Inserting/Deleting Rows - Speed
Apr 20, 2006
I have been playing with some code and was trying an alternate way. My first approach was matching numbers, inserting rows when needed and then deleting rows when needed. I wasn't satisified with this approach because...Well to be honest, I figured it out on my own and I don't think I'm confident enough in my coding skills yet.
Someone suggested that instead of inserting rows, copy the data below the existing data, sort and then do the rest. I did this, but by doing this it gives me over 1, 000 rows of data to loop through and delete duplicates. Yes, my code was shortened and seemed less complex, but it actually took longer with the new approach.
Inserting Rows = 4.6 seconds
Sorting then deleting dupes = 7 seconds
Does deleting multiple rows of data take more time then inserting rows?

Is there a way for a macro to be not active when trying to insert a row or a way to have the macro understand that it's just a row shift? I'm trying to have a time stamp that anyone changes the value in a column. The following code generates an error 1004: application or object defined error when I insert or delete a row.

I can insert lines fine, but the problem is that now I want the worksheet to be able to delete rows without inputting time stamps. It can insert them with no problems. I have attached the file on as well.

Whenever you insert / delete row or cut cells out in Mon/Tue sheets it's causing issues in the table in the Weekly view tab.
Is there any way to prevent it? I don't mind redoing whole spreadsheet, it was done ages ago in a very fast manner.
I gave you an idea by deleting a row range in Mon tab which causes #REF error.

I am dealing with data sets from various instruments that have different sample rates. I am deleting data points I don't need from some of the sets with higher sample rates so that all the data is on the same time scale.
The macro I have is super simple, but incredibly slow. I'm simply deleting every other cell down a column.
VB:
Sub OATcondense()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Do While ActiveCell <> ""
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Delete Shift:=xlUp
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I want a script that inserts a picture based upon criteria of another cell. So for instance if cell A1 = Mad then insert Mad.jpg else insert Happy.Jpg
I can get the picture inserted properly based upon the cell however the picture does not delete when I click the sub button again. I cannot make it delete Mad.jpg from it's location and replace it with Happy.jpg if the criteria in A1 says "Happy".
VB:
Sub Picture()
Dim myPict As Picture
Dim myPicts As Integer

I've written a macro for a set of tests I've created. It says "If the old value of the cell is '-' and the user enters 'Pass,' 'Fail,' or '-' then insert something into the cell directly to the right of the modified cell."
However, I'm receiving a Type Mismatch error any time I insert or delete a row. I think this is because of how I'm getting the previous value of a cell. The conditional is saying "I don't have a solution if there was no previous value of the cell."
Code:
Dim old_value
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
prev = old_value
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("E1:E65000")) Is Nothing Then
If prev = "" Or prev = 0 Then
'Do Nothing!

I'm building a bookkeeping workbook that is only currently 800kb with TWO cells that have data validation and no cells have conditional formatting. There are a fair few formulae but they are all simply SUM, SUMIF and CONCATENATE.

lets say i have 200 used columns. if i delete 150 of them and then (without saving the file) try to add 100 more i get an excel has reached its limit error. theoretically 200-150+100 = 150 columns, which should be well within the 258 column limit. but excel still gives me the error )its like its calculating 200+100=300 > 258). HOWEVER, if i save the file after deleting, i dont get any errors at all. is this a "feature" of excel and if so is there anyway of circumventing it? because i dont want to save the file prior to adding the columns (i do the whole thing in vba). actually i dont want to save the file at all unless the user click on the save button or choose save/save as from the menu.

I have a very complex report with a variable numbers of rows in multiple sections. I am evaluating whether to display each row with a formula in the first column (those that I don't want to display have a "H" in the first column).
The following code works fine, but it takes forever. Ideally I wanted to trigger the code on the Worksheet_Activate() event but its so inefficient that I can't do that.
VB:
On Error Goto Errorhandling
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Calculation = xlManual
Application.StatusBar = "Processing..."

I am trying to parse and remove unwanted rows from a very large text file using At the moment, the application runs rather slow and was wondering if the experts could give some pointers on how to make the code more efficient while still keeping it simple so others may be able to modify later. I am keeping the ScreenUpdating True as the alternative false will just show Excel as Not Responding to the user until the VB is finished.
Sub deleteReplaceRows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Dim DeletedRows As Integer
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim Arr(7)
Arr(1) = "<PUZZLE>"
Arr(2) = "<%"
Arr(3) = "%>"
Arr(4) = "Response."
Arr(5) = "</PUZZLE>"
Arr(6) = "<HINT>"
Arr(7) = "<MESSAGE>"
For i = 1 To 7
Do
Set rng = Columns(1).Find(Arr(i))
If rng Is Nothing Then Exit Do
rng.EntireRow.Delete
DeletedRows = DeletedRows + 1...................

I have a VBA Macro that loops through about 100,000 rows in an Excel file and removes rows that have a duplicate cell value. The macro takes about an hour and a half to run. Are there any ways to make the Macro run faster? Any ways in general to make VBA macros run faster?

I have cells (all in one column) containing text separated by commas e.g. (SD-299, SD-200, SD-300)
I am trying to transpose the text in these cells into rows.
VB:
Sub SplitAndTranspose()
Dim N() As String
N = Split(ActiveCell, ", ")
ActiveCell.Resize(UBound(N) + 1) = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(N)
End Sub
The problem with that is that when transposing it does not shift the cells down (/ insert new rows) so I lose the data already in the cells underneath.
Also, that macro would only apply to one cell I would like to be able to apply it all the data in the specific column on my Sheet.

I have a macro which is copying data from several worksheets into one consolidation worksheet. When determining where to paste the data into the consolidation sheet, the macro includes some logic to find the last row that has data in it (using e.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row, where "e" is a variable holding the name of the consolidation worksheet).
Once all the data is on the consolidation worksheet, I have a second worksheet with formulas that link to the consolidation sheet. The issue I have is that the first step of my consolidation macro deletes all data on the consolidation sheet to ensure that no data is double-counted). I am deleting the data with logic that simply deletes all rows from 3 to 65536. Once these rows are deleted, Excel returns a #REF! error on my second worksheet which is linking back to this data.
Rather than deleting the rows on the consolidation sheet, I have tried using the Clear and/or ClearContents commands instead. This works (i.e., my formulas no longer error out), but results in the consolidation macro running very slowly (~15 minutes, compared to

I'm not great anyways with VBA Macro.Effectively, here is my issue. I have a spreadsheet which is really badly designed.In one column I have multiple numbers separated by a comma. I need this data separated into new individual rows, but at the same time, copying the data in the other columns in that row to the new row.
Example of what I have:
Test 1 54 email1
Test 2 32, 343, 63, 34 email2
Test 3 4934, 5342 email 3
What I need:
Test 1 54 email1
Test 2 32 email2
Test 2 343 email2
Test 2 63 email2
Test 2 34 email2
Test 3 4934 email3
Test 3 5342 email3
I have have the following code below which paste everything into a new column and into a new row, but the problem I have is that it does not push the other rows data down, nor does it copy the 1st rows data (for that data set) into the new rows created.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Dim fromCol As String
Dim toCol As String
Dim fromRow As String
Dim toRow As String
Dim inVal As String
Dim outVal As String
[Code] ........
The amount of rows I have, so this manually (text to column, then transcoding etc) it out of the questions (i have 1000 rows of this!)

The first code hides everything just fine based on the date in A1. When I change it to the second code to delete instead of hide it is leaving a bunch of rows that the 1st code hides. Both codes have the same search criteria.
Code:
For Each cell In Range("B8:B5000") If cell.Value Range("A1").Value Then cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Next cell
Code:
For Each cell In Range("B8:B5000") If cell.Value Range("A1").Value Then cell.EntireRow.Delete
Next cell

I have the following codes to delete all blank rows in column A
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = Sheet1.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
MsgBox lastrow
With Sheet1
For t = 1 To lastrow
If Cells(t, 1) = "" Then
Rows(t).Delete
End If
Next t
End With
End Sub
Although it is working , it is not deleting all the blank rows at once, I have to keep pressing on the macro button running the macro several times, until all blank rows are completely deleted.

I have a workbook with over 500 rows and those rows are divided in diferent sections, to which I have left five empty rows to add more data, the problem is, how do I add four more rows once I have only one empty row of the five empty ones I had previous? There's also a formula on column H that I'd like to be copied down on to the newly added rows.
I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the rest of the other data that is gonna shift down as more rows are added, I said this because I want to be able to do the same on all the sections I have.

i have a spread sheet that has a number of different addresses in them I need a vb code that will insert 5 rows between each row of data starting from row 42 and has the possiblity of running to the end of the rows 65536. i believe the best way to do it is via column B which will always have data in it. i have tried a number of methods but they all only insert the rows once or they do it the required ammount of times one after the other so i end up with a whole section of blank rows and all my data still together.

The idea i have is to use the above Numbers and the row itself and insert it in to the formated report (working from the bottom though). With this doen for each manual name change.
the number of Documents per manual can vary....
