How can I make my code faster? (Copying columns)
I'm new to vba and wrote the code below to match and copy columns; I'm trying to figure out how to make it more efficient as it takes some time to churn out the output. Any advice or feedback would be much appreciated! I thought of switching screen updating to false but it doesn't really speed things up. Could it be slow because I am using the autofilter method of filtering cells? Thank you in advance.
Sub GetItems()
Dim cel As Range
Dim celAddress As Range
Dim n As Integer
Dim SelRange As Range
Dim BrandsPasteLoc As Range
n = 1
'Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Worksheets("CA").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$L$2622").AutoFilter Field:=10, Criteria1:="<>#N/A",
Criteria2:="<>0", Operator:=xlFilterValues
Worksheets("Items to push to CA").Activate
For Each cel In Range("A1:O1")
Brand = cel.Value
If Brand = "" Then
Resume Next
End If
Worksheets("CA").Activate
Application.Workbooks("Items Suggestion_CA").Worksheets("MY").Range("$A$1:$M$3959").AutoFilter Field:=5, Criteria1:=Brand, Operator:=xlFilterValues
Range("B:B").Sort _
Key1:=Range("b1"), Order1:=xlDescending 'sorts on Quantity
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Items to push to CA").Select
Set SelRange = ActiveSheet.Columns(n)
Set BrandsPasteLoc = Range(Range("A1:Z1").Find(Brand).Offset(1), Range("A1:Z1").Find(Brand).Offset(1).End(xlDown))
BrandsPasteLoc.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Worksheets(“CA”).Activate
n = n + 1
Next cel
Worksheets("Items to push to CA").Rows(2).Delete
Worksheets("Items to push to CA").Activate
Columns("A:O").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.AutoFit
Worksheets("Items to push to CA").Rows(60 & ":" &
Sheet1.Rows.Count).ClearContents
Worksheets("CA").Activate
Cells.AutoFilter
Worksheets("Items to push to CA").Activate
'Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

This question is more for Code Review but try adding Application.ScreenUpdating=False
when the sub starts and Application.ScreenUpdating=True
when tue sub ends

I didn't downvote, but the OP refers to screen updating not making any difference, oddly.
