Opening Text File Makes The Code Slow
Feb 19, 2012
I am using the below to open a text file and copy the used range to my working workbook. The opening of the file makes the code slow and and also it may be bcoz i am trying to paste 11800 lines of data from one file to another.
Also i can see the flickering of the screen when the files are open. How to make the code faster and more efficient.
Code:
Sub readSimFile()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'//code//
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
[Code] ......

I know that the below code goes some way to opening a text file that I'm importing. The thing is, I want it to do this every day and work out the filename itself.
This should be simple as the filename is based on the date.
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;c:docs oday_06062007.txt", Destination:=Range("A1"))
All I want to do is have the start of the filename: 'C:docs oday_' and add the date in the same format automatically...

I'm working with a list of different manufacturer part numbers, that must be represented in TEXT format only! The file with manufacturer part numbers exported from ERP system to TXT/CSV formats. When I open it in Excel , manually in "Text Import Wizard" I define Column Data Format as Text.
Examples:
1. part number 3214-4-5 turns to 05/04/3214
2. part number 0005487 turns to 5487
3. part number 223878615654 turns to 2.23879E+11
4. part number 4303.240600 turns to 4303.2406
Is anyway to do it automatically from VBA? I try to record macro , but it does not contain "text format".

Is it possible to write vba code that will generate a text file with ALL changes that were made to an excel file. Ex. If Cell A17 = "Monday, June 4, 2012" and a user updates Cell A17 to "N/A", I would like to know what the value was before and after the udpate was made.

I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:
[url]
So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.

I have the following piece of
Sub Summarise_Variations()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim Write_Cell As Long
With Application
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.StatusBar = "Please wait - Summarising variations..."
End With
It happily goes through a list and sums multiple records. It might not be the most efficient or best way to do it but it works and when I run it on a couple of stand alone sheets it takes a couple of seconds to process if that.
Unfortunately when I run it as part of the overall application that I've developed it takes ages to run, i.e. more like ten minutes.
The spreadsheet has a few graphs and about 250 sumproduct and array formula live in it but all other formula on other sheets are created and then paste valued as part of other VBA routines. As you can see I've also turned calculation off as the procedure runs so don't understand why it is suddenly taking so long.

way the code below can be made more efficient? Basically, I drop down a combobox, and based on the value i select, it populates a lot of textboxes etc based on the listindex.....
Private Sub ComboBox3_Click()
On Error Resume Next
With Me.ComboBox3
If .ListIndex = -1 Then Exit Sub
Label23.Caption = Sheets("overview").Cells(.ListIndex + 2, "c").Value
Label24.Caption = Sheets("overview").Cells(.ListIndex + 2, "b").Value
Label38.Caption = Sheets("overview").Cells(.ListIndex + 2, "d").Value
TextBox1.Text = Sheets("overview").Cells(.ListIndex + 2, "e").Value
TextBox2.Text = Sheets("overview").Cells(.ListIndex + 2, "f").Value
TextBox3.Text = Sheets("overview").Cells(.ListIndex + 2, "g").Value
It takes about 10 seconds every time i choose another project

I do those things, I set every object = nothing... I even moved them up to right after I use the object. When I open the workbook, my process's shows excel at 38000K. my first go of running code, stepping thru is great... I watch my process and see that I get up to 78000K... I then exit my code, properly... and the process goes only down to about 50000K. If I run it a 2nd time excel process show almost a 100000k and stepping thru is slow, slow motion... a 3rd time and I am at 120000k. I am setting everything to nothing and can't figure it out... I have done bigger projects with more forms, recordsets, collections and never have had this problem.

In certain spreadsheets I have noticed a significant deterioration in save times. There may/may not have any formulas or macros on them and most are very small files 20-50kb. I notice that Excel puts a temporary file on the desktop while saving the original. The temp file goes away once the original is saved. While saving, I get the time icon which goes to beachball and it can take up to a minute to save the file. This happens on 2-3 Macs on network. Using 10.5

I have some code which looks for the word "Out" in column "L" and hides the row if it finds it. This is running from row 24 to 160 and takes about a minute to run. I've tried two different solutions, neither really quicker than the other.

I am only looping it through about 4 thousand records, looking for match and dups and moving it over to the other sheet, so why is my code running so slow?
I have run other programs where the records are in 40 thousand and it doesn't take as long as it is right now. Is there a way to make code run faster?

I have a some code that we use in our office that works ok on my pc. When others in the office try to use the macro the year gets changed to 19 instead of 09. The only problem I have is that the code seems to slow down when it is trying to print the worksheet out. Can the code be shortened up/cleaned up. We are looking for gridlines with inside /outside lines, landscape and left/right margins of .25

If you open the file sets.xls, you will see that I have listed 5 sets of 10 numbers.
A21:J21
A22:J22
A23:J23
A24:J24
A25:J25
These sets are such that all 10 numbers matches with sets of 20 numbers listed vertically in the range K1:S20 atleast twice (T21:T25 -twice)
I know there are 50+ sets like these and I have listed just 5 of them.
How can I search the other sets?
I have uploaded a zip file which has an excel file. Run the module "DoIt" and you will get all 50+ sets like these.
The problem is that the module takes 42 minutes on my Celeron 800 Mhz 256 MB SDRAM. I want to reduce this time.

The code opens a varying workbook with the same format as the source workbook and copies specific columns into the source workbook.
It is currently taking about 20seconds to run.
The worksheets are protected and have merged cells hence the call TestMe line.

I am making a small push button calculator to enter data into a textbox on a userform in an add-in file and this works fairly slowly. I am trying to concatenate a list of numbers in a textbox that simulates a calculator screen when entering numbers.
Private Sub CommandButton6_Click()
Dim Val
Val = "6"
Dim valand As Range
Set valand = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Stageing").Range("K65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
valand = Val
Dim A As Range, B, C, d, E, F, G, H, I, J
Set A = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Stageing").Range("K2")
Set B = A.Offset(1, 0)
Set C = B.Offset(1, 0)
Set d = C.Offset(1, 0)
Set E = d.Offset(1, 0)
Set F = E.Offset(1, 0)
Set G = F.Offset(1, 0)
Set H = G.Offset(1, 0)
Set I = H.Offset(1, 0)
Set J = I.Offset(1, 0)
TextBox1.Value = A & B & C & d & E & F & G & H & I

I am having a little trouble with this code, which runs in my simple but efective ressource overview. It loops through a rather large range and assigns interior colour to the cells based on certain criteria. On my stationary machine (Excel 2003) it takes approximately 15-30 seconds to run the code which is acceptable. On my laptop (Excel 2007) it takes 5+ minutes which is unacceptable. Is there a workaround so as to optimize the speed? Further, when I run this workbook on Excel 2007, even entering an integer in the sheet takes 3-4 seconds, and no code is running! In my first version I used a Change_Event to colour cells on the fly but this was slow and prevented multible cell editing as well as pasting values into the appropriate range.
Public Sub Farvelade()
Dim icolor, Navn As Integer
Dim TargetRow, LastRow, Previous As Long
Dim Target As Range
MsgBox "Det kan tage 15-30 sekunder at opdatere ressourcekalenderen"
Range("A5").Activate
Range("A5"). CurrentRegion.Select
'Set range
ActiveCell.Offset(Selection.Rows.Count, 0).Activate
LastRow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row.....................

I have an Excel workbook that will be used by multiple users who share a network drive.
I would like to set it up so that the VBA code is ran from a text file stored on the network drive containing the VBA code. Basically a macro would run from the Excel workbook and get the VBA code from the text file and then run that code. Has anyone done this before or can anyone provide the syntax for this process?

I have an excel file which consist of 12 sheets. The main sheet contain columns from A to EL and 556 rows.
At the moment, i have data on from column A to AI (we will add more data day by day). All data in main sheet are linking to another 4 sheets which basically using IF, VLOOKUP, and Conditional Formatting. My file originally was only 4.6MB in size.
However, after adding the formula (IF & Vlookup) and conditional formatting to the fourth sheet (number of columns is from A to BZ) then the file size increased from 4.6MB to 13.7MB.
My excel file also became very slow and i need to take off the Automatically Calculation option.

I am trying to inch my way forward to writing a macro that will read in an external CSV file into a sheet (my next task will be to spread the date between multiple sheets based on regions). My first attempt at code is the following
Sub read_csv()
Dim strLine As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim filename As String
Dim ans As String
filename = "C:Documents and SettingsMichaelMina dokumentMina datakällorD123905.csv"
Open filename For Input As #1
i = 1
While Not EOF(1) And i < 10
Line Input #1, sLine
ans = MsgBox(sLine, vbOK, "hello there")
i = i + 1
Wend
' Close filename
End Sub
A couple of problems arise. When I debug the code, if I remove the comment on the close filename, the debugger complains with error 13 (incompatible types). If I comment the line and try and run the code twice in a row, I get a complaint about error 55 - file already open. I'm guessing that the close filename is the correct syntax - if it isn't, what should it be??

Is it possible to write a macro that can import VBA code in a text file then execute it? I need this functionality as I have produced a corporate spreadsheet template that goes out to many people and I will need to be able to update it as requirements change once it has been distributed. So my idea was to build a macro in the template that has the code in it to import the "update code" from a text file that I would send to all the folks that have the template. If the template was centralized, that would save me from this issue but it is however going to be distributed widely.

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?
