Slow to Open File

I

iamnu

I have a file with about 40,000 records.
All 40,000 records have hyperlinks in Column A.
This file takes about one minute to open, and is very slow to edit,
sort and modify!
When I remove Column A, the file opens quickly.

Is there a better way to store or reference my hyperlinks so that my
file will open/process more quickly?

Replace each hyperlink with the Hyperlink function...
=HYPERLINK(location, name to display)
The function uses less memory.
