Very slow removing command buttons and rows from sheet - performance

This sub removes all command buttons and their associated rows that were created programmatically on a sheet. It takes around 20 seconds to remove 60 command buttons and rows. I've stepped through it and can find no problems with it.
Sub ResetForm_Click()
Dim Contr
Dim controlname As String
Dim WS As Worksheet
Set WS = ActiveSheet
For Each Contr In WS.OLEObjects
controlname = Mid(Contr.Name, 1, 2)
If controlname = "CB" Then
Contr.TopLeftCell.Rows.EntireRow.Delete
Contr.Delete
End If
Next
End Sub

Instead of deleting rows one-by-one try something like this (untested):
Sub ResetForm_Click()
Dim Contr
Dim controlname As String
Dim WS As Worksheet, rDel As Range
Set WS = ActiveSheet
For Each Contr In WS.OLEObjects
controlname = Mid(Contr.Name, 1, 2)
If controlname = "CB" Then
If rDel Is Nothing then
Set rDel = Contr.TopLeftCell
Else
Set rDel = Application.Union(rDel, Contr.TopLeftCell)
End If
Contr.Delete
End If
Next
If Not rDel Is Nothing then rDel.EntireRow.Delete
End Sub

Without editing your macro too much, turn off screen updating and autocalculation, see if that helps.
At the beginning of your macro (I usually put it after my declarations), add
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Then at the end (before End Sub), turn them back on
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

combining functionality of csv to Excel and deleting row where #N/A

I want to combine the functionalities of two codes. My first code is converting a csv file to an excel file and saving it with a different name.
I want to add a functionality of deleting the entire row in a file where column A is #N/A. There may be a small thing to fix it but I am not able to work
it out because I am not good at it.
file = "C:\PR\TEST\Sizetest.csv"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
txt = fso.OpenTextFile(file).ReadAll
fso.OpenTextFile(file, 2).Write Replace(Replace(txt, "¬", vbTab), Chr(34), "")
'Set obj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 'Calls the File System Object
Const xlDelimited = 1
Const xlNormal = -4143
Dim Excel
Set Excel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With Excel
.Workbooks.Open "C:\PR\TEST\Sizetest.csv"
.Sheets(1).Columns("A").TextToColumns .Range("A1"), xlDelimited, , , , True 'semicolon-delimited
.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs .ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Size_test1", xlNormal
.Quit
' fso.DeleteFile("C:\PR\TEST\Sizetest.csv") 'Deletes the file throught the DeleteFile function
End With
This is the second code. This should delete entire row whereever there is #N/A in column A. I want the record to be deleted either before the file is
converted to Excel or after it is converted to Excel so it does not matter at what point it should convert it.
I got the following code by searching in the Google but due to not being good at VB script, I am not able to combine them two files. I tried different ways but I am getting one error or another.

How can run the following code on multiple Excel sheets?

I have a code which I would like to use on multiple sheets, except one sheet. But applying the code to alle sheets is also fine.
Here is the code that I would like to adjust. I am have currently applied it to Excel 2011 in OS X , but I would like to use it for Excel 2010 in Windows.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
Dim the_selection As String
Dim month_in_review As String
the_selection = Sheet1.Range("A1")
Dim Rep As Integer
For Rep = 2 To 379
the_column = GetColumnLetter_ByInteger(Rep)
month_in_review = Sheet1.Range(the_column & "1")
If the_selection = month_in_review Then
Sheet1.Range(the_column & ":" & the_column).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Else
Sheet1.Range(the_column & ":" & the_column).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
Next Rep
End If
End Sub
In the module I have the following code:
Public Function GetColumnLetter_ByInteger(what_number As Integer) As String
GetColumnLetter_ByInteger = ""
MyColumn_Integer = what_number
If MyColumn_Ineger <= 26 Then
column_letter = ChrW(64 + MyColumn_Integer)
End If
If MyColumn_Integer > 26 Then
column_letter = ChrW(Int((MyColumn_Integer - 1) / 26) + 64) & ChrW(((MyColumn_Integer - 1) Mod 26) + 65)
End If
GetColumnLetter_ByInteger = column_letter
End Function
If you're asking for one sheet to detect the change in cell "A1" and then to hide/unhide columns on multiple sheets then the prior answers to your question will serve you nicely.
If, on the other hand, you're asking to detect a change in cell "A1" on any sheet and then to hide/unhide columns on just the changed sheet, then the code below will work for you. It accesses the Workbook_SheetChanged event at Workbook level.
A few points about your code:
You can reference cells using their integer or address values with the .Cell property, so Sheet1.Cells(1, 1) is the same as Sheet1.Cells(1, "A"). The same applies to the .Columns property. So there's no real need to convert your integer values to a string. See #Florent B's answer for a good example of this.
Wherever possible, minimise looping sheet interactions as these are very time-consuming. So rather than loop through the columns and hide/unhide each one individually, you could assign them to ranges within your loop and then hide/unhide the ranges all in one go at the end of your loop. If you must interact with the sheet on each iteration of your loop, then set the Application.ScreenUpdating property to false before the start of your loop. There's an example of this property in the sample code below.
Put this in your Workbook module:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Const TARGET_ADDRESS As String = "A1"
Dim cell As Range
Dim hiddenCols As Range
Dim unhiddenCols As Range
Dim selectedMonth As String
Dim monthInReview As String
Dim c As Integer
'Ignore event if not a target worksheet
If Sh.Name = "Not Wanted" Then Exit Sub
'Ignore event if not in target range
Set cell = Target.Cells(1)
If cell.Address(False, False) <> TARGET_ADDRESS Then Exit Sub
'Criteria met, so handle event
selectedMonth = CStr(cell.Value)
For c = 2 To 379
Set cell = Sh.Cells(1, c)
monthInReview = CStr(cell.Value)
'Add cell to hidden or unhidden ranges
If monthInReview = selectedMonth Then
If unhiddenCols Is Nothing Then
Set unhiddenCols = cell
Else
Set unhiddenCols = Union(unhiddenCols, cell)
End If
Else
If hiddenCols Is Nothing Then
Set hiddenCols = cell
Else
Set hiddenCols = Union(hiddenCols, cell)
End If
End If
Next
'Hide and unhide the cells
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'not really needed here but given as example
If Not unhiddenCols Is Nothing Then
unhiddenCols.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
If Not hiddenCols Is Nothing Then
hiddenCols.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
You can use a for each loop to loop through all the Worksheets, and check the worksheet name if it should be skipped. Then apply your code onto the sheet selected.
Something like:
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Skip Sheet" Then
Dim the_selection As String
Dim month_in_review As String
the_selection = ws.Range("A1")
Dim Rep As Integer
For Rep = 2 To 379
the_column = GetColumnLetter_ByInteger(Rep)
month_in_review = ws.Range(the_column & "1")
If the_selection = month_in_review Then
ws.Range(the_column & ":" & the_column).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Else
ws.Range(the_column & ":" & the_column).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
Next Rep
End If
Next ws
End If
End Sub
I wasn't entirely sure what you wished to achieve, so i put ws in the place of Sheet1.
This example will show/hide the columns in all the other sheets if the first cell of the column match/differ with the cell A1 of the sheet where this code is placed:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' exit if not cell A1
If Target.row <> 1 Or Target.column <> 1 Then Exit Sub
Dim sheet As Worksheet
Dim the_selection As String
Dim month_in_review As String
Dim column As Integer
the_selection = Target.Value
' iterate all the sheets
For Each sheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
' skip this sheet
If Not sheet Is Me Then
' iterate the columns
For column = 2 To 379
' get the first cell of the column
month_in_review = sheet.Cells(1, column).Value
' hide or show the column if it's a match or not
sheet.Columns(column).Hidden = month_in_review <> the_selection
Next
End If
Next
End Sub

Making the copy paste process run faster

I am using this code to copy some data from x workbook to y workbook. Size of x workbook is 13 MB and the Y is 23.5 MB. Copying the data from x and pasting it to y takes a lot of time. Is there anyway I can make this process run faster? I am using the code above. Thanks
According to http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/SpeedingUpVBACode.htm , the following may make your code faster (it bypasses the clipboard and copies the values directly):

Set r2 = x.Sheets("Modified").Range("A70:DM100")
r2.Value = r1.Value '<<<<<<<<< this is the line that does the magic

VBA : Find function code

I am trying to do vlookup through the find function in vba. I have a list of numbers in loan sheet and property sheet and If the number is found in the loan sheet then it copies the entire row and pastes it in another sheet called query. This is the code I have currently but the code just hangs as I have too many cells to find around 100,000. Any guidance in any errors in the code would be really helpful.
Option Explicit

Running Find() many times in a loop can be very slow - I usually create a lookup using a Dictionary: typically thus is much faster and makes the loop easier to code.

There are many things that needs to be re-written
A) Variables inside the quotes become a string. For example "rFound:rFound" Also you do not need to specify Worksheets("Loan"). before it. It is understood.
You can simply write it as rFound.Select
B) Avoid the Use of .Select It slows down the code. You might want to see this LINK. For example
Worksheets("Loan").Range("rFound:rFound").Select
Selection.Copy
Worksheets("Query").Range("Cel:Cel").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
The above can be written as
rFound.Copy Cel
Work with Variables/Objects. Try and ignore the use of On Error Resume Next and unnecessary GO TOs if possible.
Try this (UNTESTED)
Option Explicit
Sub FindCopy_lall()
Dim calc As Long, LrowWsI As Long, LrowWsO As Long
Dim Cel As Range, rFound As Range, LookRange As Range
Dim wsI As Worksheet, wsO As Worksheet
calc = Application.Calculation

LrowWsO = wsO.Range("D" & wsI.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set LookRange = wsI.Range("E2:E" & LrowWsI)
For Each Cel In LookRange
Set rFound = wsO.Range("D2:D" & LrowWsO).Find(What:=Cel.Value, _
LookIn:=xlValues, Lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False)
If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
'~~> You original code was overwriting the cel
'~~> I am writing next to it. Chnage as applicable
rFound.Copy Cel.Offset(, 1)
End If
Next Cel
With Application

Besides the possible bugs the two big performance issues are
doing an Excel .Find.. inside your loop over all your source rows, which as has already been noted, is very slow. And
actually cutting and pasting a lot of rows is also pretty slow. If you only care about the values, then you can use range-array data copies instead which are very fast.
This is how I would do it, which should be very fast:
Option Explicit
Option Compare Text

Dim LastRow As Long, LastRow2 As Long, r As Long, sr As Long
Dim LookRange As Range, FindRange As Range, rng As Range

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim wsQury As Worksheet: Set wsQury = Worksheets("Query")
'Get Last row of Property SheetColumn
LastRow = wsProp.Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
LastRow2 = wsLoan.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row

LastLoanCol = LastLoanCell.Column
' Set range to look in; And get it's data

Dim Look() As Variant: ReDim Look(2 To LastRow, 1 To 1)
Look = LookRange

As others have noted, we cannot tell from your code where the output rows are actually supposed to go on the Query sheet, so I made a guess, but you made need to change that.

How to add events to Controls created at runtime in Excel with VBA

I would like to add a Control and an associated event at runtime in Excel using VBA but I don't know how to add the events.
I tried the code below and the Button is correctly created in my userform but the associated click event that should display the hello message is not working.
Any advice/correction would be welcome.
Dim Butn As CommandButton
Set Butn = UserForm1.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
With Butn
.Name = "CommandButton1"
.Caption = "Click me to get the Hello Message"
.Width = 100
.Top = 10
End With
With ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1.CommandButton1").CodeModule
Line = .CountOfLines
.InsertLines Line + 1, "Sub CommandButton1_Click()"
.InsertLines Line + 2, "MsgBox ""Hello!"""
.InsertLines Line + 3, "End Sub"
End With
UserForm1.Show
The code for adding a button at runtime and then to add events is truly as simple as it is difficult to find out. I can say that because I have spent more time on this perplexity and got irritated more than in anything else I ever programmed.
Create a Userform and put in the following code:
Option Explicit
Dim ButArray() As New Class2
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim ctlbut As MSForms.CommandButton
Dim butTop As Long, i As Long
'~~> Decide on the .Top for the 1st TextBox
butTop = 30
For i = 1 To 10
Set ctlbut = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1", "butTest" & i)
'~~> Define the TextBox .Top and the .Left property here
ctlbut.Top = butTop: ctlbut.Left = 50
ctlbut.Caption = Cells(i, 7).Value
'~~> Increment the .Top for the next TextBox
butTop = butTop + 20
ReDim Preserve ButArray(1 To i)
Set ButArray(i).butEvents = ctlbut
Next
End Sub
Now you need to add a Class Module to your code for the project. Please remember it's class module, not Standard Module.
The Object butEvents is the button that was clicked.
Put in the following simple code (in my case the class name is Class2).
Public WithEvents butEvents As MSForms.CommandButton
Private Sub butEvents_click()
MsgBox "Hi Shrey from " & butEvents.Caption
End Sub
That's it. Now run it!
Try this:
Sub AddButtonAndShow()
Dim Butn As CommandButton
Dim Line As Long
Dim objForm As Object
Set objForm = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1")
Set Butn = objForm.Designer.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
With Butn
.Name = "CommandButton1"
.Caption = "Click me to get the Hello Message"
.Width = 100
.Top = 10
End With
With objForm.CodeModule
Line = .CountOfLines
.InsertLines Line + 1, "Sub CommandButton1_Click()"
.InsertLines Line + 2, "MsgBox ""Hello!"""
.InsertLines Line + 3, "End Sub"
End With
VBA.UserForms.Add(objForm.Name).Show
End Sub
This permanently modifies UserForm1 (assuming you save your workbook). If you wanted a temporary userform, then add a new userform instead of setting it to UserForm1. You can then delete the form once you're done with it.
Chip Pearson has some great info about coding the VBE.
DaveShaw, thx for this code man!
I have used it for a togglebutton array (put a 'thumbnail-size' picture called trainer.jpg in the same folder as the excel file for a togglebutton with a picture in it). In the 'click' event the invoker is also available (by the object name as a string)
In the form:
Dim CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray() As New ToggleButtonClass
Private Sub CreateTrainerToggleButton(top As Integer, id As Integer)
Dim pathToPicture As String
pathToPicture = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\trainer.jpg"
Dim idString As String
idString = "TrainerToggleButton" & id
Dim cCont As MSForms.ToggleButton
Set cCont = Me.Controls.Add _
("Forms.ToggleButton.1")
With cCont
.Name = idString
.Width = 20
.Height = 20
.Left = 6
.top = top
.picture = LoadPicture(pathToPicture)
End With
ReDim Preserve CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray(1 To id)
Set CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray(id).ToggleButtonEvents = cCont
CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray(id).ObjectName = idString
End Sub
and a class "ToggleButtonClass"
Public WithEvents ToggleButtonEvents As MSForms.ToggleButton
Public ObjectName As String
Private Sub ToggleButtonEvents_click()
MsgBox "DaveShaw is the man... <3 from your friend: " & ObjectName
End Sub
Now just simple call from UserForm_Initialize
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim index As Integer
For index = 1 To 10
Call CreateTrainerToggleButton(100 + (25 * index), index)
Next index
End Sub
This was my solution to add a commandbutton and code without using classes
It adds a reference to allow access to vbide
Adds the button
Then writes a function to handle the click event in the worksheet
Sub AddButton()
Call addref
Set rng = DestSh.Range("B" & x + 3)
'Set btn = DestSh.Buttons.Add(rng.Left, rng.Top, rng.Width, rng.Height)
Set myButton = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Left:=rng.Left, Top:=rng.Top, Height:=rng.Height * 3, Width:=rng.Width * 3)
DoEvents
With myButton
'.Placement = XlPlacement.xlFreeFloating
.Object.Caption = "Export"
.Name = "BtnExport"
.Object.PicturePosition = 1
.Object.Font.Size = 14
End With
Stop
myButton.Object.Picture = LoadPicture("F:\Finalised reports\Templates\Macros\evolution48.bmp")
Call CreateButtonEvent
End Sub
Sub addref()

An easy way to do it:
1 - Insert a class module and write this code:
Public WithEvents ChkEvents As MSForms.CommandButton
Private Sub ChkEvents_click()
MsgBox ("Click Event")
End Sub
2 - Insert a userform and write this code:
Dim Chk As New Clase1
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim NewCheck As MSForms.CommandButton
Set NewCheck = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
NewCheck.Caption = "Prueba"
Set Chk.ChkEvents = NewCheck
End Sub
Now show the form and click the button
I think the code needs to be added to the Userform, not to the button itself.
So something like
With UserForm1.CodeModule
'Insert code here
End With
In place of your With ThisWorkbook
