Hi
Has anyone noticed if AGGREGATE() processes data faster than SUBTOTAL() if you have a lot of data you are calculating?
Thanks.

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
In a simple test, Aggregate is about 1.4 times faster:

The data is correct, but the statement is wrong; SUBTOTAL is faster.
