It takes too much time to execute (preview) and upload the document in Excel.

To execute (preview) the content of a sheet, OZ in Excel pre-inspects the used range during the conversion process. If a cell or row is arbitrarily adjusted, then it may take a long time to convert the entire adjusted area to be recognized as the used area. In this case, you can reduce the conversion time by following the below instructions.

  1. Selects the entire first empty row after the created document area.
  2. Drag the vertical bar on the right with the mouse and drag it until the bottom of the screen. Then, press the Shift key and then select the last row.
  3. Right-click on the row and select Delete in the pop-up menu displayed to delete the entire  row.
  4. Delete columns in the same way.
  5. Save the document and execute again.

  2. Press the Windows key + r to open Run, and then enter regedit to open the registry editor.

I uploaded an Excel file with formula, but the formula is not applied.

Each component is a unique key value that is recognized in eformsign. Therefore, if there are duplicate IDs, a calculation error will occur when referring to the value.

Hence, cells containing different values must have different IDs.

Moreover, a cell from which the final value of a formula is derived does not require an input component.

if a text component is added, it is recognized as a space entered by the user and no calculation value is entered. Therefore, you need to delete all the components in the cell and specify only the ID.
