Identifying Challenges: Two Approaches Data-Driven Based on telemetry data (API usage, latency), engineering team analyzes and optimizes Excel back end – no changes required to your code. Customer-Driven Based on developer feedback (Stack Overflow, GitHub), our team publishes best-practices guidance.
Data-Driven Improvements • Data import is a common fundamental scenario, so this has been a major area of focus. • Range-write API performance for data import has been significantly improved (and has started rolling out to builds across all platforms): • ~1K cells – 88% improvement • ~10K cells – 90% improvement • ~100K cells – 57% improvement • Worksheet-add performance has been improved by 92% • Next focus area: adding table rows
Performance Feedback: example https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/issues/12 This issue led to both internal performance optimizationsin Excel, and publication of best-practices guidance.
Customer-Driven Improvements • We have started publishing best-practices guidance and code samples for specific scenarios. • Scenarios covered to date: • Minimize the number of sync() calls • Minimize the number of proxy objects created • Load necessary properties only • Suspend calculation temporarily • Update all cells in a range • Importing data into tables • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/excel/performance
