Speeding up calculations

Lemur
in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Featured Replies

Hello,

I'm working on finalizing my database -- I've come a long way!

Regrettably, the wall I've recently hit is a pretty big one. A lot of my calculations in one file take AGONIZINGLY long to compute. I even tried to store them, but I'm unable to do so.

I have the entire file zipped up and posted here -- if you check it out, look at the file called "Players" - and then, check out the layout copy #1 -- the time to refresh the screen is horrible.

If anyone can help - please email me at [email protected] - I look forward to any suggestions that can be made to speed up the calculations.

Thanks!

Chris

Figured it out...

By changing the fields from "calculations" to either text or number, with an auto-entered calculation, I could manually force the field to be indexed - yes, it's slightly bigger, but the calculations are immediate, it seems...

They're not dynamic calculations now - but, I don't know that they necessarily need to be...I'll have to do some more testing; but I'm happy with the speed, currently...
