Optimizing Excel Performance: Speed Tests for Conditional Functions

When working with large data sets in Excel, performance can be a significant concern. Many formulas and functions can drastically affect calculation speed, potentially causing files to slow down or even become unresponsive. In this article, we will explore various conditional functions in Excel, their performance, and provide insights into optimizing formulas for improved speed and efficiency in workbook performance.

Testing Common Functions

In our tests, we put several popular conditional functions through their paces, including SUMIFS, DSUM, and SUMPRODUCT, using a dataset of over 110,000 rows.
