I'm working on a report of quality control. I've got a table, with all the points of control inside, and each time, when I get a new test result, Excel should fill this table. My code already works, but slowly (I have 15000 lines in this table, and it takes me 4 minutes to fill it), so I wish I can accelerate a little bit. Here is my general idea: The results of one test is composted by nearly 3000 .txt files, and I have a list L which contains the names of all these files that I should open and import the data into Excel. I open the list L, and open the .txt file one by one, to import the results into a sheet "Brouillon" all at once, then fill the table with its help. I think it could be faster. 'to chose the list L Private Sub Button_Parcourir_Click() With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) .AllowMultiSelect = False .InitialFileName = "import_excel.txt" .Show listPath = .SelectedItems(1) End With TextBox1.Text = listPath End Sub <!--- ---> Private Sub Button_Importer_Click() 'create a sheet named "Brouillon": Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Brouillon" Range("A1").Select 'open the list L and import the data into "Brouillon": list_de_Controle = "TEXT;" & listPath Open listPath For Input As #1 Do While Not EOF(1) Line Input #1, nom_de_Fich mfile = Dir(nom_de_Fich & "*.*") If mfile <> "" Then Open nom_de_Fich For Input As #2 Fich_dansList = Fich_dansList & nom_de_Fich & "|" Inserer_contenu Close #2 End If Loop Close #1 'count how many lines and columns we have in "Data": Worksheets(Array(1)).Select Range("A3").Select ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Select ActiveCell.End(xlToRight).Select ligne_Data = Selection.Row ma_Colonne = Selection.Column + 1 'count how many lines and columns we have in "Brouillon": Count_Brouillon 'put a flag to reduce the loop marque_ligneBrouillon = 1 'for each line in "Data": For i = 4071 To ligne_Data 'find which file I should open (mon_objet): mon_objet = Sheets("Data").Cells(i, 15).Text 'begin to search in "Brouillon" (from the last time where it stopped): For j = marque_ligneBrouillon To ligne_Brouillon 'check the file: If InStr(Sheets("Brouillon").Cells(j, 1).Text, mon_objet) <> 0 Then 'put this file in list: opened_Fich = opened_Fich & Sheets("Brouillon").Cells(j, 1).Text & "|" 'check the zone: If InStr(Sheets("Brouillon").Cells(j, 2).Text, Sheets("Data").Cells(i, 18).Text) <> 0 _ Or InStr(Sheets("Data").Cells(i, 18).Text, "/") <> 0 Then 'in the correct line in "Brouillon" from the beginning till the end: For k = 2 To colonne_Brouillon 'check the control whose result I'm looking for: If InStr(Sheets("Brouillon").Cells(j, k).Text, Sheets("Data").Cells(i, 20).Text) <> 0 Then 'if this cell contains the result: '1. put the mark here marque_ligneBrouillon = j '2. put the result inside: mon_Data = Sheets("Brouillon").Cells(j, k).Text Sheets("Data").Cells(i, ma_Colonne).Value = mon_Data Flag_j = True Exit For End If Next k End If End If If Flag_j Then Exit For Next j Flag_j = False Next i Dim nb_Unique As Long 'because one txt.file could be opened a several times, so I want to remove the duplicate lines: BList = Split(opened_Fich, "|") With Worksheets("Brouillon") .Range("A1").Resize(UBound(BList)).Value = Application.Transpose(BList) End With Sheets("Brouillon").Columns(1).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1), Header:=xlNo nb_Unique = Sheets("Brouillon").Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues).Count Debug.Print nb_Unique 'then put list L after all these files: AList = Split(Fich_dansList, "|") With Worksheets("Brouillon") .Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(1).Resize(UBound(AList)).Value = Application.Transpose(AList) End With 'then remove again all the duplicate parts: Sheets("Brouillon").Columns(1).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1), Header:=xlNo 'so the ones that haven't been opened are listed after those have been opened: nb_total = Sheets("Brouillon").Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues).Count End Sub Then I'll do the nearly the same thing to put all these haven't been opened files at the end of the table. Because they are the new tests points that have been just added into the test, there is no correct 'place' for them, and I have to complete and improve the table. Public Sub Inserer_Nom_Fich() ActiveCell.Value = nom_de_Fich ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select End Sub <!--- ---> Public Sub Inserer_contenu() Dim keyWord As String keyWord = "Zone" Inserer_Nom_Fich Do While Not EOF(2) Line Input #2, contenu 'if it's a new zone: If InStr(contenu, keyWord) < 1 Then ActiveCell = contenu 'if it's not: Else ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select ActiveCell.End(xlToLeft).Select Inserer_Nom_Fich ActiveCell = contenu End If ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select Loop ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select ActiveCell.End(xlToLeft).Select End Sub <!--- ---> Public Sub Count_Brouillon() ligne_Brouillon = Sheets("Brouillon").UsedRange.Rows.Count colonne_Brouillon = Sheets("Brouillon").UsedRange.Columns.Count End Sub It's a little bit too long, so I've tried to add some comments to help you to read. If you've got some ideas to improve and accelerate the program, or something I've not good explained, please leave a comment.
