Anyone experiencing UI issues with Excel Labs?
Our take
Experiencing UI issues with Excel Labs can be frustrating, especially when the add-on enhances your spreadsheet experience. If you're encountering stuttering and lag while navigating cells, rest assured you're not alone. Many users appreciate the advanced formula environment but find the persistent slowdowns disruptive. Although closing and reopening the workbook temporarily resolves the issue, it's understandably inconvenient to do this repeatedly. Let’s explore some strategies to improve your experience without sacrificing the valuable features you enjoy in Excel Labs.
For a while, the Excel Labs add-on seemed to work fine for me. For a few months now I've been getting a lot of stuttering issues in Excel. These make the UI slow and unrensponsive, but have nothing to do with actual calculations being executed; just clikcking or moving through cells becomes laggy.
If I close the workbook and open it again it fixes itself, but going through that multiple times an hour feels wrong.
Any tips? I really like the advanced formula enviroment and kinda don´t wanna uninstall it.

- Excel buffering while working between 2 workbooksHi everyone, Since the second last Office update, working in split screen with multiple excels has become very tiresome. When working between 2+ workbooks, my excel suddenly needs a few seconds to "load" the excel book before I can start interacting with it. Since the same update, it is almost impossible to work in a shared excel because everytime an edit is made by a different user, it has to restart to reflect the changes. While I can probably learn to live with these issues, I would prefer not to. It is quite frustrating. I have tried looking for this issue only but haven't had any luck. I would really appreciate it if anyone has any insight on how to fix these problems. Thanks! Edit: my excel version is Microsoft Excel for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2603 Build 16.0.19822.20086) 64-bit submitted by /u/Emotional-Revenue309 [link] [comments]
- Has Excel been garbage for other people lately, too?I’ve used it for over a decade and just this past year, I feel like it’s having an issue at least everyday. It’s mostly with the focus switching to the wrong workbook, clicking in cells not being registered correctly, and some keyboard shortcuts just breaking randomly until I restart. Working in excel used to be a pleasure; now it annoys me at least a couple times a day. I mostly just needed to vent because wtf Microsoft? Edit: to clarify, I’m using the Microsoft 365 version which is probably part of the problem. submitted by /u/TheInternetShill [link] [comments]
- 'Research' freezes my Excel 16Alt + Left click is a shortcut for research in Excel 16, and it is causing an annoying problem for me. When I open any excel workbook and "Alt + Left click on a cell for the first time", my excel stops working for roughly 3 minutes. It happens even on an empty sheet. After 3 minutes, Excel eventually works. Alt + clicking on a cell does not freeze Excel anymore. But the problem is not gone. Normally, moving from a cell to another by clicking should take zero time. But, when I click on a cell and then alt + click on another, the cursor stutters for a split second like running a game on a computer that fails to meet the requirements. I asked AIs to fix the problem but they failed equally. Things I tried: Disabling Research through VBA. - I ran a code on the immediate panel(the thing that Ctrl + G opens). The code looks like : "Application.CommandBars("Research").Enabled = False" - I don't like it because its only temporary. - Most importantly, the 3 minute freeze is still there. (I really hope to know why) Disabling Hardware Acceleration - It didnt work. Resetting Microsoft Office Applications through Windows Setting. - Even this didnt work. Disabling Add ins. - I dont have any active Add in. Removing Excel file in appdata folder - It didnt work. Could anyone suggest me a thing to try? submitted by /u/asdf9999999999 [link] [comments]
- my excel freeze for even simple things like boldening/italicising cells. why? solution?i have an excel file i maintain. its a small file, not big, a few kb. but sometimes, when formatting cells, say bolding text or italicising, my excel stops responding and freezes. the cells arent links, they just contain bog standard text of one or two words. it doesnt happen all the time, but occasionally. but its still annoying. my own laptop has excel 2021. my work laptop has 365 and sometimes it happens there too, so i think this is some sort of problem with excel generally. has anyone else experienced this and can advise on a solution? thakns submitted by /u/Illustrious_Fig_8537 [link] [comments]
