There are too many cells referenced by formulas in this sheet
Hi,
I get this message "There are too many cells referenced by formulas in this sheet" every time I load a specific sheet.
Then the sheet disappears & Chrome leaves this message: Aw, Snap, Error code: Out of Memory
Would anyone have an idea how to tackle this ?
I'll try to clean Chrome temporary files to get more available memory.
Are there best practices to reduce the memory countifs use ?
Are Datameshs more memory savvy than vlookups ?
Anything else I should think about ?
Thanks,
Pierre-Eric

Thanks JKHALID. Indeed this is probably a good one.
Since I posted this question I came to use Datamesh much more that vlookups.
There are other downsides to this solution like losing benefit of instantaneous result.
But at least it much more efficient memory-wise.

I hope you're well and safe!
What types of formulas do you have in it? How many columns/rows?
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi Andrée,
Thanks for the answer.
The sheet has 32 columns, 2077 lines.
Formulas are countifs & vlookups
I've managed to copy/paste values 1 column worth of vlookup formulas but the problem remains.
The sheet gives me 10 seconds before it crashes
Any additional help would be very much welcome !
Thanks

First error message (Smartsheet):
5 seconds later webpage crashes & browser (Chrome or Edge) through this message:

Did you try replacing the vlookup formula with index/match? It is known to be more efficient than a vlookup.
