Jun 23, 2015 Question: Q: why is excel on mac so slow In Excel for Mac (Office 2011), simple copy-paste operations can take a few seconds even with small files with no complex content. Sometimes Excel files also take very long to open. I was hoping to understand why Excel files within my Microsoft 2008 software on my new MacBook Pro run so slow. I have worked with these large Excel files on a PC for years. The same files on the Mac are running too slow to realistically convert my business to the Mac. For example, Copy and Paste functions as well as highlighting sections of the file are taking several seconds on the Mac. (about 10) Meanwhile, they are nearly instantaneous on the older PC running Microsoft 2002. Can anyone help me understand why large Excel files run faster on an older pc with Microsoft 2002 than the latest version on a new Mac? Is it just the nature of the newer version for Mac? Will an older version of the software help? [email protected] 5/7/2009, 22:17 น. ![]() Hi--I was experiencing slow turn around on EXCEL on my Mac, too. I called into Microsoft and a very helpful techie led me through this sequence--which clears up problems from corruption that may have been downloaded, imported, whatever. It sped my EXCEL up--so here's what you do: Click on your hard drive Go to USERS Go to Your 'HOUSE' user Then to LIBRARY Then look for COM.MICROSOFT Then for COM.MICROSOFT. Skype update for mac os sierra. EXCEL.PLIST Toss that puppy into the trash Then toss the folder MICROSOFT into the trash Now restart your computer and see if EXCEL is faster. Norton security mac review. It will take a bit longer to load because it will have to generate new plists --but these won't be corrupt, so it should run faster. Can do the same with WORD, but need to trash WORD.PLIST in that case. If the above doesn't work, call Microsoft Office Tech Support. You can get their no-charge option and ask 2 questions for free w/in 90 days. [email protected] 6/7/2009, 8:34 น. Hello I also have a similar problem - I trashed the com.microsoft and the folder 'Microsoft' ( although I did that slowly - wondering impact elsewhere? - also read this thread. Hello it seems like any column I am trying to COPY that has this formula in it --- JAMS --- --say -when I have a LOT ( more than 10,000 cells in a column ) =INDEX( range of cells, MATCH ( item, range of cells, 0 ), x ) where x is the column of data I want returned if a match. Have used this formula for a long time as being more accurate than vLookup The older version of Excel ( X ) does NOT jam.so I do the copy & paste special for values in the older - then continue on with Office 2008 I do not remember this jamming before I did the office update yesterday. However there is a SLOWNESS to the program on many things - like copy and sort that I did not remember in X version. Regards Greg H.
