Why is my range sorting so much faster than when I turn it into a table?












0















I have a large range, about 100k lines, 150 columns.



It sorts in about 25 seconds when it's in a range.



When I convert the entire range into a table (And convert the formulas into table formulas), it takes a few minutes to do the same sort.



Does anyone have any idea why this is?
