Back again...

I need assistance with my macro as I am running into issues with the max rows exceeding 1,048,576.

The macros current method in order:

-writes a combination of names
-once names are written, it then copies those names into helper columns and replaces the names with a salary
-adds salary together in a new column
-sorts names in order
-removes duplicates

I have enough filters where the number of rows in the end will never exceed 1,048,576...however the macro still has to "write" the names and salaries to determine if it meets criteria. The removal of duplicates and salary over 60000 doesn't occur until after all the combinations are all written. Is there any way for me to continue with the rest of code if max rows written is reached and then loop back to start writing the combinations again... Thanks for any assistance


VBA Code:
Public CalcState As Long
Public EventState As Boolean
Public PageBreakState As Boolean

Sub OptimizeCode_Begin()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

EventState = Application.EnableEvents
Application.EnableEvents = False

CalcState = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xCalculationManual

PageBreakState = ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks
ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False

End Sub

Sub OptimizeCode_End()

ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = PageBreakState
Application.Calculation = CalcState
Application.EnableEvents = EventState
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Sorry, can't stay away for some reason. ;(

Should be able to make it about 25% faster yet if my current thinking pans out.

Boy was I off in my estimation of speed increase, it is looking like it will be about 300% faster. :)

I need to do some cleanup now and will post back later.

Must be that feeling of always wanting to see how you can improve something 😁 that sounds awesome! Look foward to seeing what you come up with. I'm in the midst of trying to figure out how to rank these lineups besides just projection as it isn't the greatest method. May post something to forums this week to see if anyone can help with insight on correlation.

I haven't done the exact math but that appears to be like about a 350% increase in speed over the code posted in post #122


There are many changes in the newest code that I came up with, I would have to say that the biggest time saver was changing all of the 'replace' sections of code with a version of code that does the 'replacements' to the values in an array as opposed to doing it on the sheet.

Please try the newest code out & let me know what you think. There is still a memory hog in the code that I haven't tracked down yet. So you will have to close excel & reopen it each time you run the code.

I haven't done the exact math but that appears to be like about a 350% increase in speed over the code posted in post #122


There are many changes in the newest code that I came up with, I would have to say that the biggest time saver was changing all of the 'replace' sections of code with a version of code that does the 'replacements' to the values in an array as opposed to doing it on the sheet.

Please try the newest code out & let me know what you think. There is still a memory hog in the code that I haven't tracked down yet. So you will have to close excel & reopen it each time you run the code.

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Public EventState       As Boolean
Public PageBreakState   As Boolean
Public CalcState        As Long


Private Sub OptimizeCode_Begin()
'
    With Application
             CalcState = .Calculation
            EventState = .EnableEvents
        PageBreakState = ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks
'
             .StatusBar = False
           .Calculation = xlManual
          .EnableEvents = False
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False
    End With
End Sub


Private Sub OptimizeCode_End()
'

        ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = PageBreakState
                        .EnableEvents = EventState

Runs super quick Johnny! 🙂

As you said, it appears after macro runs excel sticks around 224MB. Could it just be due to the data? I looked at your code and couldn't find any instance of an array not being cleared and all copy paste methods are set to false after being used. Not a big deal to have to restart if wanting to run it again though! Awesome work 👏

If we aren't careful, we will get a speeding ticket. ROTFL

I will look into this memory issue previously discussed to see if we can solve that issue.
