How to speed up filters in Excel 2010?

Hello - kindly refer to the attached doc. Is it possible to improve speed of Macro/filter?

1. Data Tab - when click "all" button, takes too long.
2. When move to CPS Tab - looks like a macro is running taking too long
3. CPS Tab - when click on any of the macros along the top - they all take too long (especially "all" and "GBP"
4. Is it possible to have "GBP" macro work properly without having to click "all" first.

Let me know if you are able to help,
Regards,
AD

not a solutions as such but i put some timer output into the ALL code and it reported 1.9 seconds for the test data.

of this, 0.2 sec (ie 10%) was used to clear the filter on the second line.

and 1.3 sec ( 68%) was taken to copy all the formula to a "safe" area.

so it is all the sparse range copy that is taking the time....

 Debug.Print 8, Timer
 
 
 Range("I1,K1,M1,O1,Q1,S1,U1,W1,Y1,AA1,AC1,AE1,AG1,AI1,AK1,AM1,AO1,AQ1,AS1,AU1,AW1,AY1,BA1,BC1,BE1,BG1,BI1,BK1,BM1,BO1,BQ1,BS1,BU1,BW1,BY1").Select
 Range("BY1").Activate
 ActiveSheet.Paste
  Debug.Print 9, Timer

Open in new window

and i dont understand why you copy to those particular output ranges.

aikimark

Part of the problem might be that your copy range overlaps with your target range (BY1 in both ranges)

Removing the BY1 from the source range, I change it from a copy/paste operation to an immediate transfer. It happens pretty quickly (0.001953125 seconds on my laptop).

Sub timeit()
    Dim sngStart As Single
    sngStart = Timer
    Range("I1,K1,M1,O1,Q1,S1,U1,W1,Y1,AA1,AC1,AE1,AG1,AI1,AK1,AM1,AO1,AQ1,AS1,AU1,AW1,AY1,BA1,BC1,BE1,BG1,BI1,BK1,BM1,BO1,BQ1,BS1,BU1,BW1").Copy Range("BY1")
    Debug.Print "Elapsed time: " & Timer - sngStart
End Sub

don't use the clipboard.
avoid unnecessary select and activate

Thank you for your response. Is it possible to update the macros to fix speed issue directly in the file so I can test.

aikimark

sure, you can. Press Alt+F11 to get into the VB editor.

@robr

What performance improvements are you seeing now?

Robberbaron (robr)

in the version i uploaded, very little !!
but when i started again with the original file with just your modification to not overlap the copy/paste zones..

V2-trial2
 1             42417.65 
 3             42417.84 
 4             42417.84 
 5             42417.93 
 7             42417.94 
 8             42417.94 
 9             42417.95 
 10            42417.97 
 11            42417.98 
 12            42418 
 13            42418 
 14            42418.1

Open in new window

so the whole process takes 0.45sec, with the copy paste (8-12) taking 0.05sec

Thank you for everyone's efforts but looks like still very slow when click on CPS tab. Also when click on macros in CPS also takes too long. Anyway we can modify VBA to help speed up?

Robberbaron (robr)

find out where it is slow. the changes Akimark proposed makes a significant difference.

but how 'slow' does it matter really ?

aikimark

it is a BIG workbook, being used much like a database.

I suspect there are some calculations that are at the heart of your performance problem. You might want to disable automatic calculations and see what effect that has on performance.

Adriana de Gregorio

ASKER

the data tab looks good. It is the CPS Tab: each time I move from data tab to CPS tab it takes 45-60sec waiting to refresh. And the "all" Macro in the CPS tab also takes quite a bit of time.

Another issue is that this workbook has a very large number of unused styles (15,509 by my count in the XML data). Removing them shrinks the workbook down from 2,645KB to 1,887KB and speeds up processing noticeably.

I've updated the sample workbook with no other changes just so you can test performance. There's still some lag that I would not expect from a workbook this size.

How tight are the usedranges for each worksheet?
