Slow Performance Entering Values On Spreadsheet
Jul 3, 2014
I have a home finance spreadsheet that I've been using for a few years and in the last couple of days it's ground to a halt. Whenever I enter a value in a cell and hit [ENTER] there is a long delay with the spinning wait icon (Windows 7) and the Excel window reports "Not responding". Eventually (3-4 minutes) the update occurs and everything is fine.
The workbook has 9 sheets on it but only one summary sheet references the others. The sheet I'm updating has about 2200 rows, 50 columns and the formulas are simple A+B-C types. Performance DOES NOT improve if I change recalculation to manual. The only VBA is some macros to perform tasks and they don't execute dynamically. Adding comments and changing formats responds immediately, it is only updating values that exhibits the problem.
I've tried replacing all formulas with their values (paste special/values) across the sheet but again this didn't work.

i use excel 2007, it s slow to open a file by double-clicking and entering from windows explorer, by googling i fould a fix by adding "%1" at the end of command in "Application used to perform action" (folder options/file types/xls/advance/open). however, to open files in the same instance, i have to keep "DDE message" with [open("%1")]. With both "%1", excel now opens twice.
How to fix it?

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
End Sub

I created this spreadsheet to assist with pricing for my towing company. I struggled with getting the dropdown lists and combo boxes to work, and I created and deleted many of them before I got it to work like I wanted, but I think I left a mess. It runs slow, showing a delay when I click on different radio buttons, and there is an exclamation point in the Excel icon in the file directory. Could someone take a look in the code structure and tell me if there are any opportunities to clean it up. RateCalcApp.xlsm

I have a blank workbook that I am just about ready to deploy, but it is very slow to calculate. I know I can manually calculate, but I would rather the workbook just be fast and calculate on its own. The workbook is blank now, but will be used all of 2010 and will ultimately end up being around 20,000 lines. So, I have built in the formulas and conditional formatting into the 20,000 lines now so I don’t have to continually add lines.
So, the questions are…
What part of the workbook is slowing it down?
Here is how the tabs breakdown:
NOTESJust text no formulas
DATA20,000 Rows
1 formula of conditional formatting (Covers entire 20,000 rows and all columns except A)
4 columns with formulas (2 using VLOOKUP, 1 using SUMIF, 1 simple addition)
REPORT2 pivot tables linking to DATA

I have quite a large workbook, which runs very, very slowly when I'm on a certain sheet.
Scrolling seems to lag, and there is a long delay between me clicking a cell and it becoming active.
The sheet contains a number of web queries, and a number of cells which refernce other cells, both in the same worksheet, and other worksheets.

Working in Windows 8 excel. I am copying data from a website and entering that data onto a spread sheet. There are certain websites where the data does not transfer on the first try. It sometimes takes up to trying 3 times before the data will download onto the spread sheet. Why is that? And is there anything I can do to get it to transfer on the first try?

I created a table where based in several competences anyone can evaluate performance and potential. My issue comes when based on that result (colum Y in "Perf&Pot" Sheet) I want to export that to a nine box matrix (Sheet 2 "grid" in the attached excel). As could be several people in the same box I wasn't able to com up with a formula that solves this.

I work in a fruit and veg business and they are using parchment and quill still, well it certainly feels that way. I have been asked by customers to provide an online order form which i will email to them and they can fill in and email back, i scanned an invoice and used OCR to upload it to excel and it has come out quite well.
Basically there are three columns of product lines and then directly to the right of each product is a column i have entitled Box & KG respectively, if the customer types a number into the box column i want it to automatically add 'Bx' to the end so this if they typed 5 in a cell in the box column it would look like this '5 Bx' (obviously without the quotes), and the same for the KG column but it would denote 5 KG instead, also i would want it to add in the space as well after the value.

I have two tabs BIN QTY and ORDERS. On the ORDERS tab Column A is the order number and is duplicated several times depending how many line items are on the order. The second key is Column H which is the part number which is unique per sales order. I'm trying to use these two values to look up or find the matches on the Bin Qty tab.
-The data in Column A (order tab) gets compared to Column B (BIN QTY tab)
-The second match is the Item no. Data Column H (order tab) to Column C in (BIN QTY tab).
-Once both values match it needs to pull the value from column G (BIN QTY tab) and enter it in column N (ORDERS tab).
My example is highlighted in blue with the result in green. I've tried several different index and match formulas with no luck. my Last was
=IFERROR(INDEX('BIN QTY'!$G$1:$G$7957,MATCH(ORDERS!$A1,'BIN QTY'!$B$1:$B$7957,0),
MATCH($H2,'BIN QTY'!$C$1:$C$7957,0)),0)
MY ORIGINAL SHEET IS MUCH LONGER

I have a VBA module in Access that extracts data and copies to an Excel spreadsheet. Every time I run the code additional data is extracted and displayed on a chart together with previous data. When I enter values to the series collection the first axis be it X or Y is entered correctly but the second axis produces error 1004 'unable to set XValues property of the series class' If I swap the lines of code around the error switches to 'Values' (y axis)
wchart.SeriesCollection(NoCurves).Values = wsheet.Cells(9, 3 + (3 * (NoCurves - 1)))
wchart.SeriesCollection(NoCurves).XValues = wsheet.Cells(8, 3 + (3 * (NoCurves - 1)))wsheet.Cells(a, b))
wchart.SeriesCollection(NoCurves).Name = wsheet.Range(Cells(6, 2 + (3 * (NoCurves - 1))), Cells(7, 2 + (3 * (NoCurves - 1))))

I tried to make use of the indirect function but don't think this is the right type of formula to be used.
Essentially in column A..i have linked cell references
e.g = D2767
However, for the whole of the column I'd like to change the refs to =$D$2767, ALL in column A in one go.
I know that if you place the cursor in one cell immediately after the = sign and press F4 it automatically adds $ SIGNS TO THE CELL, which I find useful for V-lookups, but I obviously cannot do it (fill it) all the way down the column i'm using excel v7.
In addition or related how would I write an IF formula to read eg.
= IF (cell ref begins with C, then link and add PRECEDING AND FOLLOWING $ signs to all refs)?

Dbod_BUDGET_TEMPLATE_NEW_test popup.xlsmHi,
I have created a budget template. In some instances, a discount is offered when more that x amount of products are ordered ( it varies,so I'll have to change the macro for each instance). I'd like to have a pop up box appear ( and dissapear again when pressing 'enter') that gives a notification like: a discount is applicable, select'
my cell with entered amount is "I54", and want a message if entered above 5
I tried the below and swapped places between sentence 1 and two as it doesn't seem to recognize subname, or sub start, or it just dissapears from my macro list ( although still a module): ( in the below order, it stated it expects the sub to end after sentence 1, if i remove sub popup () ( the title) ut just deletes the thing from my macro lsit,w hat is goign on!, and it just wont work)

I have a relatively small Excel workbook that is using numerous lookup and Match function combinations. I also have a number of dynamic ranges defined and a few UDFs.
Problem is I am encountering some fairly severe performance issues. Changing a single value on a sheet is taking ages.
I suspect it may be due to the workbook dynamic ranges recalculating. Is there a limit to the amount of dynamic ranges in a workbook? And when do they get recalculated? Could it be something to do with sequencing of the calculations?

I'm trying to write some code that is performing operations on large arrays, using a pair of For loops. In languages like C++ and Fortran, it makes a big difference to the performance of the code which way round you put these 2 For loops, due to the way that array data is stored in the computer memory. However, for VBA, I've no idea which way round this is. For an array, A(i,j), do I want
For i = 1 To N
For j = 1 To M
A(i,j) = Cells(j, i).Value
Next j
Next i

I am trying to work out a % score for a telephone operator. To explain further, I would monitor a call that an agent takes. The agent starts at 100%. There are 20 points to be scored and they are scored like this
1 - Yes
0 - No
left blank - n/a
B3 counts the number of entries in the column
B2 counts the number of 1's in the column
B28 = B2/B3
Seems to work fine until the agent makes a fail which would enter a 0 in the column. Somewhere I think I need to take account that there are 20 possible fails or passes?

I need formula to calculate a fee based on performance. For example I have 4 unique keys with the following performance:
KEYPerformance
2010,000
2120,000
2230,000
2340,000
I need to work out how I can formula drive a fee calculation based on performance which is subject to different ranges:
KEYMin FeeFee 1Fee 2Fee 3Fee 4
201000.10.20.30.4
211000.10.20.30.4
221000.10.20.30.4
231000.10.20.30.4
For example key 20 has a min fee chargeable of 100, however a fee is chargable based on performance as follows:
Fee Range 10-9999
Fee Range 210000-19999
Fee Range 320000-29999
Fee Range 430000-99999999
So key 20 gets charged 0.1% of amounts between 0&9,999, 0.2% of amounts between 10,000&19,999, 0.3% on amounts between 20,000& 29,999 and 0.4% on the rest.
How can this be combined into a lookup/range/low-high formula to extract the correct values????

Morning all. I'm trying to use VBA to generate autoshape arrows to track changes in values.
Something allong the lines of Column B (Jans data) C (Febs Data) E (autoshape arrow, green up, for improvement, or red downwards for a worsening).
The problem I'm having is postioning my autoshapes. The only way I can do it at present is to keep all columns and rows a standard width, and position using multiples of those.
Is there anyway to set the autoshape to the cell height and width, and position it within the boundries of the cell? This way I don't have to worry about rewiting my code every time I change a cell width?

I am encountering a situation wherein each line of VBA code is essentially compiled as I type on that line, instead of when I move to a different line. For example, if the code I entered is incorrect, the compiler waits about half a second and then turns it red. Also, if I enter a space, it deletes it immediately.

I have thousands of rows of data sorted chronologically in a flat list. What I'm looking to do is have a pivot table or formula which picks out the highest value for a given person. Sound simple?
Okay,
- column A: date
- column B: name
- column C: exercise weight
- column D: exercise rep's
- column E: exercise predicted max (essentially, weight x reps)
Now, I have a pivot table which picks out each persons highest "exercise predicted max" (right click on table, field settings, MAX) but I want to know the actual weight they've lifted and how many reps they've done with it.
So basically, I want a simple table which shows me the date, persons name, heaviest weight they've lifted and how many reps they did with it. I've used the CONCATENATE function to group the "exercise weight" and "exercise rep's" in to one cell but the pivot doesn't return any values (all cells in pivot = 0).

I have a list of employees who each have a performance rating (very top, consistent, etc). Each employee is also either above the midpoint of a salary range or below (which is represented by a separate column with 'Yes' for above and 'No' for below).
What I am trying to do is apply a separate set of %'s for each group of employees. So, for the employees who are below, I want to return 10% and 8% for each respective rating, but for those employees who are above, I want to return 8% and 6%. (for example).

I run a simple macro loop to clean some data across nine columns. The purpose is to collapse the data in the columns so that column 1 has the first value found in that row, for the set of columns. For instance, if columns 1-4 are empty, it deletes / shifts everything left until the first column is not empty. Then it goes to the next row and repeats. Data can range from a few rows up to 6000.
[I have a period in the data as the cell content to evaluate]
Sub A_Rollup_collapse()
StartT = Now
Dim Col As Integer
Col = Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft).Column - 9
LastR = Range("A60000").End(xlUp).Row
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For R = 2 To LastR
Do While Cells(R, Col) = "."
Cells(R, Col).Delete Shift:=xlShiftToLeft
Loop
Next R
EndT = Now
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
msg = "Done. Duration: " & Format(EndT - StartT, "h:mm:ss")
MsgBox (msg)
this macro (B) runs after another macro (A) that populates the nine columns with data using vlookups. Macro (A) It builds out a chain of information from col 2 to col 9, converts to values etc. Nothing odd.
When macro (B) is called right after running macro (A), it can take about one minute for 500 rows of data.
When I save and close the workbook, reopen it and run macro (B), it only takes one second.
When I insert a ThisWorkbook.Save between the two call statments, macro (B) still takes over a minute.
A minute is not too bad but when I'm dealing with thousands of rows, the difference is more like 30 seconds vs. 9 minutes which is a problem.

I've a sheet that records performance on individuals, what it does is collate the performance daily on certain things.
Most are simple plus/minus one and i have control buttons that do this,what it does is: On click it adds one to a different sheet, or if to remove it minuses one, and there is a total box to sum these figures.
But there is also some provision to add collected money value, and what i would like to do is have a function that deletes the last figure added to the financial transactions
This is the code
If Target.Address = "$A$6" Then Sheets(2).Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = Target.Value
So for example
in A6 £10.50 is added, but i can't think how i can provide a service that will delete the last figure in Sheet 2 range A, as this will be constantly changing.

I have built a fairly complex app in excel which takes 50 webqueries and makes a table out of specific data. It generally takes ~34 seconds to run through the webqueries, and when its done, it starts all over and runs the 50 queries again on 30 second delays. My problem is that for about 5-10 of these cycles, everything works fine, but after that, the time per set of queries starts going up...in the range of 2:00 or more for the same 50 webqueries that originally took ~34 seconds.
Without posting each of the userforms and modules, is there a general way to clear out the memory or see whats bogging down the process or anything between sets of queries to maintain performance? the webquery itself is a
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= "string" & variable
statement that gets called each of the 50 times. The only thing I can think of is that somehow variables or some other procedure isnt clearing after each of the sets of 50 queries runs. Is there any way to check that or make sure it is cleared before it begins the 50 query set again? I noticed this mostly by watching my "physical memory avaliable" drop a small amount each time the set ran, and I had to quit excel before it would return to its original amount.

why it takes about 100 times longer to set a value using a named range. The code below demonstrates the huge difference between Range("A1") and Range("my_range")

Dim counter As Long
Dim start As Double
start = Timer()
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
For counter = 1 To 34000
Range("my_range") = 9999 ' 101 seconds

What I'm trying to do is show monthly performance based on products of a few different areas. Where I'm running into problems, is with the month listings. If the report shows one month at a time, I can get it to work with SUMIF formulas, however when there is more than one (and there will always be three).

Im having slow performance reading a CSV file into 34000 sheet named ranges. Currently it takes about 8 minutes to read 34,000 records. After stepping through the code Ive realized there are two bottle necks.
1)finding which sheet that the range name resides see getRangeAddress() and
2) actually setting the value to the named range i.e. Range(ra) = dprecord(1)
The CSV file looks like this: <range name>,<data value>
e.g. DPA_1001,99090
Performanace actually seem to slow as the macro runs.
Public Sub readDatapoints()
'Macro readDataPoints
'This macro will read in the a comma seperated value (CSV) file of datapoints.
Dim sFile As String
Dim currentLine As String
Dim delimit As String
Dim counter As Integer
Dim ra As String
Dim fs As Object
Dim ts As Object
Dim dprecord
Dim oldStatusBar As Boolean
delimit = ","
