Question

For example how could I find what formula is faster?

=SUMPRODUCT((Data!D:D="RC Corp")*(Data!AD:AD="Expected Allowances / Provisions"))

Vs

=COUNTIFS(Data!D:D,"RC Corp",Data!AD:AD,"Expected Allowances / Provisions")

Vs Concatinating the 2 fields into a new Column and doing

 Z1 = D1&AD1
=Countif(Data!Z:Z,"RC CorpExpected Allowances / Provisions")

Vs VBA

Dim i as integer
Dim Total as integer
Total = 0 
i=0
While i < 1000 
    IF Range("D"&i).Value = "RC Corp" AND Range("AD"&i).Value = "Expected Allowances / Provisions" Then
Total = Total + 1
End If 
Wend
Range("$A$1").Value = Total
Was it helpful?

Solution

Woking from evocandy's answer I came up with this basic code.

time1 = Timer
Range("A1").Calculate ' Or the cell containing the Formula I want. OR use Sheets("Sheet1").Calculate for the calculation including concated columns
time2 = Timer

CalculationTime = Time2-Time1

In order for this to work i had to Isolate sample data to new empty worksheets and disable the Automatic Refresh in Excel as to make sure it doesn't time any other Calculations.

OTHER TIPS

In VBA you can user Timer.

Put

time1 = Timer
'Your code
time2 = timer

totaltime = time2-time1
