Excel 2010 :: Legacy Macros Running Slow?
May 26, 2011I have inherited support for a suite of Excel 2003 spreadsheets with complicated macros which run fine on XP. Having been tasked to test them on Windows 7 with Office 2010, I have not converted them as they are run by several sites globally who may not upgrade to Office 2010 at the same time. Hence they run in compatibility mode which in general is fine.
However, certain macros are veeeery slow and to the user would look like the app has hung. In debug I have found that the macro takes 10 minutes plus whenever it hits any of the following code:
Code:
With Application
.Calculation = xlAutomatic
.MaxChange = 0.001
End With
ActiveWorkBook.PrecisionAsDisplayed = False
It goes slow on each of the three 'lines' so it seems that it is actually doing an auto calc each time!
Is there some configuration I can do to prevent this? Setting auto calc to Manual didn't work and anyway I loose things, like data validation, when I save it in Excel 2010.
Vba Running Slow
Aug 27, 2007I have a workbook with macros Ive created that have been running just fine for 2 years now. Ive upgraded to a top of the line new Dell D830 dual core laptop with 2gb ram and installed excel 2003 (same excel as always). Certain macros that used to take a second or two to run on a celeron dell now take 3min's! Ive stepped through the code in debug mode and found that its hanging up in simple areas like "Columns("A:A").Select" and "Selection.ClearContents". We have 16 older laptops running these exact codes just fine all day long and the 2 new fast computers with core 2 duo processors are hanging up constantly in the same places in code. Ive gone through and made sure all the "option" settings are identical in excel. Is there some system setting That I'm missing or possibly an excel setting That I may have overlooked?

Data Filters Running Very Slow
Oct 5, 2009I have an excel sheet with about 3,000 products listed; there are 26 items of data listed against each.
I've been using Data Filters to manipulate the info, but my worksheet has suddenly started running incredibly slowly - up to 7 minutes to implement a simple filter selection.
There was no problem until I made a couple of changes last week:
1. Adding a simple pivot table
2. Using an Index column plus some linked formulae to extract a list of suppliers from the product list.
I assumed that it may be the INDEX and related formulae or the pivot table that were causing the Data Filters to run slow, so I deleted them, but to no effect. I've even gone so far as to copy the raw data into a new sheet, but it's still running incredibly slowly when I try to filter. I am convinced that the problem is related to some hidden legacy of the table or functions, as it only started once I'd added these, but I don't know if this is plausible in reality and if so how to get rid of it.

Dec 2, 2009I have built an Application in Excel that is used by a userbase of 50+ people. Now, as standard, they are only able to access the document read only. The application writes data to an ".mdb" but the user cannot change the application directly istself.

Macros VERY Slow After Setting The PrintArea
Jul 3, 2008i have the following problem: as a Workbook_BeforePrint statement i wrote a macro in which i recalculate the print area of 2 tables in Sheet1 and Sheet2. The table autogenerates new lines through another macro and therefore i need to set the area because i cannot know from the start how big will be the table (how many lines it will have). I know only how many columns it will have (from cell B2 (or Sheet1.Cells(2,2)) to column 13, on Sheet1 and 5 on Sheet2).
As i said, before Print (or PrintPreview) excel triggers this Workbook_BeforePrint macro. In this macro i count the lines on a column which is the Current Nr. column, until cell is empty (=""). The macro works perfect. Here is the macro:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
setprint
End Sub
Sub setprint() .....
Macro Running Very Slow - Cell (press Esc To Cancel)
Dec 10, 2009I have written some very basic code to format a report in excel. When I run the code it take a very long time to execute and I receive the following error message at the foot of the page:

Annoyingly I have had this error before and found the solution on the web but can't remember where. If memory serves my right I deleted some temp files from a specific location on my hard drive?
Macros Really Slow The Another Macros Is Run
Dec 14, 2009I have two macros. Macros 1 opens another excel file, counts the number of rows it has, inserts that number of rows into the master file and then copies the data over. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)...
For k = 1 To numrows
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
Next k
Macros 2 'cleans' the appended data by systematically going through each row, checking if certain cells have data, and if not deletes the rows. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)...
For l = lastrow To 12 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("B" & l & ":C" & l)) = 0 Then
Rows(l & ":" & l).Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
edelrows = edelrows + 1
End If
Next l
Here's the weirdness. macros 1 runs fairly quick the first time out (few seconds). Macros 2 takes about 2 minutes to run (which I'm fine with). However, when I run macros 1 AFTER running Macros 2, Macros 1 goes from taking a few seconds to a few minutes.

However, if I am in Excel on a different server working, I cannot copy and paste in Excel (if I try to copy & paste, I end up pasting data from the macro).

Running Macros From A Separate Workbook
Jun 9, 2008Our department receives weekly and fortnighly updated workbooks from a number of different departments. Each workbook contains 10s of worksheets. Our department analyzes the data and generates reports from those worksheets.
I have developed a few macros to automate the report generation for making the computing of my colleagues easier.
Now, the problem is that all the macros are developed behind individual sheets and some modules. For this reason, my colleagues have to copy each updated sheet and paste over the older ones individually, each and every time. It is really quite time-consuming task - deleting older data from all the worksheets and then copying fresh data on each of them, one by one.
They want to make their life easier by just replacing the entire workbooks with the new ones and still want the macros functioning, as usual.
My concern is how I can put all the code in a separate workbook and how to reference data from the other workbook.
Macros Are Running In Design Mode?
Apr 8, 2012I have been writing VBA code in Excel for about 4 years, but I am self-taught, so I only know what I have had to learn. Recently, I learned that I could run a macro from a cell formula. I created several hundred cells (on multiple worksheets) that include calls to various macros. I only want to run these when I know they need to be updated, not every time I change a cell value.
I turn on Design Mode and try to modify my worksheet (adding or removing columns, rearranging stuff) and some macro(s), somewhere(?) execute every time. This can sometimes take 15-20 seconds for everything to update.
Did I hit some magic key sequence, somewhere? How is it that some of my macros, somewhere are running with Design Mode enabled (and turning it OFF, by the way)?
Running Macros In A Shared Workb
Dec 14, 2002Whenever I share a workbook, I experience problems running macros that are problem-free otherwise. I’ve read the help menu about restrictions of using shared workbooks, but I did not run across anything that might explain this behavior. I’ve experimented with a few spreadsheets and I run across this problem in all cases. Can anyone help with an explanation or past experience? I’m assuming that by sharing a workbook, the workbook is automatically protected for both windows and structure. If this is what is causing the problem, is there code I can use to still allow my macros to run trouble free in a shared workbook?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow To Prevent Auto Macros From Running
Sep 11, 2008I have made a vba program in excel 2003 that opens a worksheet using Workbooks.Open, and copies all the worksheets out into the program etc. The worksheets that I am opening have macros that automatically execute when the worksheet is opened (opening up some forms ). These macros are running when I open the file using VBA. How can I prevent this from happening. The automatically executed code in the workbook being opened is located in "this workbook" and can be seen below.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
