I had the same problem.
Try this:

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Charts.Add
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

The time is reduced significantly.

The code would run in five to ten seconds on Office 2000. The first time I tried to run in after our company upgraded to 2007 It just couldn't handle it. I went into the VBA editor and set a breakpoint early in the code so I could see where the backup was. Everything ran find until I reached the line "charts.add" That single line could take many minutes to complete, and subsequent operations on the chart were equally slow. Manual operations can also send Excel 2007 to the "not responding" penalty box for tens of minutes.

Normal operations like deleting rows while having the filter on will kill the program and it still has the audacity ask if i would like to save the file in their new xlsx format which isn't usable anywhere else..

I think buying Excel 2003 would have been enouph. The positive aspect to Excel 2007 is that it will use the 4 cores of CPU that we have on our server, when running automatic calculation (controlled by macros). The main negative aspect is the charting speed. It's so slow that we did not install Excel 2007 on other computers. Only the computer running the macro. That's sad of how Microsoft is going with his software (Vista, Office). I have Vista and Office 2k7 at home. It's good for me, but for work, it would not be good.

Removed that and it now works fine. So I would check you don't have that installed. John After a lot of investigation I discovered that Google desktop was slowing my Excel down on Vista.

I just bought a new computer with 3ghz core 2 cpu but it takes 1 min to run a function which on excel 2003 took only 2secs. Not only that, all of a sudden it starts to re-calculate everything, takes 10mins to save. but it has many new and interesting financial functions.. Excel 2007 on vista premium sucks.

I have the same complaints. Too Slow, hard to use etc. I have switched to Open Office to get my work done but Open Office is very limited. so with all of these complaints you would expect some answers to be trickling out of MS. Where can I find the answers I would like to get my MS Office working again? Perhaps I will need to downgrade to an earlier version. I see a lot of complaints. I have the same complaints.
