    Loop that takes a long time

    Hi,

    The below look has to go through 30,000 lines and takes ages. Is there a more efficent way to achive the same outcome. All it does is concatenates columns 6 & 7 together.

    It loops 30,000 times. Worse is it may do infinite loop.

    Oops... Thanks for the correction

    I just tested it by creating a small data and forgot to change it to actual references

    Re: Loop that takes a long time

    Why not just use a standard function in Excel rather than VBA
    i.e. in H2 copied down

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Or if you need the macro equivalent

    Avoid loops at all costs since they just take too long when compared to using standard functionality.
