XL: Excel Does Not Run on Multiple Processors

View products that this article applies to.

Summary

Microsoft Excel is not designed to be a multiprocessor-aware program; it runs on only one processor. Although Excel uses multiple threads when performing a background query, it is not multiprocessor-aware. An operating system may run on multiple processors and may allow you to assign specific programs to run on specific processors, but an application program cannot run on more than one processor unless it is multiprocessor-aware.
