    Exclamation macro takes forever to complete

    I use this macro to hide older than today rows.
    The problem is that it runs for the already hidden rows and thus it takes forever to complete
    because there are more than 1500 rows in the table...

    office 2019 and office 2021

    Any ideas??

    Aha !
    This one worked just fine. Thank you!
    If I unhide all rows and run it it still takes long time to complete.
    But if rows are hidden and needs to hide 10 more (from yesterday)
    it works perfect.
    So, Thank you again
    Pete

    As a reminder filtering data just replaces the useless slow loop …

    I agree but
    saving a filter as macro to be attached to a button
    is not my expertise yet :-)

    I use filters else were in my sheets but I don't know how to do this one.

    Thanks !

    So easy to start yourself just activating the Macro Recorder and operating manually …
    For more help attach at least a workbook.
