Why am I seeing a blue bar in my report?

If you’re frequently seeing the blue bar in your reports, it’s a sign that complex formulas, excessive conditional formatting, or heavy calculations are slowing down its performance.

When a spreadsheet takes too long to process data, it can impact the functionality of other tools, including LiveFlow, by delaying updates or causing slow responses. This typically happens when formulas reference large data ranges, involve multiple nested calculations, or when too many conditional formatting rules are applied at once.

To improve performance, consider simplifying your formulas, reducing the number of conditional formatting rules, or breaking large datasets into smaller, more manageable sections. You might also try using helper columns, limiting the use of volatile functions, or switching to more efficient formula structures.

Optimizing these areas can help your spreadsheet run more smoothly and ensure that LiveFlow functions as expected.
