The following code takes an age! It does work but takes a very long time. :mad:

Any help please :)

Code:
Sub Copy_Paste_Filtered_Selections()'
' Macro3 Macro
'


'
    Sheets("Selections").Select
    Range("A26:AO124").Copy Sheets("Filtered Selections").Range("A10000").End(xlUp).Offset(2, 0)
        
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Hi

Is there any other code, particularly event code, in your workbook?

The code is part of a module that is triggered by a command button.

The module:

Code:
Sub Filter_Selections()'
' Macro1 Macro
'


'
    Sheets("Selections").Select
    Range("O24:AJ124").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:= _
        Range("O1:AJ24"), Unique:=False
   
   
End Sub




Sub Copy_Paste_Filtered_Selections()
'
' Macro3 Macro
'


'
    Sheets("Selections").Select
    Range("A26:AO124").Copy Sheets("Filtered Selections").Range("A10000").End(xlUp).Offset(2, 0)
        
End Sub




Sub Clear_Selections_Filter()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'


'
    Sheets("Selections").Select
    ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
    Sheets("Filtered Selections").Select
    Range("DH1").Select
End Sub

I see

The reason I ask is your code shouldn't take an age to run, simple copy paste job shouldn't cause a delay, so I'm thinking some kind of event code in one of your sheet modules or the ThisWorkbook module.

Try turning off event code while it does it's thing

Code:
Application.EnableEvents = False

' your exisiting code

Application.EnableEvents = True

And see if that helps at all

Just tried it and exactly the same.

You did mean like this:

Code:
Sub Copy_Paste_Filtered_Selections()
'
' Macro3 Macro
'
Application.EnableEvents = False
'
    Sheets("Selections").Select
    Range("A26:AO124").Copy Sheets("Filtered Selections").Range("A10000").End(xlUp).Offset(2, 0)
  Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

If you have loads of formulas try turning calculation off
Code:
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

    Sheets("Selections").Select
    Range("A26:AO124").Copy Sheets("Filtered Selections").Range("A10000").End(xlUp).Offset(2, 0)

Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

Thank you.

Still freezes though saying (Excel Not Responding)

Are you copying over just values, an option might be to just let the range equal the values rather than copy it over...

Code:
Sub Copy_Paste_Filtered_Selections() '
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .EnableEvents = False
    .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    Dim lst As Long
    With Sheets("Filtered Selections")
    lst = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 2
        .Range("A" & lst).Resize(99, 41).Value = Sheets("Selections").Range("A26:AO124").Value
    End With
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    .EnableEvents = True
    .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End With
End Sub

Also slimmed down Excel activities whilst that goes ahead.

I don't think it will help as I believe there is something else happening with your workbook that you don't know/haven't revealed yet but what happens if you comment out your current codes and replace them with the codes below.

Code:
Sub Filter_Selections() '
' Macro1 Macro
 Sheets("Selections").Range("O24:AJ124").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:= _
        Sheets("Selections").Range("O1:AJ24"), Unique:=False
End Sub

Sub Copy_Paste_Filtered_Selections()
Dim screenUpdateState As Boolean, statusBarState As Boolean
Dim CalcState, eventsState As Boolean, displayPageBreaksState As Boolean

displayPageBreaksState = Sheets("Selections").DisplayPageBreaks
  With Application
   screenUpdateState = .ScreenUpdating
      statusBarState = .DisplayStatusBar
           CalcState = .Calculation
         eventsState = .EnableEvents

                       .ScreenUpdating = False
                       .DisplayStatusBar = False
                       .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
                       .EnableEvents = False
  End With
 Sheets("Selections").DisplayPageBreaks = False
 
 Sheets("Selections").Range("A26:AO124").SpecialCells(12).Copy Sheets("Filtered Selections").Range("A10000").End(xlUp).Offset(2, 0)
  
  With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = screenUpdateState
        .DisplayStatusBar = statusBarState
        .Calculation = CalcState
        .EnableEvents = eventsState
  End With
Sheets("Selections").DisplayPageBreaks = displayPageBreaksState

End Sub

Sub Clear_Selections_Filter()
Sheets("Selections").ShowAllData
Application.Goto Sheets("Filtered Selections").Range("DH1")
End Sub

Hi MARK858 it appears that you were right. :oops:

I had a good nights sleep last night and felt refreshed so had another look at the spreadsheet this morning. "Conditional Formatting" was the cause of my problem. I guess pretty colors do not help when there is a large amount of data and formulas/calculations.

A girl and her colors :oops::oops: i have cleared the rules for the entire sheet and hey presto all works well!

Thank you both for your time and help, many thanks.
