Macros VERY Slow After Setting The PrintArea

Jul 3, 2008

i have the following problem: as a Workbook_BeforePrint statement i wrote a macro in which i recalculate the print area of 2 tables in Sheet1 and Sheet2. The table autogenerates new lines through another macro and therefore i need to set the area because i cannot know from the start how big will be the table (how many lines it will have). I know only how many columns it will have (from cell B2 (or Sheet1.Cells(2,2)) to column 13, on Sheet1 and 5 on Sheet2).

As i said, before Print (or PrintPreview) excel triggers this Workbook_BeforePrint macro. In this macro i count the lines on a column which is the Current Nr. column, until cell is empty (=""). The macro works perfect. Here is the macro:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
setprint
End Sub

Sub setprint() .....

Macros Really Slow The Another Macros Is Run

Dec 14, 2009

I have two macros. Macros 1 opens another excel file, counts the number of rows it has, inserts that number of rows into the master file and then copies the data over. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)...
For k = 1 To numrows
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
Next k

Macros 2 'cleans' the appended data by systematically going through each row, checking if certain cells have data, and if not deletes the rows. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)...

For l = lastrow To 12 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("B" & l & ":C" & l)) = 0 Then
Rows(l & ":" & l).Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
edelrows = edelrows + 1
End If
Next l

Here's the weirdness. macros 1 runs fairly quick the first time out (few seconds). Macros 2 takes about 2 minutes to run (which I'm fine with). However, when I run macros 1 AFTER running Macros 2, Macros 1 goes from taking a few seconds to a few minutes.

Excel 2010 :: Legacy Macros Running Slow?

May 26, 2011

I have inherited support for a suite of Excel 2003 spreadsheets with complicated macros which run fine on XP. Having been tasked to test them on Windows 7 with Office 2010, I have not converted them as they are run by several sites globally who may not upgrade to Office 2010 at the same time. Hence they run in compatibility mode which in general is fine.

However, certain macros are veeeery slow and to the user would look like the app has hung. In debug I have found that the macro takes 10 minutes plus whenever it hits any of the following code:

Code:
With Application
.Calculation = xlAutomatic
.MaxChange = 0.001
End With

ActiveWorkBook.PrecisionAsDisplayed = False
It goes slow on each of the three 'lines' so it seems that it is actually doing an auto calc each time!

Is there some configuration I can do to prevent this? Setting auto calc to Manual didn't work and anyway I loose things, like data validation, when I save it in Excel 2010.

May 20, 2006

I have created a macro that is copying data from a workbook, creating a new workbook, and pasting the copied data into it. How can i set the PrintArea in the new workbook to include only the non-blank cells? In other words, i want the print range set to be "$a$1" through the cell shared by the first empty row and first empty column.

Encourage Enabling Of Macros: Disable Macros When Opening Then The Worksheet Menu Bar And Other Command Bars Are Still Available

Aug 26, 2009

I have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.

Enable/Disable Macros When No Macros Are Present

Jul 28, 2008

I have a user that keeps a maintenance log in an Excel worksheet and sends an updated copy once a week to a board member. Two weeks ago, the board member started complaining that he was prompted to enable/disable macros on opening and became worried when my user stated that no macros were used in the book. He is now concerned that we have sent him a virus.

I know the file is clean because I've scanned it, and when I look at the file in VB, there are no modules or classes present just the Sheets 1-3 and the ThisWorkbook file. None of these objects have any code in them. My user does have some macros in PERSONAL.XLS but they are not used in the workbook in question.

No one else gets the prompt for enabling/disabling macros. Even if I set my security to prompt for any macros, I get no message. I'm convinced that there must be some setting in his Excel that is causing this individual to get this message. Is there anything else other than a macro that would cause this?

Hiding Macros From The Run Macros List

Jul 14, 2008

Is there a way to hide a macro from the list where you choose which to run, but not in the VBA editor? The userbox I just created calls upon 2 different macros, and has a macro to bring up the userbox. I need a way to hide the macros in Module3 from selection, but keep the macros in Module4 available to choose to run.

Workbook Slow Down

Mar 30, 2009

I have a workbook made up of worksheets containing source data, pivot tables and charts but it is now becoming very slow since I have added a worksheet with many formulas.

If I move that worksheet containing many formulas (20 columns by 150 rows) to a different workbook will that help speed both of them up? The formulas will obviously still by referring to the original workbook.

Or is it simply by using formulas it slows things down whatever you do and I will have to think of a clever way of using pivot tables instead? Are there any other things that could be slowing it down? Other workbooks I maintain are fine.

Slow Calculation

Dec 5, 2009

I got a work sheet with 672 columns of information that im trying to cross compare against. I wanna compare each column against every other column in that row. I have 200 rows of data. That means each i need excel to do 226,128 comparion calculations each row. So that means in the entire work sheet its gotta do 91 million comparisons. Im on a dual core 1.8ghz core 2 duo cpu and 2 gigs of ram on xp pro with excel 2007. I even bumped up my virtual memory by 3 times the size it was yet still its taking forever.

Its taking over 3 hours to do this whole page of calculations. So i opened up visual c++ and quickly programmed in the same code with some generic values and within 3 seconds it computed it all. My guess is that the bottle neck is when excel has retrieve data from the cells because other than that i cant figure out why its so slow. Heres a section of my

Slow Spreadsheet

Nov 14, 2006

My spreadsheet is chugging through the following code. The data being filtered is rows A:AC, rows 10:193 (so not an absurdly large amount of data). It takes about 15 seconds to complete the filter. Ideas?

Private Sub EuropeButton_Click()
HeaderRegion = "Europe"
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
Range("A2:A8").Value = 0
Range("A2").Value = "TEG"
Range("A3").Value = "TUK"
Range("A4").Value = "TEF"
Range("A10").CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:= _
Range("A1:A4"), Unique:=False
If Columns("E:F").Hidden = True Then
Columns("E:F").Hidden = False
End If

Slow Calculations

Mar 19, 2007

I'm working working with this spreadsheet that is moving incredibly slow. Every time I enter anything, it takes anywhere from 10 seconds, to a couple minutes to calculate and let me proceed. It is a pretty big file (4.60 MB), but I also work with another spreadsheet that is a little smaller (2.95 MB) that has never taken more than a fraction of a second to calculate anything. What could I do to spead up the spreadsheet?

Slow VBA Module

Sep 24, 2009

This module consists of app. 25 sub routines. Every sub routine is a For-Next Loop, with 70 For-Nexts to work through. The loops check certain input cells and if these cells are empty, the row is hidden. I have the reverse also where I can unhide these rows.

When I had about 8 of these loops in this module, it would work quite fast and it took about a second to run one of these subs. Now that I have 25 if I run one of these subs it takes about 20-30 seconds.

Before I break them all down into individual modules just to find out it doesn't work, is there anything else I should be doing or could try to speed these subs up? If breaking them down into more than one module is the solution, how do I do this best?

Vba Running Slow

Aug 27, 2007

I have a workbook with macros Ive created that have been running just fine for 2 years now. Ive upgraded to a top of the line new Dell D830 dual core laptop with 2gb ram and installed excel 2003 (same excel as always). Certain macros that used to take a second or two to run on a celeron dell now take 3min's! Ive stepped through the code in debug mode and found that its hanging up in simple areas like "Columns("A:A").Select" and "Selection.ClearContents". We have 16 older laptops running these exact codes just fine all day long and the 2 new fast computers with core 2 duo processors are hanging up constantly in the same places in code. Ive gone through and made sure all the "option" settings are identical in excel. Is there some system setting That I'm missing or possibly an excel setting That I may have overlooked?

Workbook Slow To Open

Jul 8, 2009

I have searched the forums re my issue and have not found a relevant solution. I have a large workbook 19MB in Excel 2007. There are 400 sheets and each sheet contains various formulas and one macro. The only graphics on each sheet are color coding of some cells. The workbook takes 2minutes 55 secs to load. Once open there are no issues. Is there a reason why this is so slow or do I just have to accept that being a large file it will take this long. There is no issue with HD space or RAM as the laptop is only used specifically for this workbook. Running Intel Core 2 Duo, 160 HDD, 2mb ram.

Slow Reaction On Cell Changes

Aug 24, 2009

I have a relatively complex application with a few thousand cell links and dozens of VBA macros (3.5 MB heavy). This application (one file for each project) is used by a few hundred users in about 200 projects.
What I did recently (to allow updating macro program functionality in existing files) is to move all macros into an add-in.

What happens now is every time when I change the content of any cell anywhere in the file, it takes about 3 seconds(!) to leave the cell after changing it and to jump into the one below.
Of course I'm getting complaints from users about this slow behaviour.

This also applies to cells in sheets that have no event macro program related to them.
It applies as well to cells that are not referenced in any other cell.
I tried changing the calculation method from automatic to manual - no change in speed.
I de-activated the add-in - no change in speed.
I have checked if there are any formulas that contain the today() or function or the like - there are none (actually, I had replaced them with links to a cell that contains today's date, which is automatically updated when the file is opened, but this was also this way in the previous version).

It seems that there is something going on that causes Excel to be busy with itself.

Does anyone know what might cause this strange behaviour?
I tried everything I could think of without success and I'm lost now.

We are using Excel 2003 in an XP Professional SP2 environment and most of our computers have 512 MB RAM.

Very Slow To Load Files

Dec 17, 2009

i had a file with 10,500 lines, 18,000 kb and it seemed slow to load (about a minute) every time i made changes and then saved it or reopened it.

so i broke the file up into 3 smaller files by cutting and pasting. i deleted all empty lines and columns beyond the file content. i defragged my compter. i cleared all excess format in job history - but -

one file now has 3,900 lines, 22,300 kb and takes 4 minutes to load.

one file now has 2,000 lines, 20,100 kb and takes 4 minutes to load.

one file now has 4,900 lines, 14,500 kb and takes 1 minute to load.

FileCopy Extremely Slow

Nov 6, 2008

I am trying to make a macro that copies a file per row to a folder specified by a cell in the row (and then calls a command line tool on it). I am using FileCopy to copy the file, but it is extremely slow even for only 6 rows (I need it to work with hundreds).

I think the problem is that the folders are network folders. Is there maybe another copy file function in VBA that does not block while the operation completes? I could go through all my rows and just copy the files, then go through again and run the command line tool. By the time it reaches the end of the sheet, the first file would be done copying.
