Save New Workbooks Quickly

[Sisb]

Hello All,

I am trying to take a few sheets from a workbook and create a new workbook with them. I have been using the following code listed below and It works. The problem is that it is somewhat slow. I have this in a loop and need to run it a few hundred times which is time consuming.

Is there a way to create a new workbook with these sheets without having to open it and close it again? Or any other way that might be faster?



Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet4", "Sheet5")).Copy

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=xlsPath + "\ASSET ID " & asset & " " & recdate & " " & ".xls", CreateBackup:=False

ActiveWorkbook.Close



Thank You,

Sisb

Sisb,

Not sure if I can be of help, can you provide more details on what you are doing?

For instance, are you looping through what I will call the 'master file' and filtering data, then copying the sheets to a new workbook?

Or are you making copies of the same sheets and data just naming them differently for some reason?

Also, is the data just updated or does it grow?

The same set of hundreds of filenames, do they change?

any other details that may help

Matt,

I am looping through a part the Master Sub. In the loop I scrub a few websites for data about a specific asset. Then dump and format that data into Sheets 1, 2, 4, and 5. Then Pull some key points from each sheet and append them to a results sheet.

After that one pass through the loop I want to save down the 4 unique sheets and then I clear them in preparation for the next pass. The new file serves as a tool later on in a deeper investigation of that specific asset. Each new file has a unique name with the asset ID in it.

The problem is I timed the new file creation part of the loop and it takes 7 seconds, with the code I posted. Repeated several hundred times this is too long.

Any ideas for how to speed up the process would would be welcome.

Thanks,

Sisb
