I connected my excel to ODBC SQL Database(SQL Server) and now my excel pivot table is getting its data from the sql server VIEW. There is a total of about 1 million plus rows from the QUERY. From the data, I created new columns in excel to perform calculations. Everytime I performed a slicing and dicing from the drop down in Pivot Table, the formulas would need to be recalculate and it takes about 10 minutes for the calculation to be done. Is there a more efficient way to do this, because I cant make a user sit and wait for 10 mins to get the data they need.
Advice is appreciated.
