Out Of Memory Excel
I am running VBA code on a large spreadsheet. How do I clear the memory between procedures/calls to prevent an "out of memory" issue occurring? Thanks excel vba memory share|improve this question asked Jan 18 '13 at 10:32 Marc L 2783820 1 Its likely that you need to look at the structure of your VBA, and particularly any very large arrays/strings it might be working with - break these down into batches excel vba memory management to limit the total usage of memory by your code at any one time. –Jon Egerton Jan 18 '13 at 10:34 Release Variant, Object whenever possible (Erase, Set object = nothing) . ReDim them to a more reasonable size, loop them in buffer size. But most probably reason is the spreadsheet too large (check in task manager if it's taking >500M RAM before running any macro) . You may want to open a read-only spreadsheet, remove all unused Sheets ( This will free a lot of memory) –Larry Jan 18 '13 at 10:37 You should show the code which is causing the problem. –Tim Williams Jan 18 '13 at 15:54 You could use 64bit office to get round the issue temporarily but you still need to address the problem like mentioned my most people. –Dreamwalker Jan 24 '13 at 14:20 2 You might not even be having memory issues - I've encountered VBA reporting "Out of Memory" errors, when the root cause was a function in an add-on DLL I had written raising an exception, thinking VBA would report that to the user. Apparently "Out of Memory" can also be VBA's way of saying "I don't know WTF to do about this"! –Loophole Jul 21 '14 at 3:00 add a

Currently, the saved spreadsheet is about 76MB, and pretty much all of it gets read into arrays in memory for various manipulations. At times, I get Visual Basic "out of memory" error messages, out of memory and when I use the Application.MemoryUsed and Application.MemoryAvailable functions, I show about 1,000,000 bytes available and about 84,000,000 bytes used. At the same time, though, when I use Ctrl-Alt-Delete to look at my SYSTEM memory, I have lots free... Excel is using about 500 MB, and I have over that much physical memory showing as available (I have 2GB ram on the computer). So I'm thinking that there's a limit in Excel that I'm really close to, 84,000,000 used and 1,000,000 available, and I start to write this post to see if there's a way to allocate more of my physical memory so that Excel can use it, since I'm not done doing all the things I want to do with this data. HOWEVER, when I try to generate the exact "out of memory" error by loading an older (but still large) version of the spreadsheet, to my surprise I do NOT get an out of memory error, but instead my "in use" memory in Excel shows 155,000,000+ bytes, and the "available" memory shows THE SAME 1,048,576 bytes available. Huh. Am I IN FACT close to any limits for memory, or will Excel actually use whatever the system has available and I'll only get errors when I have other programs in use hogging resources? Is Application.MemoryAvailable a bogus indicator? Should I be
Tech Support Guy, we highly recommend that you visit our Guide for New Members. Office 2007 VBA Out of Memory error Discussion in 'Business Applications' started by Saseow, Sep 4, 2009. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement Saseow Thread Starter Joined: Sep 3, 2009 Messages: 6 I am using Office 2007 Enterprise and I have never been able to go into the developers utilities. Excel gives an 'Out of Memory' error if I click the Visual Basic icon and the other Office applications just do not do anything. If I try to create a macro Excel gives me an 'Unexpected Error; quiting" error. I have reinstalled Office several times, searched the web and even tried Experts Exchange to try and find a solution but to no avail. I have tested my memory and all passes. I am hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction to find a solution. I think that it may be a memory conflict but I am not sure. If I start the OS in safe mode the error still persists. My system is as follows: XP Prof (sp3), 3gig memory on a Lenovo T60 Thinkpad. Hoping for some feedback! Saseow, Sep 4, 2009 #1 Sponsor Rollin_Again Joined: Sep 4, 2003 Messages: 4,875 Is the problem only affecting Excel or does it happen when you try to access the developer utilities in the other Office programs such as Word, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc. ?? Regards, Rollin Rollin_Again, Sep 4, 2009 #2 Rollin_Again Joined: Sep 4, 2003 Messages: 4,875 Please also check to see if the problem still occurs when you manually load Excel in Safe Mode. NOTE: Excel Safe Mode is NOT the same thing as loading Windows into Safe Mode. Regards, Rollin Rollin_Again, Sep 4, 2009 #3 Saseow Thread Starter Joined: Sep 3, 2009 Messages: 6 Hi Rollin, thank you for the reply. The hassle hits all Office applications. I cannot get into any of the developer stuff in Access, Word etc. etc. Only Excel gives the error message. The others just do n
