Hello Friends,

I am using the below code which is working perfect apart from the problem that it takes almost 25 seconds when running for first time after I open the workbook. After that when run for the second or third time > it takes only 6 to 7 seconds.

Do you guys have any idea why this is happening.

VBA Code:
Private Sub update_database()
   
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Application.Run "calculation_off"
  
    Dim ws As Worksheet
                     
Set WSArray = Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets(Array("INDEX", "DATABASE", "R VALIDATION", "R DAILY PRODUCTION", "R FRI DPI LABTEST", "R PO DESIGN COLOUR"))

For Each ws In WSArray
ws.Unprotect Password:="merchant"
If ws.AutoFilterMode Then ws.AutoFilterMode = False
Next
   
    Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:/OneDrive/Documents/DATA ENTRY.xlsm"
           
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("R VALIDATION").Cells.ClearContents
    Workbooks("DATA ENTRY.xlsm").Worksheets("VALIDATION").Cells.Copy
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("R VALIDATION").Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("DATABASE").Range("A2:AO2").ClearContents
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("DATABASE").Range("orders").ClearContents
    Workbooks("DATA ENTRY.XLSM").Worksheets("ORDERS").Range("A2:AO10000").Copy
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("DATABASE").Range("A4").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("R DAILY PRODUCTION").Cells.ClearContents
    Workbooks("DATA ENTRY.xlsm").Worksheets("DAILY PRODUCTION").Cells.Copy
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("R DAILY PRODUCTION").Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("R FRI DPI LABTEST").Cells.ClearContents
    Workbooks("DATA ENTRY.xlsm").Worksheets("FRI DPI LABTEST").Cells.Copy
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("R FRI DPI LABTEST").Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("R PO DESIGN COLOUR").Cells.ClearContents
    Workbooks("DATA ENTRY.xlsm").Worksheets("PO DESIGN COLOUR").Cells.Copy
    Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets("R PO DESIGN COLOUR").Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    
Workbooks("DATA ENTRY.xlsm").Close savechanges:=False
   
 Sheets("INDEX").Range("J16").Value = Now
        
   For Each ws In WSArray
   ws.Protect Password:="merchant", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
       , AllowFormattingColumns:=True, AllowFormattingRows:=True
      
Next

Application.Run "update_quality_article_unit"

End Sub

Any help would be appreciated

Regards,

Humayun

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Sort of shot in the dark, but what is your "Files On-Demand" setting in OneDrive? If it is checked and that is what you want for most files, you can go to the file in question in windows explorer, right click on it, and select "Always keep on this device." My first suspicion is that you are having to download the file upon first use because, perhaps, it was changed from some other source.

Hi dataluver,

Thanks for the reply but that is not the case I reckon. See here is another code which does not have to donwload anything. Its just doing some copy paste stuff within the workbook. It takes over 10 seconds for the first time. After that it takes 3 seconds.

Here is the code - having same problem :(

VBA Code:
Private Sub update_quality_article_unit()
 
  Dim ws As Worksheet
 
  Set WSArray = Workbooks("REPORTS.xlsm").Worksheets(Array("DATABASE", "Supplier Wise", "Year Wise"))
   
  For Each ws In WSArray
  ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
  ws.Unprotect Password:="merchant"
  If ws.AutoFilterMode Then ws.AutoFilterMode = False
  Next

   Worksheets("Supplier Wise").Range("B11:D123,B129:D161").ClearContents
   Worksheets("Year Wise").Range("B11:D123,B129:D161").ClearContents
     
    ' Below line is commented out coz already run in updating databse
    'Worksheets("DATABASE").Range("A2:AO2").ClearContents
   
    Sheets("DATABASE").Select
    Range("F4", Range("F4").End(xlDown)).Copy Range("BA4")
    Range("G4", Range("G4").End(xlDown)).Copy Range("BB4")
    Range("M4", Range("M4").End(xlDown)).Copy Range("BC4")

    'Remove Duplicate Start
     Worksheets("DATABASE").Range("BA4:BC4", Range("BA4:BC4").End(xlDown)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2, 3), Header:=xlNo
    'Remove Duplicate End
   
   'Sorting Start
    Range("BA4:BC4", Range("BA4:BC4").End(xlDown)).Select
    Worksheets("DATABASE").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    Worksheets("DATABASE").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("BB4:BB4", Range("BB4:BB4").End(xlDown)), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    Worksheets("DATABASE").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("BA4:BA4", Range("BA4:BA4").End(xlDown)), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    Worksheets("DATABASE").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("BC4:BC4", Range("BC4:BC4").End(xlDown)), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, CustomOrder:="Set(s),Pc(s),Pair(s),Dozen(s)", DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With Worksheets("DATABASE").Sort
        .SetRange Range("BA4:BC4", Range("BA4:BC4").End(xlDown))
        .Header = xlGuess
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
   'Sorting End
   
    Range("BA4:BC4", Range("BA4:BC4").End(xlDown)).Copy
   
    Sheets("Supplier Wise").Range("B11").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    Sheets("Year Wise").Range("B11").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
   
    Sheets("DATABASE").Range("BB4", Range("BB4").End(xlDown)).ClearContents
   
    Range("BC4", Range("BC4").End(xlDown)).Cut Range("BB4")
       
    'Sorintg Start
    Range("BA4:BB4", Range("BA4:BB4").End(xlDown)).Select
    Worksheets("DATABASE").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    Worksheets("DATABASE").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("BA4:BA4", Range("BA4:BA4").End(xlDown)), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    Worksheets("DATABASE").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("BB4:BB4", Range("BB4:BB4").End(xlDown)), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, CustomOrder:="Set(s),Pc(s),Pair(s),Dozen(s)", DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With Worksheets("DATABASE").Sort
        .SetRange Range("BA4:BB4", Range("BA4:BB4").End(xlDown))
        .Header = xlGuess
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
    'Sorting End
   
    'Remove Duplicate Start
     Range("BA4:BB4", Range("BA4:BB4").End(xlDown)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2), Header:=xlNo
    'Remove Duplicate End
   
   Range("BA4", Range("BA4").End(xlDown)).Copy
   Sheets("Supplier Wise").Range("B129").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
   Sheets("Year Wise").Range("B129").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

   ws.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
  
   Next
   
    End Sub

I don't have a clue. I have no idea what links, code, formulas, etc are running/refreshing in those other workbooks. How long does it take to open your workbook while holding the shift key when opening? Holding the shift key will keep code from running. If there's no slow down without code, we can at least begin to narrow it down.
