I'm using Excel 2003. My macro takes a 40,000 line (approx) CSV file, and among other things finds rows with 10 keywords in the row and deletes the entire row.
The problem I want to solve is that the find loop is very very slow. It takes about 1-2 seconds per row to search through all my keywords. 40,000/60/60 = 11 hours.
The find operation is slower with the more words I add, but even with just one or two words, it was kind of slow. I have found that the find/replace command is much quicker, but I can't delete entire rows with that method and that is what I must do.
My approach uses a for each loop to iterate through each row. From there, I use a loop to find each of my key words in that row. Keywords are stored in an array.
Help to speed up this process would be appreciated!
