My excel takes an extremely long time to establish a connection to a query in another file, if at all. What could be behind the lag and what can I do to improve the situation? No error message ever appears. I just see the the message: 'Connecting Please wait while we establish a connection to (name of file)' for what seems like an eternity. The file to which I'm trying to establish a connection is on the same computer as the file with other related queries.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
