Re: [libreoffice-users] Conditional formatting and speed of calc

2013-03-22 Thread david_lynch
Many thanks, Jorge and Johnny, increasing memory improved the speed greatly
(and displayed some unusual fonts properly).

 Hi all

 I`m not sure but increasing memory in LO:

 Menu, Tools, Options, Memory

 or uncheck in spanish:

 Menu, Herramientas, Contenido de Celdas, Cálculo Automatico y luego usar
 F9 para recalcular todo.

  Johnny,
 
  Thanks for your reply. Further details:
 
  17 sheets
  about 105000 active cells
  largest sheet 256 by 112
  conditional formatting is on 60 cells and each test is a VLOOKUP on 30
  cells.

   Depends on what you are doing now. Exactly what do your conditions look
   like?
  
   For instance, if you test 80 cell values against all the values in a
   giant cell range, let's say 1 cells, then Calc needs to work
   through 1 cells 80 times.
  
   If you, for instance, test a cell value against highest value in a
   very big cell range, then it's better to calculate the max value in a
   cell, then comapre each of the 80 cells to that cell. Then the max
   calculation only needs to be done once.
  
   But I don't know what you did, so this is only a wild guess.
