The sheet contains almost 700 rows and column AT. Not all the columns are occuppied only labelled till AT. but all the columns are with filter. 3 columns are having a vlookup to next sheet. the sheet is responding in snail pace, not snail is better than this. this is happening with this sheet only,

wht cud be the reason. i searched this to check some similar disucssion was here but cudnt find in this forum.

dissecting out the code on this page that repeats all the way down

Code: 
    Range("G3").Value = "=(RC[1]&""/""&RC[2]&""/""&RC[3]&""/""&RC[4]&""/""&RC[5])"
    Range("Q3").Value = Range("P3") * Range("O3").Value
    Range("R3").Value = Range("N3").Value
    Range("T3").Value = Range("S3").Value * Range("O3").Value
    Range("U3").Value = Range("S3").Value * Range("Q3").Value
    Range("Z3").Value = Range("X3").Value * Range("Q3").Value
    'Range("AA3").Value = Range("X3") * Range("Y3").Value + 1 ' not useable
    Range("AA3").Value = Range("AA3").Value
    Range("AB3").Value = Range("O3").Value * Range("AA3").Value
    Range("AD3").Value = Range("O3").Value * Range("AC3").Value
    Range("AG3").Value = Range("AA3").Value * Range("AF3").Value
    Range("AJ3").Value = Range("AI3").Value * Range("AG3").Value
    Range("AK3").Value = Range("O3").Value * Range("AJ3").Value
    Range("AL3").Value = Range("AJ3").Value + Range("AG3").Value
    Range("AM3").Value = Range("O3").Value * Range("AL3").Value
    Range("AM3").Value = "=IF(LOOKUP(D3,'Mark Up Category'!$A$4:$A$27)=D3,LOOKUP(D3,'Mark Up Category'!$A$4:$A$27,'Mark Up Category'!$B$4:$B$27),NA())"
    'Range("AO3").Value = Range("AL3").Value + Range("AC3").Value
    'Range("AO3").Value = Range("AO3").Value
    'Range("AO3").Value = Range("AO3").Value * Range("AN3").Value
    Range("AP3").Value = Range("O3").Value * Range("AO3").Value
    Range("AQ3").Value = Range("AM3").Value + Range("AD3").Value + Range("AP3").Value
    Range("AQ3").Value = Range("AQ3").Value
    Range("AQ3").Value = Range("AQ3").Value / Range("O3").Value
    Range("AR3").Value = Range("O3").Value * Range("AQ3").Value

I was looking to see what could be picked up in VBA and paste the value rather than recalculate

O is a strange value line 3 as "=1.3-0.5"

maybe this will trigger some thoughts

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
The reason of issue is in 57512 empty (invisible without selection) rectangular autoshapes in sheet BOQ.
You can find first rectangular over the cell M328

Deleting of those autoshapes will solve the issue.
But in Excel 2007 it’s too long, seems that it never ends because Microsoft Office Program recovery process is activated for rebuilding workbook at each shape deleting.

The faster way:
1. Rename "Test file.xlsx" to "Test file.zip"
2. Open archive "Test file.zip" in explorer, delete the folder XL\DRAWINGS in it and save changes of archive
3. Rename back "Test file.zip" to "Test file.xlsx"
4. Open "Test file.xlsx" in Excel 2007, ignore warning message about autoshapes deleting, save workbook. Now it’s fast.

Alternatively you can save workbook in XLS format and apply such VBA code to delete autoshapes:
Rich (BB code): 

Sub ShapesDelete()
  Sheets("BOQ").Rectangles.Delete
End Sub
After that you can save the cleaned XLS as XLSX

Small tip: If you would have opened the selection pane (home tab, binoculars button on the far right), then you'd have spottd all those shapes yourself...

I too have suffered from this and cannot figure out how I got "infested".

I have to include a "Shape.Delete" routine to keep them at bay.

Does anyone know how they "creep" in?

Cheers,
Scott

Brilliant! Thank you, your post saved me a lot of time! I had 600x32 cells with CF, and copying and pasting (with a macro) just appended more CF every time. in the end I just pasted values and this has solved my problem.

I can think of a number of things:

- many objects on the sheet (possibly hidden or of zero width)
- A lot of Conditional formatting.

Excel 2007 has a bug where copying a range with a CF on top of another range with also a CF will add the copied CF on top of the existing one, rather than replacing the CF. If your sheet undergoes a lot of copying and pasting and has CF applied, this may cause lots and lots of CF rules in your sheet.
