I have a slow sheet

I have a smart sheet that has about 2400 rows with multiple sections this has been going since 2014 however it is running very slow. How can I fix this or can it be fixed?

Sheet and File Size Limitations

Smartsheet has set size limits on both your sheets and the files you import to ensure you experience the best performance of our application.

Size limit for your sheets:

Maximum rows: 5,000
Maximum columns: 200
Maximum cells: 200,000

Size limit when importing files:

Max rows: 5,000
Max columns: 200

Things that can impact on performance are:

Conditional Formatting
Nested Multi Parameter Formula
Linked Cells

My Tips

Archive data from previous years out to seperate sheet
Create New sheet Each FY - If exactly the same as others then use report across all sheets to Interrogate data
