Slow Excel input on Mac, Thoughts
I have had the problem and see many other also experience super slow input in Excel on certain worksheets. I have been "unfreezing" newly opened Excel spreadsheets and since then have had no issues with waiting forever for the input to populate the cell. Since then I have saved spreadsheets at work, and made sure the cells were not "froze" and saved to the Cloud. I come home to and open it on my Mac and BANG - the cells open frozen and = super slow performance. Why does it do that? Open sheets with cell's unfrozen please.

Same problem, to the point where it is not workable. It is incredibly slow on all fronts: input, scrolling, etc. I have stopped using it. Other office programs work just fine
