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

After removing sections 1 by 1 to test for speed, it is the "REPLACE" function that is adding most of the time. Just writing the combinations and removing names that are in the same row took 58 seconds for 82000 combos. When replacing names with salary, it added a minute and 20 seconds. When replacing all names with corresponding projection, salary, and team(for helper columns), it added over 3 minutes. So when I actually do the amount of combos I want.. It it close to an hour or more. Not sure how to make replace function quicker though.

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
After removing all the names from the "Salary" Sheet that are not used on the "Worksheet" sheet, I can run 1,244,000 combinations in 16 min. A definite improvement from the hour and 10 it was originally. Now if I can find a way to maybe print the data as it is closing in on the max rows allowed, and then begin generating the rest of combinations from where it left off..

I can't get your script to run in its entirety for some reason. It always seems to crash & restart the script somewhere in the 'Sorting'.

I noticed that you are reading/writing to the sheet many times which will slow the speed of the script, so I am going to offer some changes that you can try:

1) Change:
VBA Code:
    ReDim aryNames(1 To 2, 1 To lLastColumn)    '1 holds the in-use entry row

to:
VBA Code:
    Dim WorksheetArray      As Variant
'
' Save Worksheet data into 2D 1 based WorksheetArray
    WorksheetArray = wksData.Range("A2:" & Split(Cells(1, lLastColumn).Address, "$")(1) & wksData.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Find("*", , xlFormulas, , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row)
'
    ReDim aryNames(1 To 2, 1 To lLastColumn)    '1 holds the in-use entry row

then change:
VBA Code:
        'Load names into scripting dictionary
        For lColumnIndex = lLastColumn To 1 Step -1
            sName = Cells(aryNames(1, lColumnIndex), lColumnIndex).Value
            oSD.Item(sName) = oSD.Item(sName) + 1
        Next

to:
VBA Code:
        'Load names into scripting dictionary
        For lColumnIndex = lLastColumn To 1 Step -1
''            sName = Cells(aryNames(1, lColumnIndex), lColumnIndex).Value
            sName = WorksheetArray(aryNames(1, lColumnIndex) - 1, lColumnIndex)  'I2,H2...A2 I3,H2...A2 I4,H2...A2 I2,H3,G2...A2
            oSD.Item(sName) = oSD.Item(sName) + 1
        NextI

Try that and see if your script still runs correctly. I have more changes to offer, but I want to make sure that works,

Edit: Those changes should allow you to read the original data from an array instead from the sheet.

Sorry that it's not working for you 😕. Not sure why that would be. I could maybe attach what I currently have done and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the new suggestions! I am running what you suggested so I should know in about 10 minutes.

            'Uncomment next row to see the lIterationCount for the printed row

then change:
VBA Code:

to:

'
    Application.StatusBar = "Sorting"

That should do all of the writes from K2 to Tx all at once instead of each cell one at at a time by writing all results to NoDupeRowArray & then when finished it will write all results to the sheet.

Let me know if that works.

Thanks for all that! I'm getting Subscript out of range on this:
VBA Code:
ReDim NoDupeRowArray(1 To lLastIteration, 1 To lLastColumn + 1)

I declared NoDupeRowArray as Variant.

When I hover over lLastIteration it is showing it is 0. When I hover over lLastColumn, it shows 7.

You should dim it as follows:

Dim NoDupeRowArray() As Variant

If you still get subscript out of range error, hover your mouse over each variable in the error line and see which one reports the error.

I Dim as you said. I am not showing an error on any variable in the line it reports an error :unsure:
