code running super slow...

[gaba]

Hi All
This macro is doing what is intended to do, but it is running soooooo slow.
Is there any way to speed it up? There is a lot of room for improvement. I'm
trying my best but I'm new at this, more likely I'm doing something to make
it so slow
Any help/ideas would be more than appreciated

The idea is to find thru the columns of row 15 the colored cells, loop thru
its rows and copy the colored values into a new location, go to next and do
the same to the last column.

Thanks

Tyr turning the calculation off at the start and back on at the end.

Application.calcualtion = xlManual
....
Application.calculation = xlAutomatic

Whenever you toggle these appliation settings it is a good Idea to impliment
an error handler to reset thme in case of a problem.

Hope this works...

Thanks for your answer, Jim. It is giving me an error... I'm retracing what I
added at the end and it is making it so slow.
Soon as I find what's wrong I'll post it
Thanks a lot,
Gaba

I don't get it... I've created the macro in a copy spreadsheet. Once it was
working I copied it to the template (a read only version). That's where the
slowing down problems began.. I went back to the copy spreadsheet and it is
working fast as it is supposed to be...
The error was because of a typo in calcualtions... Still not changing the
speed...
Any ideas?
