Hello,
I need help with elimination of flickering in the sub below, application.Screenupadting does not work as it seems to be reseted each time the sub CopyManyRanges is called. Purpose of the code is to copy certain values from one workbook to another based on certain condition(always copying to the last row). Once the values are copied, blank rows need to be deleted as they are added if certain YC is not copied as it is already existing in planning.(If I dont write for each YC lDestLastRow+x, then all values are just overwriting themselves and instead of 4 rows I get only 1row with last values.... I'm new to VBA and don't know if this can be handled on a different way... )
After the blank rows are removed a filter and sorting is applied.

In case the cod is run when the Planning is closed and all 4YC need to be copied as none is existing in the planning then there is no flickering. If for example 2YC are already existing and 2 still need to be added then the flickering appears. Flickering also appears if Planning is opened. Each YC has a unique number based on which it is determined if it is already existing in the planning.
Thank you

VBA Code:

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
As I cannot edit, here is the correct code:
VBA Code:

What was the edit that fixed it?
A bit hard looking at the phone.
Mine does the same thing

No solution yet .
I made a mistake when copying the code in the first post, so i made a second post to paste the correct one.

On a copy of can you see if this makes any difference.
(and make sure I haven't broken anything)
Mostly just removed selects and activates.
I have not touched your copy sub so haven't included it here.

VBA Code:
Sub Send_to_Planning_v03()

'Set variables for copy and destination sheets
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wsDest = Workbooks.Open(Planning).Worksheets("Plan")
Set wsCopy = Workbooks(YCNew).Worksheets("New 3")

With wsCopy
    '2. Find first blank row in the destination range based on data in column A
    'Offset property moves down 1 row
     
    lDestLastRow = wsDest.Cells(wsDest.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
   
    '  3. Copy & Paste Data + Check if YC exists
    'YC1
