Index Match Function Too Slow

Anonymous

I have two very large files. My reference document with all of my date information is 54,000 rows and the document I'm trying to match to and pull the dates into is 25,000 rows and goes out to column CH.

I'm trying to run an Index Match to fill in dates for the entire matching sheet but it's very slow. I started running the formula and after an hour I was at 7%. Is there a faster way I can index information that the formula I am using below?

=IFNA(INDEX('[workbook]sheet!$A$1:$J$54632,MATCH(1,('[workbook]Sheet'!$A$2:$A$54632=$A2)*('[workbook]sheet'!$E$2:$E$54632=B$1),0),10),"")

I am matching a unique ID in Column A and the Column header to my reference document.

    Hi,

    With that much data, the processing will become slow.  If you can share both workbooks and your requirement, we can try to use the Power Query to see if the performance improves.
