When executing a stored procedure in SQL Server it takes < 30 seconds.

When executing this stored procedure twice separately via 2 separate VBA buttons, once for MTD and once for YTD, separately, it takes ~45 seconds. This is acceptable. This is done via below code:

VBA Code:
Sub GetMonthlyData()

Call GetSQLData(Monthly)

End Sub



Sub GetYearlyData()

Call GetSQLData(Yearly)

End Sub



Sub GetSQLData()

    With Sheets(OutPutSheet).ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, _

    Source:=Array("OLEDB;Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" _

    , "Password= " & Password & " ;" _

    , "Persist Security Info=True;" _

    , "User ID= " & UserId & ";" _

    , "Data Source= " & Server & " ;" _

    , "Use Procedure for Prepare=0;" _

    , "Auto Translate=True;" _

    , "Packet Size=4096;" _

    , "Use Encryption for Data=False;" _

    , "Tag with column collation when possible=False;" _

    , "Initial Catalog= " & Database & " "), _

     Destination:=Worksheets(OutPutSheet).Range("$A$1")).QueryTable

    .CommandType = xlCmdSql

    .CommandText = SQLCommandString

    .ListObject.DisplayName = OutPutSheet & "DataDump"

    .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

    End With

End Sub

However, if I execute the actions of these 2 buttons back to back, the time taken blows out to 5-10 minutes. Ideally the end user only needs to press one button however there is significant delay when adding 2 list objects in the same execution.

This takes significantly longer than running both separately.

Call GetSQLData(Monthly)
Call GetSQLData(Yearly)
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
There is information about "Executing the stored procedures from SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS) runs fast, but from a web application(ASP), it runs slow.

SSMS sets ARITHABORT option ON as default but from the program, it's OFF. So need to set it ON something like..


VBA Code:
SET ARITHABORT ON

I can't seem to edit but the stored procedure occasionally runs quickly and other times very slow. I don't think it's related to running both at the same time. Will do some investigation into ARITHABORT.
