Optimise Excel VBA Loop

I suspect this line may be the problem:

   .Offset(0, 16).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(team_code, Sheets("Matrix Raw").Range("R:S"), 2, False)

Try commenting it out and running a test.

Kevin

Thanks Kevin,

  That was in fact my first thought too.  No perceptable improvement when I did that unfortunately.

Quite possibly I need to think of a way without looping at all

Do you have any event handlers such as Worksheet_Change?

If so then try adding:

   Application.EnableEvents = False
   ...
   Application.EnableEvents = True

Kevin

   

  Again great thinking, but no, I have no events running.  There are two dynamic queries that run before this Macro, but I have turned them off and am simply running this Macro in isolation on just data.

That could do the trick Dave,

  I'll give it a shot and do some rewrites.  Thanks - will keep you up to date

My code in the create CSV article is may be a better reference for array manipulation - it shows how to transpose columns and rows

@Kevin,

I've fixed my blackberry. Still at Hilton but I'm free till 8 (aussie / new zealand catchup) if you are around somewhere / thinking dinner etc

Cheers

What's the purpose of your error handler?

Is it a problem with a specific row/value?

What is the error you are trying to catch?

As it is the code looks like the error handler code will be executed whatever the error is.

Oh, and what's the code actually meant to do?:)

I keep forgetting you are Aussie...

I am in Brisbane

The error Handler can be turned off, it basically sets a value for if the match is not found.  

The plan for the error handler is to push out trash data into a separate sheet.

It will also only fire for that one line and I am comfortable for every error in that section to be piped elsewhere.

The code simply loops through some data and looks for a match in the "Username" in a different data set.  - It then pulls data from the relevant sheet for the information it is after.

I only picked that up 10 mins ago when I saw the Queensland timezone on your question. i hope you came the flooding unscathed.

Today though I'm in not so sunny Seattle, bit of a shock compared to Melbourne

  I was all good in the floods.  My workplace was evacuated, but I basically work from my laptop through a wireless connection anyway, so I evacuated early and worked from my balcony watching the chaos

Sorry but I don't see how that error handling will only be triggered by an error in a specific row or a specific type of error.

If you know when the error will happen why even use an error handler, couldn't it be dealt with a simple If.

On Error GoTo Errorhandler 
            If Cell.Value <> Prevvalue Then 
                matrixrow = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Trim(Cell.Value), Sheets("Matrix Raw").Range("M1:M999"), 0) 
            End If 
            Prevvalue = Cell.Value 
        On Error GoTo 0 

Select allOpen in new window

 On error Goto 0 will actually turn normal error handling back on.  So my Error Handler only happens on the lines of code above.  The performance detriment for that line is almost non existant.

 I know the error will appear here if it cannot fid a match.  Normally I would use VBA find, but it does not work in this instance due to differing character types.  

One thing I do when I have a lot of spreadsheet lookup, references, and math going on, is to paste the FORMULA (rather than value) on the first line, then one command copies that formula down a # of rows, and the last step to convert all formulas to values.  It would be a quick thing to test and see if this helps before wrapping your head around a completely different approach (which may be the correct way, but I'm just saying :)

So you could Turn Calculations OFF, and do something like the below for all rows, or leave Calculations ON and do it for one row, copy down, then set formulas to values:            

            .Offset(0, 0).Formula = "='Matrix Raw'!C" & Matrixrow
            .Offset(0, 1).Formula = "='Matrix Raw'!L" & Matrixrow
            .Offset(0, 2).Formula = "='Matrix Raw'!K" & Matrixrow
            .Offset(0, 3).Formula = "='Matrix Raw'!M" & Matrixrow

Since Cell is a vlookup output, you could code that formula in as well.  You could do this for one row of output, then copy down the entire range.  Alternatively (may or may not be a timesaver) you could plow all the formulas in with calculations off, then...

Then turn calculation on, select your output range and set selection.value = selection.value

One very quick way to test is to manually set the formulas in the range of cells, turn calc off, then copy down, then turn calc on.  Did that process much faster or not?
Enjoy!

Ignore the attached code in my prior post.  I was going to do something with it, then decided on a simple example.  Sorry for any confusion.

Dave

Hi Dave,

  I am in the middle of coding a multidimensional array method.  Appears to be quite good so far, just looking for a way to find a match in the array - assuming use of filter at the moment.

  I like it so far

Makrini

Great - go for it!

Dave

So far I have below.   Now to create an array to put the data into, instead of directly to sheet.

So far it appears a lot faster - the next step should show significant improvement

Sub Array_test()
    Dim Genesys_Data(), Matrix_Data(), MatrixList()
    
    Lastrow = Sheets("Genesys Raw").Range("C1000000").End(xlUp).Row

    Genesys_Data = Genesys_region.Value2
    MatrixList = Sheets("Matrix Raw").Range("M1:M999").Value
    Matrix_Data = Sheets("Matrix Raw").Range("C1:M999").Value2
    
    For lngrow = 1 To Genesys_region.Rows.Count
    thevalue = Trim(Genesys_Data(lngrow, 1))
    If thevalue <> oldvalue Then
        On Error Resume Next
        matrixrow = WorksheetFunction.Match(thevalue, MatrixList, 0)
        On Error GoTo 0
        oldvalue = thevalue
    End If
    If matrixrow > 0 Then
        team_code = Sheets("Matrix Raw").Range("I" & matrixrow).Value
        With Sheets("Converted Data").Range("C" & (i + 4))
            .Offset(0, 0).Value = Matrix_Data(matrixrow, 1)
            .Offset(0, 1).Value = Matrix_Data(matrixrow, 10)
            .Offset(0, 2).Value = Matrix_Data(matrixrow, 9)
            .Offset(0, 3).Value = Matrix_Data(matrixrow, 11)
            .Offset(0, 4).Value = thevalue
            .Offset(0, 6).Value = Matrix_Data(matrixrow, 4)
            .Offset(0, 7).Value = Genesys_Data(lngrow, 2)
            .Offset(0, 8).Value = UCase(Genesys_Data(lngrow, 2))
            .Offset(0, 9).Value = Genesys_Data(lngrow, 3)
            .Offset(0, 10).Value = Genesys_Data(lngrow, 2) + Genesys_Data(lngrow, 4)
            .Offset(0, 11).Value = Genesys_Data(lngrow, 2) + Genesys_Data(lngrow, 5)
            .Offset(0, 12).Value = Genesys_Data(lngrow, 6) * 24 * 60
            '.Offset(0, 15).Value = team_code
            '.Offset(0, 16).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(team_code, Sheets("Matrix Raw").Range("R:S"), 2, False)
        End With
        i = i + 1
    Else
        ' No match
    End If

    Next
    
End Sub

Perhaps also try to Turn calculations off (assuming you're just pasting values)...

Ok - so how do I get it *out* of the array?

Last couple of rows - trying to output the array output_data

Never mind - I'm an idiot - put a "_" in the sheet name is all


Thank you so very much for your help - this is like 1000 times faster!

Superb and I learned a LOT

Glad to have helped :)

Dave

This was a really neat exercise.  Thanks Dave, as always for the lesson!

the "other" Dave :)

:)

and thx both for the article votes

You deserve it.  I am always impressed by the likes of you and rorya etc

Agreed - very enlightening article - can't wait to turn your tips into real practice/knowledge.
