Is it possible to force one thread of excel to use 100% of both CPU's on a dual processor (OS Win 200). i.e. wheni am not working on my computer i would like the cpy usage to be 100% (ie. both cpus at 100%) rather than 50%. thanks

No. The OS handles load balancing the workload between the two CPUs. It does the load balancing on a per-thread basis, i.e., one thread goes to CPU0 and the next thread goes to CPU1. You cannot execute a single thread across multiple CPUs.
