Make sure you enable them again at the end. Application.EnableEvents = Falseīe aware that if you created macros that run on these events, and you disable Excel events they will not execute. Now these also take up resources, so can be disabled with the line below. And when a value on a worksheet is changed, the WorksheetChange event is triggered. For example, when you close a workbook, the BeforeClose event is triggered. This setting is one you may need to consider a little more, and it is to disable Events.Īs you use Excel, various events are triggered. Application.DisplayStatusBar = True Prevent Excel Events from Running Application.DisplayStatusBar = FalseĪnd then enable them again at the end of the macro. But Excel is constantly updating this to provide totals, counts, filtered records, zoom level and other useful information.ĭuring a macro though, we do not need it updated and it is taking up resources. Updates to the Status Bar is something most users will not think about, or even notice. Application.ScreenUpdating = True Disable Status Bar Updates Make sure you switch it back on at the end of the macro. We can turn this off in a similar way to the previous technique. However during the macro we do not need this. Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic Stop the Screen UpdatingĪnother very common setting to switch off whilst the macro runs is screen updating.Īs the macro runs Excel is constantly updating the screen to show what is happening. Excel will immediately recalculate the entire sheet at this point. Then at or near the end of the macro, they would be switched back to automatic. Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Meaning they will not recalculate as values are changed. So it does not need to recalculate until then.īy typing the line below somewhere near the start of the macro code, this will switch Excel calculations to manual. This behaviour is normally unnecessary, as we only need to see the effect the macro has had when it has finished executing. Obviously such actions can slow down your macros, especially if you have many formulas. Whenever a cell being used by a formula is changed, Excel recalculates the entire worksheet.
