I've been running the same macros for years now, and it's been working perfectly in both Excel 2007 and 2010.
But now my job's updated to 2016, and when I try to run the same macro the screen is flickering.
When speed isn't a issue, I prefer to have "screenupdating = true", so that I can see what's going on.
But now the screen is both flickering, for periods it's just white, and now and then I can see cells beeing updated on the screen - without seeing the rest of the sheet/cells...

I've tried setting hardware graphics acceleration in my excel to "disabled", but it didn't help.
Problem is the same on both my private pc and my job-pc. Both have Windows 10 and Excel 2016.

Any ideas on how this can be fixed?
 
Do a Google search on "Excel VBA Progress Bar", and see if maybe that is something you can incorporate.

If your code is taking that long to run, I would highly recommend trying to speed it up by incorporating using the things I told you above, as well as shutting off Automatic Calculations until the very end also.

I will look into it.
Thanks a lot for responding to my thread and for all your advice! :)

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
You are welcome.
I hope at least some of it helps!
