Re: [PLUG] Large spreadsheets


I've never had any problems working on large spreadsheets in Gnumeric but I always work on them in .gnumeric format.

Sounds like performance for editing is OK, just open/save ?

Are you saving natively?   I've found opening Excel format in LibraOffice much
slower than native.   Can you just leave it open for the day ?   Then you just
save and take your coffee break.

Upgrade your system disk to SSD ?

Hey all,

Does anyone have any recommedations for spreadsheet programs which can open large spreadsheets?

How many rows?
 

I'm working on a spreadsheet which I didn't think was all that big, I've tried LibreOffice and Gnumeric so far and both are painfully slow, Gnumeric is faster than LibreOffice. But it takes minutes to open and then minutes to save.
Excel running in a Windows virtual machine is faster than either one.


In that case, why not run Excel in the VM?  It seems like the most sensible solution.
