When I use it to process data, Excel starts bogging down at four or five thousand rows of data points. Is there a workaround, or another spreadsheet program that won't choke?

Excel has a known issue (sluggishness) with Tables with a thousand rows where one or more columns contain cells with formulas. If you convert the Table into a range of cells (I know, it kind of defeat the excellent features of a Table), you will restore the speed to your workbook. Microsoft is aware of the issue. If you are using array formulas that refer to entire columns, then it is advised to change those formulas so that they see to a more restricted range of cells, say rows 2 through 6000. If you are using Volatile formulas, then those would be formulas using INDIRECT, OFFSET, RAND, NOW, or TODAY. Volatile formulas are recalculated whenever you enter data in any open workbook. As you might imagine, thousands of rows full of volatile formulas will spend a lot of time recalculating. In most cases, you can use alternative formulas that aren’t volatile. If you are using a lot of VLOOKUP formulas, then you make it a thousand times faster, if you sort the data table and then use the binary search form of VLOOKUP and MATCH. These are some of the tips for decreasing the bogging down of Excel. Hope this helps! read less
