Stop Screen Flicker In Excel While Running Excel VBA Macro Code.
If you record Excel macros, as apposed to writing them, you will often wish to stop the screen flicker caused by your macro selecting cells and Worksheets. Even inexperienced VBA coders, that write their own code, often and up with the same problem due to their code being full of Select, Selection, Activate etc. Not only is it off-putting for the end user but it also causes macros to run much slower.
Stop Excel Screen Flicker
The long term aim should be to write better and more efficient code however, that is not always possible. The other option is to use a simple line of code like: Application.ScreenUpdating=False This will stop Excel having to repaint the screen each time the macro does something. To see the huge improvement that can be obtained, run the 2 macros below via Tools>Macro>Macros.
Sub SlowWithFlicker()
Dim rCell As Range
For Each rCell In Range("A1:A15000")
rCell.Select
Next rCell
End Sub
Sub FastWithNoFlicker()
Dim rCell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each rCell In Range("A1:A15000")
rCell.Select
Next rCell
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
