Excel is slow?
which other mainstream spreadsheet software is capable of handling hundred of thousands rows as fast as excel?

- turc1656 7y agoExactly. People love to bitch about Excel but any other product I've tried fails miserably handling the many large files we have at work. I'm talking "epic failure" level performance from any other product I've tried. Most either can't even open the files or outright crash at some point along the way. Excel is also extremely powerful and, in my opinion, pretty fast when you consider it's basically an extremely advanced REPL software that also checks cell dependencies and evaluates/updates on the fly. Not to mention extended functionality through scripting (VBA).
