formula or vba code
Hello,
I'm having a little problem, recently I wrote a formula for excel which is too long so I have to decide between trying to find away too shorten that formula (i'm not sure if it's possible) or written some of the formula code in vba ? However, I read in different website that If I wrote some code in vba it will not be as efficient as a formula. What should I do ? Shorten the formula or Vba code ? PS : My data are consentenly updated because they are exchange rates (almost every second) Thank you all in advance. Nader |

Post a copy of your formula here, so that we can see if it can be
shortened - if you use long sheet names these can always be shortened.

formula or vba code
Normally with long formulae, you can break them down by putting one part in
a separate cell and getting an interim result, and use that interim result within the next part. This can be done very effectively to get to the final result. For instance, B1: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,M1:P10,2,False)),"",VLOOKUP(A1 ,M1:P10,2,False)) Change this to B1: =IF(ISNA(C1),"",C1) C1: =VLOOKUP(A1,M1:P10,2,False) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Nader" wrote in message ...

I can't break the formula.

that's my formula :
=IF($A9<L$1;IF(OR(NOT(ISNA(MATCH(L$1;LEGACY_CURRE NCY;0)));NOT(ISNA(MATCH($A9;LEGACY_CURRENCY;0)))); IF(OR(L$1="EUR";$A9="EUR");IF(NOT(ISNA(MATCH(L$1;L EGACY_CURRENCY;0))); VLOOKUP(L$1;EU_CURRENCY;2;FALSE); 1/VLOOKUP(L$1;EU_CURRENCY;2;FALSE)); IF(NOT(ISNA(MATCH(L$1;LEGACY_CURRENCY;0)));VLOOKUP (L$1;EU_CURRENCY;2;FALSE);IF(ISNUMBER(BLP(CONCATEN ATE("EUR";L$1;" Curncy");"PX_LAST"));BLP(CONCATENATE("EUR";L$1;" Curncy");"PX_LAST"); BLP(CONCATENATE("USD";L$1;" Curncy");"PX_LAST") )) /IF(NOT(ISNA(MATCH($A9;LEGACY_CURRENCY;0)));IF(ISNU MBER(BLP(CONCATENATE("EUR";L$1;" Curncy");"PX_LAST"));VLOOKUP($A9;EU_CURRENCY;2;FAL SE); VLOOKUP($A9;EU_CURRENCY;2;FALSE) / BLP("EURUSD Curncy";"PX_LAST") ); IF(ISNUMBER(BLP(CONCATENATE("EUR";$A9;" Curncy");"PX_LAST"));BLP(CONCATENATE("EUR";$A9;" Curncy");"PX_LAST");BLP(CONCATENATE("USD";$A9;" Curncy");"PX_LAST"))) );IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(BLP(CONCATENATE($A9;L$1;" Curncy");"PX_LAST")));BLP(CONCATENATE(L$1;" Curncy");"PX_LAST")/BLP(CONCATENATE($A9;" Curncy");"PX_LAST");BLP(CONCATENATE($A9;L$1;" Curncy");"PX_LAST")));1) PS : BLP is a bloomberg function which return an exchange rate !

I've seen your formula, and you could easily.

formula or vba code
An obvious way of shortening the formula is to get rid of all the
CONCATENATE( ) functions and replace them with the operator &. For example, your last use of this: CONCATENATE($A9;L$1;" Curncy") can be written as: $A9&L$1&" Curncy" which saves about 13 characters each time you have used it. Do you want to just try this throughout your formula to see if that makes it short enough? You do have some long names for the lookup tables which could also be shortened, eg LEGACY_CURRENCY and EU_CURRENCY. Also, you have "PX_LAST" appearing many times, and you could replace this with a named cell with a shorter name - the same applies to the string " Curncy". Hope this helps.
