Stop the flicker

Hello,

Briefly I have a loop that runs in our automation factory 24 hours / 5 days a week.

Runs beautifully.

HOWEVER, the screen flickering is doing my head in.

Ultimately this is because of my bad habit of .Activate
I tried using WITH but the issue is it needs to filter through each sheet looking for values and then doing XYZ.

So all I need is a solution to selecting each sheet and selecting the next without using .activate because I'm pretty sure this is the root cause.

Cheers!

Code:
Public v As Integer
Sub BeginAutomation()


Dim v As Long


With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With


v = 0


Dim Msg As String, Ans As Variant
Msg = "You're about to begin automation on the C Section Machines do you wish to proeceed?"
Ans = MsgBox(Msg, vbYesNo)
Select Case Ans
Case vbYes
Call TimerControl
Case vbNo
GoTo quit:
End Select


With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
quit:
    
   
End Sub
Sub STOPAUTOMATION()


Range("XFC8").Value = "1"
ActiveWorkbook.Save
If Range("XFC8").Value = "1" Then Call EXITAUTO


End Sub


Sub TimerControl()


Dim v As Long


If v = 0 Then


    TimeToRun = Now + TimeValue("00:00:07")
    Application.OnTime TimeToRun, "LoadC15015"
    Else
    Exit Sub
    End If


End Sub

To answer your question in post 6

You do not need to activate a sheet or select a range to do a lot of things.

Here are examples of two ways to do things.
A lot of people think you have to do it like this script named Their way.

But you can do it my way and get the same results with less code and will cause less flickering and may be faster.



Code:
Sub Their_Way()
'Modified  10/29/2018  10:24:28 PM  EDT
Sheets("Dad").Activate
Range("A1").Copy
Sheets("Mom").Activate
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial
End Sub
Sub My_Way()
'Modified  10/29/2018  10:24:28 PM  EDT
Sheets("Dad").Range("A1").Copy Sheets("Mom").Range("A1")
End Sub

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
I'm hearin ya !!
If you work through the smaller codes and eliminate .Select / Selection and .Activate wherever possible, it will sped things up AND reduce the flicker.
Have a crack and if you strike problems with changes post the code back here for help correcting / modifying

Michael! I'm getting the hang of it as I understand more however! I'm stuck on 2 things in particular - wb.save (it starts the sub routine) I just want it to continue doing what it needs to do...

Second thing I have a .select happening for next i but I can't work out how to obliterate this .select! You're help as always is appreciated.

Hello Michael much appreciated with your input however you're saying A3:Z10 is getting hard copied right?
The code just before this is counting how many rows to grab right? So isn't this a concern with your code? Sorry for questioning you, just curious as I'm currently unable to test right now.

Sorry, my error....I changed the cell refs for my testing, it should read

Code:
Sheets("Downpipe Machine Data").Range("A3:Z" & i - 1).Copy
Sheets("Downpipe Machine Batch").Cells(3, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues

Oh no, no need to be sorry! I thought this was as such all good made that change working well.

I'll continue by myself making these changes to get rid of these selects/activates.

As always two thumbs up for your help!

Hello all,

Home stretch and let me tell you a million times better with all those selects/activates gone! - That said I still have a few left. I'll leave the guts of it alone for now. However I have 2 annoying things.

1. using wb.save will refresh the sub instead of continuing what I've asked it to do better way to save an active workbook instead of activeworkbook.save? I was using dim wb as workbook, set wb as activeworkbook, wb.save but as mentioned no good... as it does that refresh.

2. At the start of each LOAD(XYZ) eg: LOADDownpipe I have 1 initial sheets("Downpipe Machine Batch").activate - reason being is if the workbook isn't on that sheet at the time it won't hop into it. I've removed most of the silly selects/activates apart from the ones that start the SUB LOAD(XYZ) routines.

Code in FULL below:

Code:
Public v As IntegerSub BeginAutomation()
'Dim wb As Workbook
'Set wb = Workbooks(“savefile.xlsm”)
'wb.Save
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  v = 0
    Dim Msg As String, Ans As Variant
    Msg = "You're about to begin automation do you wish to proceed?"
    Ans = MsgBox(Msg, vbYesNo)
    Select Case Ans
        Case vbYes
    Call Timercontrol
        Case vbNo
        GoTo Quit:
    End Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Quit:
End Sub
Sub STOPAUTOMATION()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Range("XFC8").Value = "1"
ActiveWorkbook.Save
If Range("XFC8").Value = "1" Then Call EXITAUTO
'v = 1
Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Sub Timercontrol()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    If v = 0 Then
    TimeToRun = Now + TimeValue("00:00:10")
    Application.OnTime TimeToRun, "LoadDownpipe"
    Else
    Exit Sub
    End If

Still a bit to do
You shouldn't have to "hop into" a sheet to do stuff....see below

This
Code:
              ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Downpipe Machine Batch").Activate
              
              If Sheets("Downpipe Machine Batch").Range("N3") = 3 And Sheets("Downpipe Machine Batch").Range("P3").Value = 1 And Sheets("Downpipe Machine Batch").Range("AJ3") = 0 Then
              ActiveSheet.Range("AJ3") = "2"
                
                '''Job has been completed TIME STAMP
                Range("AN3").Value = Now

could be reduced to this without activating the sheet

Code:
With Sheets("Downpipe Machine Batch")
    If .Range("N3") = 3 And .Range("P3") = 1 And .Range("AJ3") = 0 Then .Range("AJ3") = "2"
    '''Job has been completed TIME STAMP
        .Range("AN3").Value = Now
End With

wb.Save shouldn't restart the sub unless wb isn't open.
It should work fine if wb is the activeworkbook !!


I note also that you are copying a block of data>> activating another sheet >>then pasting that data, when you could simply paste the data straight to the sheet, almost eliminating the need for a number of extra macros !

Also noticed there are blocks of comments that are redundant....I'd suggest removing as many as you can, for ease of debugging

End With

I had...no idea... so much to learn Q.Q but it's good though! Thank you... putting these comments in as we go to better teach myself moving forward and hopefully (one day) relay this message to help others!
