Hello, I'm looking for the possibility of shortening the formula i currently have its really slowing down my excel and takes a long time to load.

Excel Formula:
=IF(AND(Expense!C2='P&L Month'!$I$5,COUNTIFS(Expense!$C$2:Expense!C2,Expense!C2,Expense!$D$2:Expense!D2,Expense!D2)=1),"YES","")

keeping in mind that I'm going to drag the formula down to row 5000. Since I'm referencing different tab sheets i was thinking about using name manager not sure if that would help. Any ideas? if you need more information please let me know.

Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
By using 2 IF's instead of AND you can bypass the slower COUNTIFS function when C2 is not a match for $I$5.
Excel Formula:
=IF(Expense!C2='P&L Month'!$I$5,IF(COUNTIFS(Expense!$C$2:Expense!C2,Expense!C2,Expense!$D$2:Expense!D2,Expense!D2)=1,"YES",""),"")
Other than that, you could try different functions in place of countifs to see if anything is quicker, but to be honest I don't think that using that formula dragged down 5000 rows should be causing too much of a problem.

I set up a test sheet with 5000 rows of random data and it takes 2 seconds to load with your original formula (which will include the time it takes for the test data to randomise).
