I have a problem where I extended a formula down to over 40,000 records which has increased the file size substantially. I only need it to scroll down to a few thousand rows now that I realized that there is alot less data to populate the worksheet. Is there any way to get it back to a scroll range that is more modest in size?
I built a workbook that is used by our account team to summarize account status. Each worksheet has several cells that use conditional formatting to call attention to the status reported in that cell. Each manager sends their worksheets to a Senior manager who then consolidates into a single workbook containing approximately 50 worksheets. Once consolidated, the file size has grown to over 12 Mb and this needs to be reduced to a more manageable number, preferable 4 Mb or less. Prior to buliding the new version of this workbook, the file size was less than 2 Mb.
I have removed the Macros and believe the size is due to the conditional formatting in each worksheet.
Once the worksheets are compiled, is there a way to remove the conditional formatting and save the existing format - Similar to a "Paste Values" function? The senior manager does not need to change cell value to the formatting of the worksheet he receives could be saved.
To be specific - one cell turns has no color if the value is 10 or less, is yellow if 11 - 15, and Red if 16+. Once sent to the manager, the variance in this cell is not needed; he only needs to see the color associated with the value when sent. Next week he will receive an updated worksheet and a new value will be entered. The conditional formatting is only needed by the individual preparing the original worksheet.
I currently have an excel file with lots of formulas on quite a few pages and these are carried down for so many records - its sort of a template to generate information from/to certain sheets for many other purposes.
- is there any way to compress the file (without actually zipping it) as it must remain a working document?
My excel file has grown to 23Mb. It has around 10 worksheets and a similar number of userforms. Because the file is large, it slows down the VBA code when it encounters a save command. Is there any way I can improve this? Do userforms use alot of memory or is it the length of code? There are a few images on the userforms but the images are less than 1 Mb in total when all added together.
if there are any simple steps that can be taken to reduce the size of an Excel workbook short of deleting information. I have an Excel file which is taking to long to open and save. The file size is approx 5,450kb.
The file cotains Macros, Formulae, Named Ranges and Colour formatting.
I know that VBA doesn't always slim down workbook size and calculations are calculations whether in VBA or Formula format; but in this instance, do you think VBA would be a better choice? This workbook is currently enormous in size and slow, and I think I can slim it down if I used the right VBA procedures. However, Im not certain what those procedures would be.
On two seperate worksheets in a workbook, I have a column that contains a formula that references a third sheet.
Ok, here's the scenario: On the "Order" sheet, I have a list of orders from my company; on the "turn-In" sheet, a list of turn-ins. The "Bank" sheet lists ALL transactions (ORDER AND TURN-IN).
On both the turn-in and Order sheets, the formula is pretty much the same; it references a different column on the bank sheet, but does it the exact same way. Ok... The Order sheet lists all order from the company by order number (column A); the formula uses that order number and finds the transaction on the "Bank" sheet and returns the order cost as the result. however, the order numbers on the bank sheet have a 5 digit prefix on them (the prefix is the same on all orders, its used by the bank but only orders with my 5 digit prefix are on the list sent to me and pasted to this sheet. So all orders on bank sheet have the same prefix)
The below formula is in Cell C10 on "Order" Sheet; Column C lists the Cost reported by the bank. The formula below references the Bank sheet database, looks for an order number that matches the order number in A10 (Adding the prefix of course), and returns a cooresponding cost for that transaction.
I know this seems long for what it is, but it has to add the prefix, and then match the order number, and reference the cooresponding cost.
The kicker, this forumla is in more than 10,000 cells; 6,000 on the order sheet, and 5,000 on the turn-in sheet. Of course the references are a little different, but the principle is the same for all of them.
Is there a way to do this in VBA to save space and resources? This formula is really dragging.
how to reduce formula size/improve excel efficiency?
I have a really complicated formula with lots of COUNTAs, VLOOKUPs, IFs, etc etc etc which returns a variety of values, ZEROs (for blank cells being referenced), and #NAs.
I would like to turn all ZEROs and #NAs into ""s without repeating this super long formula over and over.
Have a file of 7 mb having 100 columns and unlimited rows (user defined- approx 500). At all these cells in that area, I refresh (copy/paste) the same formula for all cells, read as:
Refresh is necessary bcs I insert/delete/sort rows.
In order to reduce file size and instead of saving all these formulas into the approx 5000 cells, I would prefer if I could have a function in VBA and call it (with copy/paste) with a smaller formula at all these 5000 cells as: [= myfunction], so as to have this simple formula in each of 5000 cells, hoping that this will reduce size.
How can I write the long formula above to a function in VBA?
I've been having trouble recently with my workbook file size growing rapidly due to copy and paste commands and such. I found a very nice macro to reduce file size called ExcelDiet located at [url] Option Explicit
Sub ExcelDiet()
Dim j As Long Dim k As Long Dim LastRow As Long Dim LastCol As Long Dim ColFormula As Range Dim RowFormula As Range Dim ColValue As Range Dim RowValue As Range Dim Shp As Shape Dim ws As Worksheet
i have data in 1 worksheet say sheet1 which i copy to another sheet say sheet2. i do some processing like using some formulas on the data from columns A to D and getting an output in column E in the same sheet. Now the problem is, before i start the calculations in sheet2, the file size is 400 kB... and after the calculations are done, it becomes 20 mB... i dont know why this happens... there are some things which i think might be a reason but not very sure...
1. i calculate the last row in column A using lastrow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).row
i tried Range("A500") and it seemed fine... Now u may tell me that i can just use 500 and make things simpler but its just a workaround and not a solution...
2. i use macros.. this is just an info...
3. Another thing is, if i use 500, the number of active rows is 500... i dont know whether the right word is active rows but wat im trying to say is, the scroll bar for the rows movement reaches row 500 when it reaches the bottom.
I have data from 100 trials. Each trial has a variable number of data points (rows), but each row is labeled in the first column with the trial number. I would like a macro to identify the first row of each trial, calculate the difference of the value of the cell in column G of that row from a constant (718), and then add that difference to that cell and all other cells in that column of that trial.
So based on the attached sample, I would like all values in column G for trial 2 to be +1, for trial 3 to be -5, and for trial 4 to be +2.
In the file, I've cleared all the data from the impertinent columns. Eventually, I will also want to perform a similar process on column H but with a different constant.
I am a big fan of huge files (30MB+) all interlinked with array formulas ...and lots of them. The problem is...one calculation take literally 5 hours. (I have one file I try to calculate since cca 4 hours now...it's at 63%)
I keep getting extra memory with no visible improvement on the processing time. Is there a trick out there that I can use? Something is clearly wrong.
I feel I will soon have to give up Excel, or my formulas, or my job ...
The lookup should perform once to find the cell of interest. Subsequent value update should not trigger additional scans. Is this case? If not, how do I cut down the time on the look up?
I got a CD with pricing and (high resolution) pictures (for printing). I've built the search/display macros for displaying a page on the net, so all I want to do is reduce the pics (Adobe Photoshop) to save memory - easy, right? Why can't I get the pics out of excel for work in Photoshop? I've done the tools>options>General tab>ignore other applications (clear) thing. I've done the "shift>edit>copy picture" or "right-click>copy" thing - but I can't paste anything anywhere. What's up? I didn't think I was this bad, but I guess I am; life is humbling.
I have a column with numbers in about 500 rows. The entries are 5 numbers long and others 8. So I thought i could use one of the following: A macro code to tell a cell to delete the first 3 numbers if the entry is 8 numbers long?
OR
A macro code to tell a cell to reduce itself to 5 digits long starting from the right? Attached is a small example
When we sell things here at a 'sale' price there is always an argument as to who's department needs to give the discount off.
Each job we do has a labour time and an hourly labour rate.
Each part has a profit in it.
So if something is normally £100 but we are going so sell it for £80 we need tio split the £20 reduction evenly to both departments based on the GP each department has in the sale.
I have been building a spread sheet data base which I think is pretty simple.
It now has quite a few formula's and is taking time to calculate when I add data.
I have tried to simplify some formula's and get rid of complex one's that can be replaced with simple ones... Is there any advice or suggestions for reducing the calculating time..?
I have the following code in a User form and I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the number of lines that are highlighted, but obviously still get the required results!
Private Sub cbSearch_Click() Dim Product As Range Set Product = Sheets("Master").Range("A1:A300").Find(Val(tbLookFor), lookat:=xlWhole, LookIn:=xlValues) If Product Is Nothing Then MsgBox "Incorrect Product code, try again" Else 'Populate the userform with data tbData1 = Product.Offset(0, 1) 'Down 1 row, over 1 column tbData2 = Product.Offset(0, 2) tbData3 = Product.Offset(0, 3) tbData4 = Product.Offset(0, 4) tbData5 = Product.Offset(0, 6) tbData6 = Product.Offset(0, 7) tbData7 = Product.Offset(0, 8) tbData8 = Product.Offset(0, 9) tbData9 = Product.Offset(0, 10) tbData10 = Product.Offset(0, 11) tbData11 = Product.Offset(0, 12).....................
I need to take every 4th data point from an array of several hundred (col A) and place the reduced array in a new column (col B). I initially tried approaching this in VBA and then tried excel, but to keep it simple i won't show the code that didn't work.
Col A Col B 5.001 5.001 5.002 5.802 5.001 5.951 5.003 5.802 5.805 5.801 5.804 6.951 6.950 6.952 6.951
I have a cell with 200+ character, I only want the 40 first character is there a function that will give me only those 40 first character or do I have to use a "=len" and manually remove the extra characters?)
I'm researching a load of financial data downloaded for me from Bloomberg. It lists daily prices of 15 commodities for nearly 20 years in some cases! Its far too much data to get anything worthwhile out of, so I'd like to know if any of you guys have used or know what the VBA is to write a macro that will reduce all the data from daily to monthly. (ie. I want a macro that will allow me to quickly delete all data corresponding to dates which are NOT the end of the month).
