Doing a 'countif' but I just want the value not the formula

[ste mac]

Hi There, can anybody help me with this one please:
I am no programmer but the macro below sticks a countif
formula in each cell as requested, but this makes the wb
slow to update (as it calcs of each cell) is there anyway
I can change it so it calcs the countif but just places the
amount it counts in each cell instead of the formulae?
Thanks for any help

Public Sub howmany()
Dim xlrow As Long

thedata = "DV3:EJ65000"
xlrow = 2150

Do While Not ActiveSheet.Cells(xlrow, 70).Value = ""

ActiveSheet.Cells(xlrow, 73).Formula = "=countif(" & thedata & ", " &
ActiveSheet.Cells(xlrow, 70).Value & ")"

xlrow = xlrow + 1
Application.StatusBar = xlrow
Loop
Application.StatusBar = False
End Sub

Hi
after the line
ActiveSheet.Cells(xlrow, 73).Formula = "=countif(" & thedata & ", " &
ActiveSheet.Cells(xlrow, 70).Value & ")"

add the line
ActiveSheet.Cells(xlrow, 73).value=ActiveSheet.Cells(xlrow, 73).value

or even

ActiveSheet.Cells(xlrow, 73).Value = Application.CountIf(Range(theData),
ActiveSheet.Cells(xlrow, 70).Value)
