Do you have calculation set for manual (I didn't think so).

Maybe xl is calculating, but just gives a false message:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=243495
XL: Calculate Message Remains in Status Bar If 65,536 Formula References

(But lots of formulas can make xl slow down. Have you considered setting
calculation to manual and calculating only when you need to. Also, you may want
to take a look a Data|Pivottables. It might be a nice alternative than building
formulas.)

And from Debra Dalgleish's site for Filtering stuff:

(it has a link to the kb article that describes the problem and a couple of
workarounds)
 
Wow! So much information I don't even know where to
start!
Thanks for responding. I will take a look at the links
you provided.
