avoid to show the cursor movement during the Macro
 

Hi I am newbie with macro excel, so sorry for the no so technical question.

I need to create a report in a sheet 1 on base informations reported in the
sheet 2. Now to buiilt the script I am using the ".activate" or ".select"
command and everything seems to work fine but I am wondering if there is a
way to avoid the cursor visualization run up and down on the screen and
avoid also the Sheet 1 to Sheet 2 selecting on the screen while the the
script is running. Is ther a way to work with cells or range without have
that visualization ? Could i Set a variable as worksheet and work with Cell
and Range selection inside the variable ?

Thanks in advance

Precede the code with

Application.Screenupdating = True

and reset to False at the end.

BTW, rarely need to Select anything, can usually do it directly. Faster, and
shorter code.

oops, other way round. Set to False at start, and reset to True at the end.
