    faster way to do countif via vba for large dataset

    Hi,

    I am enclosing a test file which is just a small sample of the dataset I actually have to consider.

    Since the data set I am working with is large I cant use the application.countif type function.........its just way tooooo slow.


    using the enclosed file: what I am trying to calculate is the following:

    if I were to use equations in excel they might look like the following:

    =countif(
    ColN, "Open",
    ColF, "Site*",
    ColG, H2,
    ColX, <= I2,
    ColO, > DefnNameTAT)

    +

    countif(
    ColN, "Open",
    ColF, "Site*",
    ColG, H2,
    ColX, =&"All",
    ColO, > DefnNameTAT)


    Note: DefnNameTAT is a user defnd name and its value is located in M1


    I started the macro..........i thought using a scripting dictionary would be helpful.....


    I have probably confused someone......if so let me know.


    note: i had to keep deleting rows from my input file so that it would make the 1000kB file size requirment.........but i did not go back and update the last row values i put into the macro.

    You could try using autofilter to get your conditions and then subtotal to count non-hidden rows.

    Re: faster way to do countif via vba for large dataset

    can you provide an example?

    Lately when i have "large files" i tended to stay away from anything excel-function like because i keep getting burned by things like "oh yeah that does not work when you have that many elements"........so i have tended to keep using arrays and i know scripting dictinary is a good tool.

    Re: faster way to do countif via vba for large dataset

    ok.....i was able to do it with the help of the previous forum post.

    i am enclosing the file. note: to verify that the vba code worked i calculated the results manually using the excel formulas.

    manual calculation is shown in column D on the worksheet "SmallerData_set". Col-E contains the results from the vba program.

    Again, thanks to the previous post........

    note: to do the manual calc i had to save file format into the xl2007 format.

    if there is a better way than what i did please let me know
