How can I measure time more precisely in VBA

0 votes
I have several VBA scripts in an Excel sheet. It's difficult to measure times precisely with "Time." Exist other choices?

At the top of the script you can add this:

Private Declare PtrSafe Function get_frequency Lib "kernel32" _
      Alias "QueryPerformanceFrequency" ( _
      ByRef Frequency As Currency) _
      As Long
 
Private Declare PtrSafe Function get_time Lib "kernel32" _
      Alias "QueryPerformanceCounter" ( _
      ByRef Counter As Currency) _
      As Long

Then in your code, you can get high-precision time measurements like this...

' run this once
Dim per_second As Currency: get_frequency per_second

' ...

' get start time
Dim t0 As Currency: get_time t0

' HERE perform the operations you want to time 
' ...

' get end time
Dim t1 As Currency: get_time t1

' calculate high precision duration
Dim elapsed_millis As Double: elapsed_millis = (t1 - t0) / per_second * 1000#
