Diplay Progress Of Slow Macro
Jan 14, 2008
I'm running some macros that take a bit of time (1000-2000ms), and would like to give the user some feedback as to what's happening.... Ideally, I'd like to show a msgbox-like pop-up window saying something "processing..." while the macro executes.
I have tried using userforms (based on this post Excel VBA Macro- How to Create a Splash Screen for your Excel Workbook); however they halt background execution...
Is there any built-in functionality similar to .statusbar, but more obvious/visual that would allow this? I'm about to experiment with showing/hiding a textbox shape, but this seems a bit sloppy...

I am using time based on the 1904 calendar, this is so time can be shown as a minus figure when to cells are taken away and the result is say -17:25. What I want to do via conditional formatting is show any minus hours as red. Tried various options but I have had no luck so far. or can this be done via VBA?

I have a macro that is taking a long time, so long that I think something is wrong but I dont really have a great way to check. I want to put up a little window showing the progress either by saying "i'm on row XX" or having a progress bar.
Looks like msgbox requires action before the code continues so it is not a good thing to use if you want to get progress. My formula looks for bad values in a data file and fixed them. It takes forever. I would like to have a box there that simply tells me what row it is working on.
Clearly I dont want to hit the OK button for it to continue processing. I want it to update the message box on its own and then take away the message box when it is finished processing.

I'm using a mostly recorded macro to do some rather lengthy formatting in a workbook. The formatting is lengthy enough that I don't want people to think the PC is hung. So I'd like to use the progress bar. I'm trying to trim the code down to just the bare essentials for running the progress bar during the macro procedure (and so I can better understand what's happening in the code). The attachment shows what I've done so far. When I press the "Format Workbook" button then I have to press another button ("Run Progress Meter") to really launch the progress bar.

I have a macro that takes about a minute to run. I would like to add a progress bar to appear once the macro starts running. There are no loops in the macro. What are my options?

I have a macro that runs when the file is opened and takes some time. I turn off the screen updating to speed the process. I want a msgbox, or something, to tell users that file is processing information that does not require a response to continue the code.

I'm running a simulation that utilizes the Data Table function. The table itself is quite large (280 elements in the row, 10K in the column). It currently takes about an hour to run. (Full disclosure: I did this instead of a couple of "for" loops because I have to consolidate/manipulate a bunch of data from several sheets and it seemed to be running slower than a data table). how to write a progress bar for this type of code? I.e. code that does not loop and is just time-consuming?

I was looking at a previous post to get a progress bar to work while running
a lengthy macro. Below is the post on how to incorporate the progress bar
into your code.
That works fine expect for one thing. There is a cancel button on the progress bar, and when it is pushed the rest of my code continues running. How do I end my code if I press cancel on the progress bar?
Sub Main
Dim PB as clsProgBar
Set PB = new clsProgBar
'if your subs are being called from a userform, hide the form first using
Me.Hide
With PB
.title = "some title"
.caption1 = "Executing, this may take a while"
.caption2 = "Doing task 1"
.show
doevents...................................................

As i have a pretty "complex" macro, which takes around 20-30 minutes to do (honestly)....
I was wondering if there was a way to create a progress bar just showing me how many % it has done so for?
Or even tell me which sub routine it is up to? (but % would probably be better)
And preferably a pop-up box one?.. not one on the status bar because i have stuff updated on the status bar already...

I have been looking for a macro (and have failed to find one) that would give a progress bar in status bar as a percent of the macro run time, e.g
If I had a macro that took say 5 minutes (which I would know in advance) to run is there a way to have a progress bar in status bar that would progress incrementally as a percentage of the 5 minutes or even simpler break the 5 minutes into 1 minute increments?

I have a program that screen scrapes data fom a mainframe emulation program. There are many loops used in order to slow the program down checking for things to load before taking the information. I would like to build some kind of display showing the user what the program is doing and allow them to stop the program if they like. Right now while the program is running everything is frozen and unresponsive.

Below is the entire code that I am using. It is a simple routine which checks whether a part has started its release process or not, based upon dates. The code works and does what I want.
The problem that I have is that it is very slow, for example it takes 35 seconds to go through 530 lines items. In my (limeted) experiance, based on other VBA doodlings this slow.

Need some alternative code that would speed the execution of this macro. My weak attempt runs noticeably SLOW.
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("TPD")
If IsNumeric(cell) And Not IsEmpty(cell) Then
If cell.Value > 0 Then
cell.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Else
cell.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
End If
On Error Goto 0
Next
End Sub

I programmed a simple macro (attached to a button) that scan the lines in the sheet and uses the function: Cells(y,2).EntireRow.Hide=TRUE (in order to hide certain lines). Usually, It runs fast without problem. But when I print out an area of the sheet, it cause the macro to slow down substantially. (when it runs again). In order to fix that , I had to close the file and reopen it again ( and not print out)

i am currently using the following code to copy records from one sheet to new sheets that that are created and named in the first part of the if(). this works fine, however when i am dealing with 50,000 records it still takes 5-10min to get them all sorted. I think this although functional is horribly inefficiant, and am wondering how i might be able to speed up the process. possibly rather than check each record, then copy then paste individually to sort them, then read and select the list of cells until value changes, then copy over at once. i dont know if this would be faster or not, let me know what you think.
Sub autorec ()
Dim wSheet
Dim newSheetName As Variant Dim FNAC As Double
Dim OU As Double
Dim DS As Double
Dim CCY As String

This is designed to be run on bid proposals, to calculate special discounts. My idea was that whoever was designing the bid would open this file, which has the discount information and the macro, and then run the macro on the file containing the bid.
This macro works. It worked really fast when it was in my personal.xls and referenced an .xlsx file for the vlookup. It was slower, but still tolerable, when I moved it to the .xlsm file and it still refenced the .xlsx file (an oversight on my part). Now that I fixed the vlookup reference to the .xlsm file, the same one that the macro itself is in, it has slowed to a crawl. What is going on?

I have written some very basic code to format a report in excel. When I run the code it take a very long time to execute and I receive the following error message at the foot of the page:
Cell (press esc to cancel)
Annoyingly I have had this error before and found the solution on the web but can't remember where. If memory serves my right I deleted some temp files from a specific location on my hard drive?

I'm working on a macro which compares values in particular cells across different versions of a sheet. Unfortunately there are quite a lot of values, and my code is running very slowly.
I'm trying to get the data in a grid, with the file version across the top, and down the left the project name. For each file version I need to look up a specific value for every project listed.
At the moment, my macro is creating a seperate formula for each cell which does a vlookup on the project name to the specific external file.
The relevant bit of code is below
At the moment its runnig to slow by several orders of magnitude, Working on a 4 by 10 grid it takes about a minute, and I'm going to need it to be able to handle a 50 by 800 grid.
While the code is running, the CPU is not maxed out, so I'm assuming that its the calls to the file system which are taking all the time.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ccount As Integer
Dim rcount As Integer
Dim sFilename As String
Dim sPath As String
With ActiveSheet
For ccount = 1 To Range("c1").End(xlToRight).Column - 2
sPath = Left(FileNamesList(ccount), InStr(FileNamesList(ccount), "Pipeline ~") - 1)
sFilename = Right(FileNamesList(ccount), Len(FileNamesList(ccount)) - InStr(FileNamesList(ccount), "Pipeline ~") + 1)
For rcount = 1 To Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row - 2
by SDB.xls]Pipeline'!$A$1:$AO$300,3,0)
Cells(rcount + 2, ccount + 2) = "=VLOOKUP(""" & Cells(rcount + 2, 1) & """,'" & sPath & "[" & sFilename & "]Pipeline'!$A$1:$AO$300,3,0)"
Next rcount
Next ccount
End With

my existing macro, as the run takes to much time to complete. (at least 20min) I've already tried several loops, but no one worked for me. Following situation: There are two excel files, entries in column 73 - 85 will be copied from WorkbookRust to the other workbook if the numer in column 5 is the same. Not every cell within this columns contains data, so the macro should automatically jump to the last entry in each of the above mentioned columns, instead of predefine the range as you see in the code below. After the data is copied to the other workbook, it will be filtered acc. to Sub FilterMain and then copied back to WorkbookRust. As already said, the whole thing works, just to lame.
Sub Allmacros()
Dim WorkbookRust As String
WorkbookRust = ActiveWorkbook.Name
ChDir "C:Documents and Settings vogtMy DocumentsRüstplausch"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:Documents and Settings vogtMy DocumentsRüstplauschCH_Revenue_2008.xls"
Sheets("Main_Overview").Select
Windows(WorkbookRust).Activate
Application.run ActiveWorkbook.Name & "!UpdateEntries"
Application.run ActiveWorkbook.Name & "!FilterMain"
'not ask to overwrite existing file
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks("CH_Revenue_2008.xls").Save
Workbooks("CH_Revenue_2008.xls").Close
End Sub
Sub UpdateEntries()......................
