Excel "Go To Special" Crashes on Large File

Excel "Go To Special" Crashes on Large File

I'm trying to find all cells that have constants. I'm use excel 2010 and
the file has 206963 rows and 9 columns. They are all filled with constant
values. When I search for constants excel crashes.
Questions:
Anyone know of a workaround?
Is there a list of the limitations of these functions and when they should
not be used?
The following at the steps:
In home-> Find & Select --> Go to Special...
Select Constants.
Click OK.
Excel just hangs and eventually selects all the rows but crashes. I tried
this with the other "go to special" functions and the same thing happened
with large amounts of data.
