Visual Basic
HI all ,
OK ... help here please ... you know when you write a visual basic programme in Excel , and you want to take some information from "Sheet1" and do some calculations with it and put it into "Sheet2" for example .. but you want to do this calculation thousnads of times ... well what you see when you run it is Excel flicking from Sheet1 to Sheet2 all the time ... is there any way of turning that off ... like turning off that ... if you know what I mean ... because it must slow the programme down having to display each sheet every time .. I am looking for a command like "AutoUpdate Off " does that exist ?? Thanks |

yep you can turn off the updating
put the following at the beginning of your code Application.ScreenUpdating = False there is no need to set it to true as this is done automatically when macro finishes. you may also want to use the following if your spreadsheets contain lots of formulas application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual this stops excel recalculating formulas each time it changes something - however you do need to set this back to automatic at the end of the macro application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic |

Hi Adrian,
Turning off screen updating (and calculation) will make a tremendous difference. The fact that you have a lot of screen refreshing though probably indicates that you are changing the selection and or activecell. Code produced by the macro recorder does not generally produce efficient code. It usually changes the selections and refers to specific cells. Use the recorded macro as an aid for what instructions can be used, and look up those instructions in VBE Help.. Once the new sheet is created is possible to refer to any cell on either sheet without changing the sheet or the cell selection. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/code/bus_sched.txt Some hints on better coding can be found in Slow Response and Memory Problems http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/slowresp;.htm and in Proper, and other Text changes -- Use of SpecialCells http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/proper.htm and in Charles William's site Decision Models - Excel Pages - Calculation Secrets, Downloads and Tips http://www.decisionmodels.com/optspeed.htm -- --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... Adrian, There sure is. Precede your code with Application.Screenupdating = False and set it to True on exit. -- HTH Bob Phillips "Adrian Tucker" wrote in message ...
