You are solving a spreadsheet benchmark task in a real workbook. Objective: Produce the correct final workbook state for the expected answer region. What matters: - Only the values in the expected answer region will be graded. - The workbook is the answer. Instructions: 1. Read the workbook and inspect the relevant data region first. 2. Infer the required result for the provided workbook instance. 3. Write the final value(s) directly into the expected answer region. 4. Do not rely on prose, formulas in your chat response, pseudocode, or VBA as the answer unless the benchmark explicitly requires those to be written into cells. 5. If the natural-language task asks for a general method, formula, or macro, convert that into the concrete result needed for this workbook instance. 6. Keep your final text response short and only summarize the workbook cells you changed. Relevant data region(s): A1:B9 Expected answer region(s): 'Delete'!A1:B9 Expected answer sheet(s): Delete Task: I created a macro to delete rows in which specific conditions are met in a particular column. The macro operates properly with small datasets but becomes very slow with larger ones. Is there a way to improve or modify the macro to speed up the process? Here is the code for the macro I'm using: Sub Delete_rows() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Application.DisplayAlerts = False Dim sh1 As Worksheet Dim lastrow As Long Dim i As Long Set sh1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Delete") lastrow = sh1.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row For i = lastrow To 2 Step -1 If sh1.Cells(i, "B").Value = "STATIONERY" Or sh1.Cells(i, "B").Value = "VEGETABLES" Then sh1.Cells(i, "A").EntireRow.Delete End If Next i Application.ScreenUpdating = True Application.DisplayAlerts = True End Sub
