Hello Petr, After your message, I finally decided to have a look in my script and to modify the functions. There is no more loop on rows and functions calling functions. I now use new functions applied on complete columns and I also use your 'matrix' tip (Very useful).
Result: with the old script : 340000 rows in around 10 hours (then I stopped) with the new functions : 2500000 rows in 50 seconds Again thank you for your comment !!!!
