Performance Optimization

To ensure optimal performance when working with large datasets and complex models, consider these recommendations:

Excel Models

Large Excel-based reports and models benefit from the following optimizations:

• Use Excel Binary Workbook (.xlsb) format for large models

• Minimize non-essential data in budgeting forms

• Split budget entry across multiple forms using Wildcard functionality

Planning and Modeling

The Planning and Modeling modules may require additional resources depending on your use case:

• Additional RAM may be required based on model complexity

• Performance scales with available system resources

Additional Considerations
