Worksheet Change Causes Three Second Delay

May 23, 2007

I don't know any way ask this question without attaching an example. But the problem itself is pretty easy to explain. On the attached worksheet, whenever anyone makes a change to the information in column C (labeled as Act. Chicks) this triggers a worksheet change that makes that cell have a red font. It also triggers a routine (in a standard module) that updates textboxes that continually display a running total.

Here is the problem: After the information is entered, and the routines have finished executing, there is an incredibly annoying delay of about three seconds. That is, it takes three seconds before you can even select a different cell. This is very difficult for the user to deal with, especially when she has a great deal of information that she would like to enter very quickly. What is strange to me is that if I run the routine for the Worksheet Change within the VBE, I get the delay after the last line of the code (in the standard module) has been executed. In other words, I can't see any code that is running during this long "pause." What is the computer doing during this time, and what can I do to fix it?

Delay Calculation Of Worksheet Functions

Nov 9, 2006

I have a workbook that has many simple functions moving data around to different sheets and processing some if statements on some of the data. The problem that I am running into is all of the data is initially pulled in from a SQL DB, and I believe that the workbook is calculating many of it's if statements, prior to all of the SQL data being loaded, therefore, many of the worksheet formulas are coming up with the wrong result. Is there a way to delay the calculation of all the basic worksheet functions, so that I can ensure that all the data is in the workbook from SQL, before they all fire. I have attempted to use Tools--Options--Calculation--Manual Calculation, but it appears that even though I have things set that way, all of the formulas in the workbook have already pulled their values through.

Worksheet Change To Function To Add Text To Cell Which Initially Triggered Change

Jan 10, 2014

i have some existing code which is trigerred when anything is input into column c. The code then adds various information in another three columns. One of which pastes a vlookup formulae, and i would like this forumlae pasted into the column c cell which i initialy edited, in order to remove the requirement for one additional column.

The existing code i have is:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim MyText As String
MyText = Environ("username")
If Target.Cells.Column = 3 Then
With Target
If .Value "" Then
.Offset(0, 2).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(D:D,'P:TAOffshoreTAOffshoreTreasuryRecsGeneralCommit ID''s for control Sheet - Do not move or delete[commit ids - DO NOT DELETE OR MOVE.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$65536,2,0)"

[code].....

I have tried changing the offset to (0,0) or changing the offset to 'target = ', which does add in the vlookup but then the macro debugs at the 'If .Value "" Then' code?

Worksheet Change Event Triggered By Formula Change?

Dec 6, 2011

Basically the situation I have is Sheet2 has many references to cells in Sheet1. Sheet2 is for all intents and purposes a kind of nicely formatted report form, and Sheet1 is the input form.

My ultimate goal is to automatically resize row heights on Sheet2 when cell contents change on Sheet2.

Using a worksheet_change event isn't working I presume because it doesn't see the formula output change as a worksheet change, the worksheet_change is firing only when the input is changed in Sheet1.

how can I capture these formula output changes on Sheet2 (triggered from input on Sheet1) OR is there a way of making a particular sheets rows always adjust in height to best fit?

Put Delay In Macro

I'm downloading data from a database that takes sometimes up to a minute to download the data. However I have a sum function in the macro that calls the cells that the downloaded data will be in. The problem is the sum function is occuring before the data is downloaded so the sum is always 0. Any way to build in a delay timer?

How To Count The Delay Of Numbers

Feb 13, 2008

If for example:

I place number 7 in cell A2, A3, A12 and A22. I want to know the delay this particular number has. Looking at the example placed before the pattern should be the following (A2) 0, (A2-A3) 1, (A3-A12) 9, (A12-A22) 10. After A22 there's is no more number 7 therefore the delay in the example is of 3 i want this to change automatically until the next 7 appears. I've given an example, from C1 to P1 i have written 14 numbers i would like to know the delay of all these numbers.....

Add Time Delay Between Macro Steps

Jan 15, 2009

Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.1"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.2"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.3"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.4"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.5"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.6"
etc . . .

Basically, I just recorded a macro to change the cell value. This code continues to 4.8 . . .Is there a more efficient way to code this??
Also, I'd like to add a time delay (say +-5seconds) between each step. So basically it would say:

Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.1"
[CODE THAT DELAYS FOR A TIME, THEN GOES TO THE STEP BELOW]
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.2"
[CODE THAT DELAYS FOR A TIME, THEN GOES TO THE STEP BELOW]

Delay In Switching Between Workbook Windows

Oct 22, 2009

Workbook Name Changes – But Workbook Does Not For Five Seconds?? MS Office Excel 2003 / SP3 Installed. I have noticed an odd occurrence from time to time while switching between workbooks. When I switch from one workbook to another, (typically via the “Window” pull down – but the same result happens when switching workbooks on the tabs at the bottom of the screen), the “switched to” workbook name will instantly appear at the top of the application, but the actual switch to the selected workbook is delayed for several seconds, (five seconds or so).

While not a major issue, it is annoying. I suspect that it is a memory allocation issue, (I have a Duo CPU System / XP Pro / 2 GB RAM), and with that in mind I have both restated MS Excel and also performed a complete re-boot. While either option does (seem) to result in the issue being (temporally) removed from my machine, it does return. I may go for several days without this issue occurring, and then it appears for no known reason

Delay Parts Of A Macro From Running

Oct 13, 2006

I have created a macro that goes to a report application. The report application runs a script that extracts certain parts of various reports (the script asks for user input to pull the various reports) and exports the data to a spreadsheet. The script gets one report, writes the data to a spreadsheet, gets the next report, appends the data to the spreadsheet, etc. The macro then moves and formats the data in a customized way to be put to second spreadsheet. My problem is that the macro tries to format the data before the script has completed - how can I stop the macro from running until the script has finished? The script varies in run time - anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes.

StringConcat (Chip Pearson) Calculation Delay

Oct 20, 2009

I have used Chip's StringConcat code [url]

When I first entered the function code as a formula on the worksheet, the result was instant and correct.

However, if I change the contents of one of the cells in the stringconcat range, the result does not change.

I need to edit (eg F2 then enter) either the cell with the text or the cell with the formula for the result to update.
If I highlight the column where the formula is used and Find / Replace to change "=" for "=", they all update at once (tip I learn't here)

Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas why it may happen?

Notes:
I am using Excel 2000 (work)
I have 6 cols of info (I to N),
These 6 columns contain formulae that basically copies plain text from the same row in Cols A to F. (Since not all the left hand side cells are full, the formula copies down the value above if the cell isblank, or copies the cell value if there istext)
Formula is in Cell G2 and reads
=stringconcat("; ",TRUE,I2:N2)
Code is stored in the Module1
I have 1 header row (Row 1)
I have 16 rows of text (Rows 2 to 17)
Not all rows have text in all 6 columns, but the are no blank cells betweeen data working left to right
I need our IT Admin to install Excel Genie!
