Calculation Engine

Optimized formula engine for faster calculations

The core processes have been refined to significantly accelerate formula evaluation across large worksheets.

Faster SUMPRODUCT calculations

The performance of worksheets using the SUMPRODUCT formula has been significantly improved, especially when working with multiple ranges and large datasets containing over 50,000 dependent cells. The Calculation Engine now reuses previously computed values instead of recalculating them, resulting in noticeably faster processing and delivering an overall performance improvement of about 37.5%.

Faster IF formula processing

Performance has been significantly improved for worksheets that rely heavily on IF formulas, especially in large spreadsheets containing thousands of rows and columns. The Calculation Engine now handles logic more efficiently, reducing unnecessary processing and delivering up to 75% faster performance in scenarios with extensive IF formula usage.

Force-directed tree layout

This feature utilizes a physics-based algorithm to dynamically arrange nodes for improved visualization. It attracts and repulses connected nodes to reduce overlaps and edge crossings. The result is a clean, intuitive layout that clarifies complex relationships in network analysis.
