Outline Performance Degrades
All,
I am trying to programatically apply an Outline to a sheet of about 1000 data rows. So I use: Sheets("Sheet1").Rows(i).OutlineLevel = x in a loop and this works fine on a test sheet. It takes about 0.3 seconds for 1000 lines. Problem: With a large file loaded in Excel (about 8Meg - not THAT large), but not active, the same test routine on the same test sheet in the same test file slows to about 1.5 seconds PER LOOP STATEMENT ! Have tried all performance tricks I know - events, calculation, screenupdating, disabling macros of the big spreadsheet, clearing the TEMP directory. It appears that memory availability highly impacts performance of the outline function. Has this been encountered? Any workarounds, or am I somehow mis-applying the OutlineLevel approach? This seems to happen in XL2000 and XL2002. Thanks for any enlightenment, Alex J |
Outline Performance Degrades
Correction:
On further testing, not just ANY large file slows down Outline level setting function, but a specific set of functions in one file. I will update the NG with any correlations I can find.
