Hope that helps.

    No not too many formulas. I've just noticed there seems to be a whole column with loads of images all the way down it. Is there a way of removing them all at once?
