Hello,

I wrote this bit of code, but it takes a while to calculate considering how many times I use it - I believe it takes really long because it runs the code through the entire table column.

I am looking to try and get this to work faster, maybe by calculating only when there is a change or perhaps another way I am unaware of.

Please have a look at let me know how I may go about to doing this.

the code gives me the desired output.. It just takes its sweet time in doing so.

VBA Code:
Sub checkProgress()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim i As Long

For i = 2 To Rows.Count

    If Range("C" & i).Value = "" Or Range("I" & i).Value <> "" Or Range("A" & i).Value <> "" Then
    Else
        Range("I" & i).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.SumIfs(Range("G2:G" & i), Range("C2:C" & i), Range("C" & i), Range("D2:D" & i), Range("D" & i))
        Range("H" & i).Value = Range("E" & i).Value - Range("I" & i).Value
    End If
Next i

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thanks for suggesting that

I already have
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
in my code .. I'll go ahead and implement the rest of those too, but I doubt it would make a noticeable change.

My past research had shown me that turning ScreenUpdating off puts a real dent in processing time - the rest, not so much.. but doesn't hurt to try I suppose! ty

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

Yes, you are processing over a million rows when you are probably only using a very small (relatively) number.
It looks like that may well be a formal Excel table (ListObject). If that is so, give this a try with a copy of your workbook.
Assuming the table is the only table on the worksheet, or if more then this is ListObjects(1)

VBA Code:
Sub checkProgress_v2()
  Dim i As Long
 
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  With ActiveSheet.ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange
    For i = 1 To .Rows.Count
        If .Range("C" & i).Value <> "" And .Range("I" & i).Value = "" And .Range("A" & i).Value = "" Then
            .Range("I" & i).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.SumIfs(.Range("G1:G" & i), .Range("C1:C" & i), .Range("C" & i), .Range("D1:D" & i), .Range("D" & i))
            .Range("H" & i).Value = .Range("E" & i).Value - .Range("I" & i).Value
        End If
    Next i
  End With
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Good grief that was insanely fast!!!

Thank you sooo much!!
