Excel crashes when editing a filtered list

1.8k Views Asked by At

I have a large (5000 row by 45 columns) list I import from as a csv from another software package. It contains reasons that are not always accurate, so I filter by reasons and review comments in another column to correct the reason. Quite often when I do this, Excel will stop and either crash completely or restart with a recovered file. I cannot use find and replace as sometimes the reason is correct. Is this normal behavior for Excel??

No, this is not the expected behavior for Microsoft Excel, I work with huge databases and have not seen this happening. I would suggest you look into your computer specs, specially memory. Can it handle that amount of information? Best of luck.
