It takes 24 hrs to run: with counter 3 mins?

[ste mac]

Hi there, l need a bit of help, l am no programmer but l do find VBA
facinating.
My problem:
l have code (borrowed, begged, and from this ng) that checks a 5
number set against a 5 cell x 400+(variable) row 'range', as it is
now, it checks starting from row 1 thru' to the end of the 'range'...
what l need is to be able to run the check only against new (added
rows) to the 'range'...and add the hits to the total.
I thought l just need a counter to tell the code which row it has
already checked and just add the hits of the new rows to the total.
I have had lots of goes at doing this, but l wonder if the logic is
incorrect for an easy mod...but for the life of me l cannot get it to
work...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ste,

I think you would be better off telling us what it is that you want to
actually calculate. There may be a formula-based solution that would work.

Hi Bernie, believe it or not my son and l actually cracked it (after
weeks of struggling)...

This mod let it know whic=h row was last worked on...
hRow = Sheets(sSheetOne).Cells(2, 9).Value + 2

This mod made it add the total found to the original total..
ActiveSheet.Cells(sRow, (8 + lx)).Value = ActiveSheet.Cells(sRow, (8 +
lx)).Value + lHits(lx)

Really glad its working now... but thankyou very much for your offer
to help, very much appreciated.....
