Experts,

I am running my macro and its taking almost 5 minutes during execution
on my computer (2GB RAM). Is there any way by which I can reduce this
execution time? Here is the code...

With wbSource.Worksheets("Flowdate")
For j = 24 To 36 Step 4
row_price = 2315

For i = 0 To 364
peak_price = .Cells(row_price, j).Value
If peak_price = "" Then
Worksheets("Flowdate").Cells(row_price, j).Value =
Worksheets("Flowdate").Cells(row_price, j).Offset(0, 2).Value
End If

offpeak_price = .Cells(row_price, j + 1).Value
If offpeak_price = "" Then
Worksheets("Flowdate").Cells(row_price, j + 1).Value =
Worksheets("Flowdate").Cells(row_price, j + 1).Offset(0, 2).Value
End If
row_price = row_price + 1
Next
MsgBox "Calculation done"
Next
End With

This might be quicker

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

With wbSource.Worksheets("Flowdate")
For j = 24 To 36 Step 4
row_price = 2315

For i = 0 To 364
peak_price = .Cells(row_price, j).Value
If peak_price = "" Then
.Cells(row_price, j).Value = _
.Cells(row_price, j).Offset(0, 2).Value
End If

offpeak_price = .Cells(row_price, j + 1).Value
If offpeak_price = "" Then
.Cells(row_price, j + 1).Value = _
.Cells(row_price, j + 1).Offset(0, 2).Value
End If
row_price = row_price + 1
Next
MsgBox "Calculation done"
Next
End With

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

Bob,

Your 4 lines reduced my code's execution time to 15 seconds... Its
amazinng!!! I looked into "Help" to understand the usage of these
commands. The excel files I am handelling are of huge sizes and
frequent changes in the screen was increasing the execution time.
Both screenupdating and calculcation worked great for me. Probably I
need to add these in all my relevant macros. :)

Thanks buddy,
Cheers,
Har****

Is there a lot of calculation going on with these results? The code you
posted should be near instant, but if calculations go off of this new data it
will take a while, you can try turning calculation of before running and
turning it back on at the end of the code, that should fix.

I notice that you use "With wbSource.Worksheets("Flowdate")" yet you still
define your ranges using Worksheets("Flowdate"). You could remove those
references to clean the code up a little.

After looking at your code, I would guess that the formulas on your
worksheet are causing this macro to run a long time. Since you could be
changing values up to 2184 times given the looping in your code,
recalculation can really slow you down.

Try wrapping your code with this:

Application.Calculation = xlManual
' your code here...
Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic

This will cause your macro to make its changes and NOT recalculate until it
is done. Also, consider reviewing your functions to make sure they are
optimized.

That looks simple enough. Perhaps turning off calculation if you have a lot
of formulas

lcalc = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlManual
With wbSource.Worksheets("Flowdate")
For j = 24 To 36 Step 4
row_price = 2315

For i = 0 To 364
peak_price = .Cells(row_price, j).Value
If peak_price = "" Then
Worksheets("Flowdate").Cells(row_price, j).Value =
Worksheets("Flowdate").Cells(row_price, j).Offset(0, 2).Value
End If

offpeak_price = .Cells(row_price, j + 1).Value
If offpeak_price = "" Then
Worksheets("Flowdate").Cells(row_price, j + 1).Value =
Worksheets("Flowdate").Cells(row_price, j + 1).Offset(0, 2).Value
End If
row_price = row_price + 1
Next
Next
MsgBox "Calculation done"
Application.Calculation = lcalc
End With

This assumes you don't need to recalculate the sheet on each
iteration/change made by your code.

One other thought/possibility:

With wbSource.Worksheets("Flowdate")
.DisplayPageBreaks = False
