On a client VDI working with 1-2 gb of data (couple million rows) and no access to anything outside of ms access and excel. Normally I could get creative using office with my real hardware, but this VDI is so slow - any tips to increase performance (e.g. only using one screen, closing all other apps, etc.)? Or can I do nothing if the VDI virtual memory (<8GB RAM) and two core CPU just suck ?

Yes, the VDI sucks for your use case. It's likely they have larger spec available for other use cases, perhaps they could switch you over? Usually there's a budget per size VDI and there might be reserve you could use until either you complete your work or until they need it for the budgeted use.

There's an article with a bunch of tips (with how-to's) on the Microsoft Support site if you search for "Tips for improving Excel's performance". Direct link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/tips-for-improving-excel-s-performance-a8294ac5-652d-47f2-8e89-1c3ce2c09439
