These functions can replace the slow VBA UDFs typically used in previous versions. TEXTJOIN and CONCAT let you easily combine text strings from ranges of cells. These functions have good performance characteristics and should be used to replace equivalent array formulas. MAXIFS and MINIFS extend the COUNTIFS/SUMIFS family of functions. 1000 introduced several very useful new worksheet functions: However Excel 2016 was 5-10% slower than Excel 2010 on this test. 2058 shows a 15-20% speed improvement compared to Excel 2013 when adding and deleting large numbers of worksheets. My test on copying 44000 cells with a total of 386000 conditional format rules showed a substantial improvement: This has been significantly improved in Excel 2016 build. In Excel 2013 copy/pasting cells containing conditional formats could be slow. For a Range the time went from 30 seconds in Excel 2013 and 13 seconds in Excel 2010 to virtually instantaneous in Excel 2016.
For a Table the time went from 39 seconds in Excel 2013 and 18 seconds in Excel 2010 to 2 seconds in Excel 2016.My test on copy pasting 22000 rows filtered from 44000 rows showed a dramatic improvement: This area has been substantially improved in build. In the past you could see very slow response after pasting a copied column of cells from a Table with filtered rows where the filter resulted in a large number of separate blocks of rows.
Opening a workbook with many filtered or hidden rows, merged cells or outlines could cause high CPU load.Ī fix in this area was introduced in build. 2058 has made these operations much faster. An improvement made to the internal calculation of vertical user interface positions in build. Performance was highly dependent on the count of all rows between the top visible row and the bottom visible row. In Excel 2013 after Filtering or Sorting or Copy/Pasting many rows Excel could be slow responding or would hang. The Excel 2016 team studied a number of large workbooks that show slow response when using Filtering, Sorting and Copy/Pasting, and a number of improvements have been made: My test showed an editing operation that took 1.9 seconds in Excel 2013 and Excel 2010 took about 2 milliseconds in Excel 2016.įor more details see Why Structured References are Slow in Excel 2013 but fast in Excel 2016. This led to the perception that Tables should not be used with large numbers of rows. In some circumstances editing Excel Tables where formulas in the workbook use Structured References to the Table could be slow with Excel 2013 and previous versions.

My test on a workbook with 6 million formulas using full column references failed with an Out of Memory message at 4 GB of virtual memory with Excel 2013 LAA and with Excel 2010 but only used 2 GB virtual memory with Excel 2016. 1000 substantially reduces the memory and CPU used in these circumstances. Previously, workbooks using large numbers of full column references and multiple worksheets, for example =COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,Sheet3!A1), might use large amounts of CPU and memory when opened, or rows were deleted.Īn improvement in Excel 2016 build.

To download a tool that shows how much virtual memory is available and how much is being used see Excel Memory Checking Tool Full Column References LAA doubles available virtual memory from 2GB to 4GB when using 64-bit Windows, and increases available virtual memory from 2GB to 3GB under 32-bit Windows.įor more details see LAA Capability Change for Excel LAA has now been enabled for 32-bit versions of Excel 2013 and Excel 2016, and will minimize out of memory error messages. And many Excel customers have found it difficult to migrate to 64-bit Excel because they use third-party addins and controls that are not available in 64-bit versions. Large Address Aware (LAA) Memory improvement for 32-bit ExcelĪlthough 64-bit Excel has extremely large virtual memory limits, 32-bit Excel has been limited to 2 Gigabytes (GB). This post discusses some of the features that have been introduced in Excel 2016 that you can use to improve performance with large or complex workbooks.
