Under formulas, there is calculation option. There is a drop down to turn your calcs to manual. Maybe that will stop the threads

Remove any formulae that use columns in that table, eg vlookups. There may be ways to optimise the formulae, eg vlookup approx match = false is very slow, or changing the structure a lot, eg using pivot tables and getpivotvalue.

Thank you everyone so it’s on manual calculation now. Does anyone know the difference between manual and automatic calculation? Like how will this affect my work or will it?

If you are sorting and filtering the data to investigate the raw data, you wouldn’t need to calculate unless you’ve changed calculation columns or any aggregating sheets

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females.

It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
