Delay Calculation Of Worksheet Functions
Nov 9, 2006I have a workbook that has many simple functions moving data around to different sheets and processing some if statements on some of the data. The problem that I am running into is all of the data is initially pulled in from a SQL DB, and I believe that the workbook is calculating many of it's if statements, prior to all of the SQL data being loaded, therefore, many of the worksheet formulas are coming up with the wrong result. Is there a way to delay the calculation of all the basic worksheet functions, so that I can ensure that all the data is in the workbook from SQL, before they all fire. I have attempted to use Tools--Options--Calculation--Manual Calculation, but it appears that even though I have things set that way, all of the formulas in the workbook have already pulled their values through.
View 2 Replies View RelatedStringConcat (Chip Pearson) Calculation Delay
Oct 20, 2009I have used Chip's StringConcat code [url]
When I first entered the function code as a formula on the worksheet, the result was instant and correct.
However, if I change the contents of one of the cells in the stringconcat range, the result does not change.
I need to edit (eg F2 then enter) either the cell with the text or the cell with the formula for the result to update.
If I highlight the column where the formula is used and Find / Replace to change "=" for "=", they all update at once (tip I learn't here)
Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas why it may happen?
Notes:
I am using Excel 2000 (work)
I have 6 cols of info (I to N),
These 6 columns contain formulae that basically copies plain text from the same row in Cols A to F. (Since not all the left hand side cells are full, the formula copies down the value above if the cell isblank, or copies the cell value if there istext)
Formula is in Cell G2 and reads
=stringconcat("; ",TRUE,I2:N2)
Code is stored in the Module1
I have 1 header row (Row 1)
I have 16 rows of text (Rows 2 to 17)
Not all rows have text in all 6 columns, but the are no blank cells betweeen data working left to right

Delay Macro (Put In A Statement Within A Macro That Populates Cells With The Values)
Jan 11, 2010Put in a statement within a Macro that populates cells with the values that I want it to but instead of populating all at the same time, is it possible for the values to be delayed.
I have designed a mock spreadsheet (attached) it has two columns 'Before' and 'After'
After = Before values (in this mock)
When you press the button, the values are populated straight into the 'After column' can we add the delay between the values? So that the values dont come up straight away.
Put Delay In Macro
Sep 26, 2008I'm downloading data from a database that takes sometimes up to a minute to download the data. However I have a sum function in the macro that calls the cells that the downloaded data will be in. The problem is the sum function is occuring before the data is downloaded so the sum is always 0. Any way to build in a delay timer?
Add Time Delay Between Macro Steps
Jan 15, 2009Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.1"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.2"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.3"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.4"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.5"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.6"
etc . . .
Basically, I just recorded a macro to change the cell value. This code continues to 4.8 . . .Is there a more efficient way to code this??
Also, I'd like to add a time delay (say +-5seconds) between each step. So basically it would say:
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.1"
[CODE THAT DELAYS FOR A TIME, THEN GOES TO THE STEP BELOW]
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.2"
[CODE THAT DELAYS FOR A TIME, THEN GOES TO THE STEP BELOW]
Time Delay When Executing Macro In VBA

Delay Parts Of A Macro From Running
Oct 13, 2006I have created a macro that goes to a report application. The report application runs a script that extracts certain parts of various reports (the script asks for user input to pull the various reports) and exports the data to a spreadsheet. The script gets one report, writes the data to a spreadsheet, gets the next report, appends the data to the spreadsheet, etc. The macro then moves and formats the data in a customized way to be put to second spreadsheet. My problem is that the macro tries to format the data before the script has completed - how can I stop the macro from running until the script has finished? The script varies in run time - anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes.

Worksheet Change Causes Three Second Delay
May 23, 2007I don't know any way ask this question without attaching an example. But the problem itself is pretty easy to explain. On the attached worksheet, whenever anyone makes a change to the information in column C (labeled as Act. Chicks) this triggers a worksheet change that makes that cell have a red font. It also triggers a routine (in a standard module) that updates textboxes that continually display a running total.
Here is the problem: After the information is entered, and the routines have finished executing, there is an incredibly annoying delay of about three seconds. That is, it takes three seconds before you can even select a different cell. This is very difficult for the user to deal with, especially when she has a great deal of information that she would like to enter very quickly. What is strange to me is that if I run the routine for the Worksheet Change within the VBE, I get the delay after the last line of the code (in the standard module) has been executed. In other words, I can't see any code that is running during this long "pause." What is the computer doing during this time, and what can I do to fix it?

Delay In Switching Between Workbook Windows
Oct 22, 2009Workbook Name Changes – But Workbook Does Not For Five Seconds?? MS Office Excel 2003 / SP3 Installed. I have noticed an odd occurrence from time to time while switching between workbooks. When I switch from one workbook to another, (typically via the “Window” pull down – but the same result happens when switching workbooks on the tabs at the bottom of the screen), the “switched to” workbook name will instantly appear at the top of the application, but the actual switch to the selected workbook is delayed for several seconds, (five seconds or so).
While not a major issue, it is annoying. I suspect that it is a memory allocation issue, (I have a Duo CPU System / XP Pro / 2 GB RAM), and with that in mind I have both restated MS Excel and also performed a complete re-boot. While either option does (seem) to result in the issue being (temporally) removed from my machine, it does return. I may go for several days without this issue occurring, and then it appears for no known reason

Percentage Calculation Using VBA Macro
Jun 11, 2013In the Excel sheet i have 2 tabs
1st tab name :Percentage
2nd tab name :Defects.
Need VBA Code for the below scenario :
In the Defects sheet it should perform the autofilter by selecting the Criteria as Severity as Critical and Status as Closed and finally it should take the count of visible cells and it should populate value in the sheet1 (Percentage sheet) in the Critical defects closed field .
Again it should perform the autofilter by selecting the criteria as severity as Critical and status should (New,open ,reopen,retest ,pending closure)and finallu it should take the count of visible cells and it should populate value in the percentage sheet in the Unresolved defects field.
Now percentage calculation should be performed between the Critical Defects closed and Unresolved Defects.
Here is the formula= Critical defects closedUnresolved Defects * 100.
How to perform this Scenario through VBA Macros.
Please find the attached sheet : sample.xls

View 9 Replies View RelatedExcel 2011 :: Looking For PV Formula That Accommodates Delay Period
Aug 2, 2014My software is Excel for Mac 2011 version 14.4.3 (140616).
I am using the present value formula =PV(rate, nper, pmt, [fv], [type]), with the pmt expressed as a negative number, to determine the present value of a lump sum that would generate specific, equal, regular annual payments, exhausting itself in the process. I fill it in this way: rate is an annual rate, nper is the number of years the payments run, pmt is the annual amount paid each year, fv =0, type =1
I would like to be able to have a similar formula in Excel that would do the same thing except that it would take into account a time period where no payment is made, ie a "delay".
For example using the PV formula I know that if I have $49,019.96 invested at 1%, it will generate $10,000 per year for 5 years, leaving a net investment of 0. I would like to know the formula that would tell me how much I would need to invest at 1% to yield $10,000 per year for 5 years, again exhausting itself completely in the process, with the first $10,000 payment starting 3 years from now. I know it would be less because I would have the full amount earning interest for 3 years at 1% before any payments need to be made.

View 9 Replies View RelatedVBA Macro For Time Calculation / Conversion?
May 6, 2014I am struggling with the calculation of time in excel and cannot find a reliable solution for it using formulas. The reason is, excel does not display negative time values, unless one formats the results as text. This is no good, as I need to add up those results and that's something excel cannot do with values formatted as text.
Therefore I am aiming to do just that by using a macro. The values in columns I & J should simply be converted and pasted into columns U and V respectively (see attachment). For example 200 minutes should appear as 03:20 [hh:mm]. Accordingly, -200 minutes = -03:20 [hh:mm]

Adding Rows And Calculation To Macro
Nov 3, 2008I am extending rows on a salary schedule. As you can see below, the rows include: Bargaining Unit (GP) Schedule(2A) Range(5) Step (A) Hourly (S) and the hourly wage(11.52)
GP,2A,5,A,H,11.52
GP,2A,5,B,H,11.82
GP,2A,5,C,H,12.17
GP,2A,5,D,H,12.5
GP,2A,5,E,H,12.88
GP,2A,5,F,H,13.22
GP,2A,5,G,H,13.61
GP,2A,5,J,H,14.18
GP,2A,5,K,H,14.71
GP,2A,5,L,H,15.26
GP,2A,5,M,H,15.83
The Steps currently go from A thru M but I need to add N thru Z and after step M there is a 3.75% increase for each step.
You can see that this is a csv file (comma delimited). All of the other info needs to autofill and only the new steps (N-Z) will change and the wage for each of the new steps. The last row is 2 decimal points.
