Is the performance (speed in calculating, processing formulas, etc.) of Excel in the Office Standard edition slower than that of the Office Professional edition?

Question

Hello,

Please help to point out about the improvement in performance (speed in processing or calculating) of Excel in Home/Standard version compare with the Professional version, let say in Office Home and Business 2021 vs Office Professional 2021.

Thank you

Hi @Trinh, Thanh Vinh,

No, there are no performance differences between the Home/Standard and Professional versions of Excel within the same version of Office, including Office Home and Business 2021 versus Office Professional 2021. The differences between Home/Standard and Professional versions of Office are mostly related to additional features and tools included in the Professional version, such as Access, Publisher, and Skype for Business. These extra features generally do not affect the performance of Excel itself.
