Excel will default save it to your add-ins directory.

Screen Updating = True End Sub Activating another worksheet and then again activating the required worksheet worked for me - I had a code where the screen updating failed, I activated another worksheet and then again the one I was working on, it updated the current screen. Screen Updating = False ''''''code''''''' Thisworkbook.worksheets(any otherworksheet in workbook).activate Thisworkbook.worksheets(current worksheet).activate application.

Long-running, high-end Excel-based applications that I developed years ago and that run beautifully in Excel 20 look like Amateur Hour in Excel 20 because Application. The screen unfreezes apparently when VBA code copies a preformatted worksheet from the macro workbook into a new workbook, although other circumstances must trigger it as well.

Whenever you have a task to automate, you can usually go down the VBA route. Maybe later you add some features here-and-there, making your VBA code more powerful. Color = vb White End If i = i 1 Next cell ' offset i to alternate column coloring i = i 1 Next repeat Msg Box "Total time was: " & (Timer - start Time) End Sub Before moving on, let’s get a better understanding of why this is taking so long. Color = vb White End If i = i 1 Next cell ' offset i to alternate column coloring i = i 1 Next repeat Msg Box "Total time was: " & (Timer - start Time) Application.
