As it stands, it takes more than a day to backtest 1 month worth of data.
If it is taking this long, there must be something unusual about the spreadsheet that involves a lot of calculations and you must not be actually following the advice we gave to improve performance. There is no reason it should take this ridiculously long if you follow these instructions here:
Auto Trade System Back Testing: Improving Back Test Performance of Spreadsheet Trading Systems

You need to perform a bar based back test.

We would normally expect a back test of a month of data to be done in a matter of minutes.
