Macros/VLookup

Hello,

I currently have a spreadsheet of data that is becoming too large, it is very slow and takes a long time to save.

All the data is date specific and we really only need access to the data from the last year or so.

Is there a way to automatically move the data from one workbook to another when it becomes over a year old so we can have a current and 'archive' workbook?

Thanks

RE: Macros/VLookup

Hi Fiona,

Thank you for the forum question.

Yes if you have a lot of VBA knowledge and SQL knowledge you can write a code to do what you want.

If it was me I would use Power Pivot to handle the data. Power Pivot can without any problems handle millions of records.





Kind regards

Excel tip:

Deleting a range of cells using the autofill handle

Firstly, select the range of cells for which you would like to clear the contents. Then drag the autofill handle to the the top left corner of the selection whilst holding down the shift key. Your selected contents should then be deleted.
