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?
View 9 RepliesI 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.

I have trouble in deleting the duplicate rows. I have a code to find the duplicate values
Public Sub Unique_Proj() 'This is the first step which takes out the unique projects from the base data
'Call Work_Assignment
'this selects the unique projects in the sheet
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim A, E, B(), n As Long
Sheets("Projects").Select
With ActiveSheet
A = . Range("g2", .Range("g" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
Redim B(1 To UBound(A, 1), 1 To 1)
With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
.CompareMode = vbTextCompare
For Each E In A
If Not IsEmpty(E) And Not .exists(E) Then
n = n + 1: B(n, 1) = E: .Add E, Nothing
End If
Next
End With
Sheets("Unique Projects").Select
Range("G3:G" & Rows.Count).ClearContents
Range("G3").Resize(n).Value = B
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
However, this gives me a list of values in that perticular column only.
What I want is either delete the complete row which is duplicate OR select the entire range of values which are unique (based on the column searched) and paste it in a new sheet. The second option is more better for me.
I have a worksheet populated with data. I have sorted the data and have dupulicate values in column B,C,D up to H.
I have put in a formula to give me a 1 value in column A where there are duplicates. Is there a way to write a VBA code that will Delete all the rows that have a 1 in column A.
My Excel program (Excel 2010) currently has several columns and each column looks for and pulls data from a specific file on my computer. Then I need to delete any duplicate data entries, count the number of unique entries and track the changes through a chart. I have everything done except I cannot figure out (or find on the internet) a way to search in multiple columns (more than 2) and delete just the duplicate cells. I want to delete the cells in a way where there is one left. For example if the code 12gf is duplicated three time, I want to be left with one 12gf (it doesnt matter what column the original one is left in). Additionally, column length changes and they are not sorted. I have attempted to attach an image of an example file below.

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.

On Error Goto Errorhandling

I have a spreadsheet with 3300 rows. In column A there is a list of company names and in column H there is a corresponding Sales Rep name.Column A has many duplicate company names. I would like to run a macro that will find the a company name and then delete all the rest of the rows that contain that same company name.
Attached is a sample of that spreadsheet.
I feel as though I have spent enough time searching the previous posts to ask this question.
I have a 4 column sheet, column B has many cells with identical data. I want to delete all the rows that that have duplicate data in column B.
COLUMN A= Car Makers

Here is my code thus far....

Im setting up a spreadsheet that does engineering calculations. Im using macros to run sizes from a standard schedule. It basically takes the values from one sheet (schedule) to another (calculation), then the result from the calculation sheet (Value only, not the link) is pasted back into the schedule. The macro seems very bulky and im sure that it can be made more efficient with a loop. here is a sample of the code from the macro;
Sheets("Calc sheet").Select
Range("C6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Schedule!R[1]C"
Range("C7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Schedule!RC[1]"
Range("C8").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Schedule!R[-1]C[2]"
Range("C9").Select
Sheets("Schedule").Select
Range("G7").Select..................

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy macro works fine but I'm interested in seeing if I can speed it up. What I'm doing is starting at the bottom and comparing it with the row above and if they match in font color it will fill the top with orange and delete the bottom. This works but usually takes several minutes.

I am working with timesheet data (name, project code, task code, date, hours etc...) in one spreadsheet and rate card data (name, role, day rate etc...) in another.
My task is to pull together some of the information in each of these two source spreadsheets and compile a report. This I have done no problem. However, where a person works on a particular project and task on the same day and records multiple entries (which could be negative) I need to consolidate the hours in all these matching rows and have just one row reflect the total hours worked and delete the other duplicate rows.
So an example would be:
Project | Task | Name | Role | Date | Hours
123456 | 1.001 | Paul Jones | Project Manager | 20/02/2008 | 2.5
123456 | 1.001 | Paul Jones | Project Manager | 20/02/2008 | -2.5
123456 | 1.001 | Paul Jones | Project Manager | 20/02/2008 | 3.5

My problem is I don't think I have approached this the right way but am unsure of where to go with it. The code as is does sort of work but I still get some duplicate and zero lines in my results.

VBA code that will delete all the rows where cell "C" is duplicated
I have look on the net and there is loads of complicated codes out there but I am looking for something fast.
I am trying to delete duplicate rows and have had some success using a VBA from MR Excel threads. However, i would like to add multiple sheets to be compared. When i change the vba to use array, the next line fails with error 438, not a supported objectproperty method.....
Here is the code:
Sub CheckWest()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
With Sheets("west")
LR = .Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 1 Step -1
If IsNumeric(Application.Match(.Range("C" & i).Value, Sheets("Removals").Columns("C"), 0)) Then .Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End With
End Sub
This checks the sheet "removals" column "c", any duplicates found in sheet "west" column "c", row is deleted. I would like to add additional sheets, how to correctly change this line of the VBA?
With Sheets(array("west", "east", "north"))?? I beileive this is what i tried and the next line errored.
How would I go about deleting duplicate rows?
I've searched the board already and I couldn't find this.
I have a sheet with different data in each column, song titles, writers, owners and so on.
say this information runs from column A to H down 10,000 rows, occasionally information is duplicated in certain rows, except for column A.
I need to be able to search the sheet and delete any extra rows that are duplicated.
So I'll end up with the exact data in each row only appearing once.
My worksheet that will have duplicate data inserted into it. Once inserted I need to delete the new duplicate row and the row it duplicated. The attachment is a copy of what the data looks like with the first tab showing what it will look like with inserted data and the second tab is what I want it to look like at the end. I will not need the deleted data again so it does not need to be on a new sheet, that is just for an example. The name of the tabs will also be different so I want to be able to run it on any worksheet. This is the code I am using to find and delete the duplicate but I can't get it to delete the original. I used "First, MI, Last, and DOB" because those are the ones that won't be duplicated where others will. This is a list of about 15,000 entries. There should never be an incident where there is triplicate data but I can't say for sure.

I can delete duplicate rows easily enough, but I can't seem to capture a couple variables where I would not want to delete the selected row. There are no headings, all data starts in Row 1.
I start in Row 1 Columns C and D, compare that to Row 3 Columns C and D (Every other row). If it is a duplicate entry in both columns, delete that row and the row below it. Pick up at next row and continue. See attached Excel file (Excel 2003). The rows with fonts colored RED are the only rows from this data that should get deleted.
Hi i have the below code which runs on deleting duplicate code which i found in an excel manual. I am having some trouble as i want to convert the code so that it will run on all worksheets i have which are numbered such as 1,2,3,4 etc.
This is so it makes the workbook easy maintenance for when deleting or adding worksheets which happens quite regularly.
I have a spreadsheet with three colums of data. The first column contains
records which have occasional phone number duplication- see blelow:
(555) 000-0000DataA1ValueA1
(555) 000-0000DataA2ValueA2
(555) 555-9770DataA3ValueA3
(555) 555-4464DataA4ValueA4
(555) 555-4464DataA5ValueA5
(555) 555-4720DataA6ValueA6
(555) 555-8823DataA7ValueA7
(555) 555-3834DataA8ValueA8
(555) 555-4125DataA9ValueA9
What I need to do is (somehwhat) automate the process of filtering or
deleting out all rows which have duplicate data in the first column, but not
second or third columns. I'm sure it's been done...I tried the Excel
out-of-the-box.
I have a sheet caled "Data", with thousands of rows.
I want to delte any rows that have duplicate rows only if the following data is in the same row but if in column A, coloumn C and column H have the same data
A B C D E F H I
w 1 1 3 4 5 6 7
e 1 1 1 3 4 5 8
w 2 1 5 2 5 6 7
The last row would need to be deleted as dupilcates are A C and H
The data is not sorted.
I need to delete duplicate rows in the "Description" column but keep the highest number in the "Order" column. In addition, I need to combine the duplicate amounts for (Budget, Commit, PTD, Avail) into the one line item that is left after removing the duplicates. This is what the spreadsheet would look like initially:
Order
Description
Budget
Commit

I have 6 columns on my data sheet. F column is Amount column.
If there are rows where all the columns A,B,C,D and E duplicate then I need that row to be deleted, BUT before that the value from the column F should be summed to the duplicating row's F column.
I attached a simple example file, where you can see my point better. (I need the code to work with thousands of rows, and not only with 5 rows which i put on the axample)
