I am putting together a workbook which calculates a rota for 5 days that shows overall headcounts every 15mins.
It currently has 12672 cells containing SUMIFS.
But this takes a very long time to calculate.
Is there a faster / more efficient way for me to approach this task?
Can I attach the workbook so you can see what I mean?
I've been working on the following code and need to find a way to speed it up.
The premise is that I have a list of columns (From C2 to potentially EH and beyond) and these columns will contain the values Y, N, end or nothing. I'm looking for the quickest way to zap along the columns and delete all that have an N and to stop when end or "" is reached.
There are 2 versions as I'm not sure which one is best ...
Range("B2").Select LastColumn = Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Offset(, 1).Column For k = 2 To LastColumn ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select ' right 1 If ActiveCell.Value = "Y" Then Next k End If If ActiveCell.Value = "N" Then ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Delete 'If employee has no sickness then delete column ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select End If If ActiveCell.Value = "end" Then Exit For If ActiveCell.Value = "" Then Exit For Next k or a longer version
StripSickness: Range("B2").Select ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select ' right 1 PrintView = ActiveCell.Value 'Y/N whether employee has data If PrintView = "Y" Then GoTo StripSickness If PrintView = "N" Then GoTo NotNeeded If PrintView = "End" Then GoTo Complete 'last column shows "end" If PrintView = "" Then GoTo Complete
NotNeeded: ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Delete ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select GoTo StripSickness 'once employee is deleted, go back to stripsickness process
This may be a long shot, but I've been working on a macro today which runs a few Vlookups, does some copying and pasting and some re-aligning....basically nothing too complicated. The Vlookup is looking through approx 45,000 records and returning about 200 - 300 on average, this info returned is company name, address, contact info etc etc.
This macro is taking a ludicrously long time to run, I've checked through and removed any coding that I think is unnecessary without altering the final outcome of the macro.
It still takes ages. Has anyone got any ideas why this may be, or any tips of speeding it up?
I have a brand new computer, dual core processor, 2 gigs of ram etc so it shouldn't be performance of the machine slowing it down, and I ran it with the least applications open that I can (I'm at work so can't close everything, but none of the other applications are memory hogs or anything). I'm running on Office 2003 on Windows XP.
I am running a rather large simmulation where I have 12 for loops with each running between 0 and 100% with variable steps and the where the sum of the 12 variables has to sum to 100% and sometimes combinations of the sums of a few of the 12 have to sum up to specific values. That part works, now I am trying to get this to run faster.
Question: Is there a different design that might be able to run this process more efficiently? If not, is there a way to speed up the process by letting the computer know that all these variables are between 0 and 1 (or 100%) and that I only need 3 digits after the decimal if the value is in % form?
(the only problem with the rounding or cutting off the decimals at the end that I can think of is that it will only speed up the process a bit but will also make the summing upto 100% or any other value difficult)
I've been working on cleaning up some code that copies particular information from one sheet (as the original must remain unedited) and then edits out irrelivant information.
However I've noticed that my "before" code moves far faster than my "after" code, which is odd considering that I've cleaned out a lot of excess code and the end results are the same.
I attach an example of my old fast code and my new slow code - can anyone advise where I have gone wrong ? Run the fast code first and then the slow one - you'll see the difference!
I need help with speeding up my macro. I have been building this using alot of the recorder and the maco is just horribly sluggish. I don't know if it is possible, but it seems like it is. I need the macro to obviously work the same way. The way it has been recorded, the order of operation is important. But if any one knows how to do this better it would be a huge help. The slowest part is during the insertion of the formulas into col. J,K,&L takes like over 7min -- Macro does work perfect though.
first, id like to thank the board for the help on setting up an array or ranges.
ive been able to get my code to work but its painfully slow...if anyone had any recommendations on speeding it up would appreciate it...i was playing around with using formulaarray instead of writing and reading the data on each loop but cant get it to work...and i'm not really even sure thats the right way to go.
i copied the entire code below...what i was doing was taking 8 time series and looping thru each one to calculate some basic statistics...i ran the function EDFlyRateFromPrice to calculate another series of data which i then run the standardize, max and min functions on.
This code is pretty slow if most rows have to be hidden. I'm certain there is a faster way to do this but I'm not seeing it.
What am I doing with For each row from 12 to 236 I'm looking to see if there is data in any cell in columns A:F, H, & J. If not, I hide the row. I'm starting at row 236 and working up to 12 continuing to hide rows until I find data or I reach row 11. As soon as any row has data or row 11 is reached the the procedure ends leaving all remaining rows visible ...
However, this runs extremely slow. I had to stop it after about 10 min, as it only got to about row 1000 of 20,000.
Sub Delete_Dupes() Dim rw1 As Long: rw1 = 1 Dim rwx As Long: rwx = rw1 Dim stepx As Integer Dim co1 As Integer: co1 = 1 Dim co2 As Integer: co2 = 2 Dim bool1 As Boolean Dim bool2 As Boolean Dim bool As Boolean Dim count As Integer count = 0 Do Until Cells(rwx, co1) = "" stepx = 1 If rwx > rw1 Then On Error GoTo NewCrit bool1 = IsError(Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Cells(rwx, co1), Range(Cells(rw1, co1), Cells(rwx - 1, co1)), 0)) bool2 = IsError(Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Cells(rwx, co2), Range(Cells(rw1, co2), Cells(rwx - 1, co2)), 0)).................
Did not want to hijack Jonny's thread about ways in which to update and streamline code to make it run faster. The update speed of my first attempt at a macro is woefully slow - 5 minutes for 2.5K records. I was wondering if some of you more knowledgeable folk could look at my code and make suggestions as to how it could be modified to run faster.
When I ctrl-break out of it I usually end up in a private sub that concatenates columns A & B in Column C (see below). When it resorts the database it must keep triggering this concatenate sub which (I think) is slowing things down.
Concatenate Private Sub:
Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub ......................
1. I need to paste data that is copied from an internet window into sheet1 without selecting the cell so that I can continue working on a data in sheet5. The macro prevents me from editing sheet5 in an orderly fashion because when it goes to paste the data into sheet1 it selects the cell in sheet1 interupting what I am trying to manually do with the data in sheet5. How to paste data into a cell withou selecting the cell so that my program stops interupting what I am doing in a different sheet?
2. My macro is meant for real-time defect monitoring in a production facility. The macro opens an IE window that contains the defect occurences, copies the data, pastes it in sheet 1 then sheets2 and 3 analyze the data, closes the IE window, and then waits for a time period before repeating the process. This macro is so slow though that it is hard to work on this file while the macro is running. How to run the macro in the background and speed it up so that I can continue working on Sheet5 of the file while the macro repeats itself over and over again? Here is my code.
The variable website is determined by earlier parts of the code that direct the macro to a specific network website. Sub Half_Hour_Data
1 'Open Internet Window and Navigate to Website Set myIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") myIE.Navigate Website myIE.Visible = True Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 10) needed to wait until the page loads
[code]....
Is there a way to speed up the macro by removing the timeserials and just telling it to continue when the task is complete. Then run the whole thing in the background so I can work on another sheet while this program runs?
i'm working on floyd algorithm macro for a project, problem is, the spreadsheet matrix is huge, it's a 1043 x 1043 spreadsheet And this is taking wayyy too long, i've been waiting for almost 2 days already.. here's the file : http://ifile.it/6v2j39f (You start the macro using "run" command in "input" sheet)
So is there any way to speed it up? Or if anyone got a supercomputer, could you help me process this? :p
I'm thinking about changing the 10^5 value into infinite value, but i can't find a way to display infinite value..
And here's some reference for Floyd's algorithm, http://ifile.it/12p5zle
I have tried to split the algorithm to make it process one iteration at a time, but i've been waiting like 2 hours with no result, and that's for 1 iteration, can't imagine how long it takes for 1043 iterations You can do this by deleting the.
I'm trying to find the maximum over a set of conditional sums, preferably using an array formula or some other single cell solution. My experience with array formulas so far has been to copy things off the internet and modify slightly to my needs.
Here is how my data is set upA
B C D
Trait1 Trait2 Value Trait 1 to Max over
Cat LongHaired 3 Cat
[code]....
The "Trait1" I am summing over will remain constant for each refresh of the spreadsheet. I want to return the max value of the sum over each "Trait2" that falls into the "Trait1" category.
In this example for Trait1 of "cat" I would return 8 (5+3) that corresponds to LongHaired cat.If I were writing straight SumIf and then Maxing over I would write
Code: =SUMIF(C:C,A:A,$D$2,B:B,"LongHaired")
for each unique Trait2 and then Max over the set of outputs.
I've been looking for an alternative to SUMIFS as I have a sheet I need backwardly compatible with Excel 2003. I've looked at SUMPRODUCT which I understand is a good alternative to COUNTIFS but does not allow for summing. I've now moved on to looking at an array formula I picked up from an internet search, but it's not working properly for me. The crux of my Excel 2007 formula is:
The criteria "Idle Time" & "Oil stock losses" are in Col A.
I would like to add the values in Col C based on "Idle Time" & "Oil stock losses" which are in Col A
The formula =SUMIFS(C$275:C$379,$A275:$A$379,{"Idle Time","Oil stock *"}) adds the idle time value correctly, but ignore the values of Oil Stock losses
I am trying to create a master spreadsheet to sum up other tabs for the number of funds that are going operational by month. The date is formatted at "January 31,2013".
See attachment as an example : Client Schedule Example.xlsx
Having issues trying to do a sumifs function using multiple criteria to get a final total. I want to sum a list of values that have different transaction types from a transaction table. The only working way I have found is to do a sumif and create a CSE formula for it and drag it down and sum to the total. I am looking for a way to sum the the entire list of transaction types I need from the transaction tab and get to the total value rather than have to use a CSE and then sum. Basically I want to take out the sum of the CSE results....Is there anyway to do this?
I have the following figures in my spreadsheet and I have been trying to use SUMIFS. However, I don't want to count values in a continuous way, rather than that, I need to count the values ONLY until the number that is being counted repeats.
Example: Spreadsheet from Column Q1 to Column Q6:
Q1 Controlling Q2 8 Q3 8 Q4 8 Q5 8 Q6 8
On this case, the Excel would count the number 8 five times in this array. However, If there were more number just below the number 8, it would count them as well and that's not what I am looking for.
Q1 Controlling Q2 8 Q3 8 Q4 8 Q5 8 Q6 8 Q7 5 Q7 8
What do I need is not to count them when the number being counted has stopped to appear eventhough it can be found at Q7.
For my needs the answer should be that the number 8 was counted 5 five times rather than 6.
Here is a sample of the formula I am currently using.
Formula:
[Code]....
This works perfectly for what I was needing but I am adding more criteria and running into a problem. I am rolling together usage for parts with different part numbers but the same function in order to reduce SKUs (as well as capture replaced SKUs) needed. These are located in Columns A:G. what i would like to add is more conditions to where the parts are going. Currently I have one location located in cell B2. To analize my usage further, I want to add another location in C2. So i want my formula to look like this.
Formula:
[Code] .....
when I use this it still only adds up with what matches in B2 regardless of the value in C2. Conversely, I can get the formula to work if I take out the extra part numbers.
Attached is a spreadsheet. The first worksheet is a summary of the data inputted in the second. I am trying to total the "total spend field depending on whether it is "Extra Works", "Spares & Materials" or "Other" which works fine. I would now like to sum depending also on the month that it was spent.
Using the SUMIFS function, I could successfully get the expected results from extracting data from 15 base separate excel files (from where the data will be extracted). However, whenever I am re-opening my master sheet(where I want the data to reflect) it gives me #VALUE!
Only after opening all my 15 base sheets, my master sheet fetches data.
I am trying to solve the problem I am having for my weekly report. Currently our Reporting has to be done Via Excel, with no reporting consule to have dynamic ability. I am trying to put a formula table together so all my manager has to do is dump raw data and the calculations take care of the totals for the table. I am running into the issue of when trying to return certain data at a certain date. So here is what I have and what I need (If it can be done without changing the formula each week)
