excel-vba Debugging and Troubleshooting Use Timer to Find Bottlenecks in Performance
Example
The first step in optimizing for speed is finding the slowest sections of code. The Timer VBA function returns the number of seconds elapsed since midnight with a precision of 1/256th of a second (3.90625 milliseconds) on Windows based PCs. The VBA functions Now and Time are only accurate to a second.
Dim start As Double ' Timer returns Single, but converting to Double to avoid
start = Timer ' scientific notation like 3.90625E-03 in the Immediate window
' ... part of the code
Debug.Print Timer - start; "seconds in part 1"
start = Timer
' ... another part of the code
Debug.Print Timer - start; "seconds in part 2"
