Hi All...........

I have a macro that works fine, except it takes too long to
run......something like a couple of minutes. The thing that makes it slow
is the following line.........

Worksheets("BladesX1").Range("FieldBladesX1").Form ula =
"=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(($C8&""_""&D$1&""_""&D$4),Master Namefile!$B:$S,14,FALSE)),
"""",VLOOKUP(($C8&""_""&D$1&""_""&D$4),MasterNamef ile!$B:$S,14,FALSE))"

It's all one line, the word-wrap is playing it here.........
The MasterNamefile sheet is a database of some 15,000 lines. The
FieldBladesX1 contains some 1000+ cells. I know it's doing a lot of work,
and it does exactly as it's supposed to, but is there any way to speed it up
any?

TIA

Hi Chuck

Maybe

"=IF(COUNTIF(MasterNamefile!$B:$B,$C8&""_""&D$1&"" _""&D$4),
VLOOKUP(($C8&""_""&D$1&""_""&D$4),MasterNamefile!$ B:$S,14,FALSE), """")"

Hi Chuck

Glad to have been of service.
Compensates just a little for all that I have gained from your postings
over the past few years!!

Yes Sireeee Roger.....YOU 'DA MAN!!!!........I just got to work and
tried
your solution on my computer here and it worked perfectly. My old
version of
the macro took about 2 minutes to run that particular one, and your
improvement cut that to 44 seconds. A significant benefit,
considering I
have over 40 of these things to run.

Many, many Thank you's.....
