Macro takes forever - didn't used to

Zen

Hi,
I'm running a macro to rearrange some tables and add alternate row colors.
In the past this macro only took about 15 seconds to run and now it takes
several minutes. I can't recall installing any new apps besides windows
updates in a long time.

I didn't look at cpu usage before since it was so fast I didn't think
anything of it, but now it is like 40-50% in the process list.

kind of an old system but still workin hard.

I've copy/pasted the macro.

Cells (Cells.Select) can be a dangerous way to select a range, if you only mean to use a small
part of a sheet. Try pressing Ctrl-End and see where you end up - you may need to delete extra rows
and columns that have been included in your usedrange, or just use the block of cells that are
filled - instead of Cells.Select use, perhaps, Range("B2").CurrentRegion.Select

The whole thing should be re-written to NOT select and to not use CELLS.
However, the thing that is probably slowing it the most is the page setup.
Better to do that separately and only to make changes that are necessary. In
fact, it looks like it is doing nothing so comment it out to test. Remove
selections, get rid of the scrolldowns, etc. Post back for more help.

Ctrl+End brings me to the last row which is only 69. But it can change from
week to week up or down a although only by a few rows, that's why i select
them all.

I tried Rage like you suggested but it still took about the same time.

Also, that ended up messing up my data. because it didn't expand selection
so the quantities did not match up properly with the items they belonged to.

Well, I'm not familiar with scripting really. I just used the record
function to make the macro.

I'll just live with the delay.
