    Ravindu94 Had a quick look at your set of macros. I suspect that many of them are straight recordings without any clean-up performed. I notice numerous unnecessary scroll commands, select something, do nothing, select something else, format something and then format the same selection again etc. It really needs cleaning-up. Can't really test any of it, as you link to files on your own system.

     

    The button on your first sheet starts up a sub called "CommandButton1_Click()". I've inserted the code I suggested in my previous post. You'll need to copy the Statusbar piece before each of the following calls and increase the step number by one (I've done two for you). Note that the Statusbar gives visual feedback in the bottom left-hand side of the screen.

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    
    Application.Screenupdating = False
    
    GetFile1
    
    Application.Statusbar = "Step 1 of 22 completed"
    
    Macro1
    
    Application.Statusbar = "Step 2 of 22 completed"
    
    GetFile2
    Macro2
    Macro3
    DeleteBlankRows
    Macro4
    Macro5
    Macro6
    Macro7
    Macro8
    Macro10
    Macro11
    GetFile2
    Macronext1
    Macronext2
    Macronext3
    Macro1next
    Macro2next
    Macro3next
    Macro4next

    Application.Screenupdating = True
    
    End Sub

    If you insist on using a UserForm, use Google to find detailed instructions. It's not something I'm familiar with. Sorry!
