I have 3 UDFs that I created as Excel addins. They are all loaded at run time,
but the first two return the #NAME? error when I try to use them... The third
(Age3) works fine...
Function Age(DoB As Date)
Age = Int((Date - DoB) / 365.25)
End Function
Function Age2(DoB As Date)
Age2 = Int((Date - DoB) / 365.25)
End Function
Function Age3(DoB As Date)
Age3 = Int((Date - DoB) / 365.25)
End Function
Although I'm able to write UDFs and distribute addins, one thing I've found is that if you use a UDF formula on a sheet on one machine, save it, then open it on another, Excel doesn't automatically look in the local .xla for the formula. In fact it tries to find it on the network (expecting to locate the originating user's machine, I suspect) and then throw a strop....

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a column J that is named Premium. If I use the function =INT(Premium) in K4 then it returns the integer for the value in J4. If I do the same thing with a UDF then the function argument receives all the values in column J. The author of the function says this is how UDFs work by design. Is there a way to use defined names with UDFs and have it work the way it does with built in functions?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a addin that contains user defined functions. I am using the MacroOptions command to assign the functions to categories. The addin loads without any problem in Excel 2003. In Excel 2002 and Excel 2007 Beta, if I open Excel and load the addin using the menu the addin loads OK. But when I try to open Excel with the addin already installed I get the following error message: Run-time error '1004':
Method 'MacroOptions' of object'_Application' failed. how to aviod this error message in Excel 2002 and Excel 2007 Beta?
When I Step through (Using the f8 Key) the below code -- Comments Explain my problem/Question
Code:
Sub SetUpTable()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual ' Without entering this line the Macro in the next line or two), jumps to and begins running a UDF in a VBE ADDIN

For TheYear = 1 To 5
Cells(1, TheYear + 1).Value = 1990 + TheYear
[Code]....
Windows 7, Excel 2010
I have an add-in with UDFs. I want explanation of the function arguments in the function wizard and also be able to click for Help in the wizard. So I register the functions like this:
Application.MacroOptions macro:=Range("afsfunctienaam")(i), _
Description:=Range("afsfunctiebeschrijving")(i), _
Category:=Range("afsfunctiecategorie")(i), _
HelpContextID:=Range("afshelpcontextid")(i), _
HelpFile:=HelpPad, _
argumentdescriptions:=Sheets("afsnederlands").Range(Paramtabel)
Where Param is the address of an array with argument descriptions, as text (like "A1:A4").
If I run the xlsm file, it works fine.
But if I load the xlam file in the add-ins dialog, the path to the Help file seems to be lost; I get directed to Excel's general online Help. The explanation of the arguments still work. Probably because they are already in the registry. But shouldn't the Help path be held in the registry as well?
I have been asked to look at moving a very large set of pricing sheets from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003. In the progress of this I have found that the functionality for a UDF in a cell to change/recalculate any other cells has been removed in Excel XP, whereas it was available in Excel 2000. The amount of work required to refactor the code is very large, and before starting on it it would be good to find out if there is a workaround.
The Sheet works in the following way:-User enters values, clicks a button to run a Macro,-Macro calculates all the ranges required to return a price-In many of the cells it is calculating are Functions which go and look at a large number of cells to calculate the price, sometimes writing to other Cells and sometimes having to recalculate other cells-As it is such a large sheet we can't simply calculate all cells before we tell it to price, as they are not all needed and so aren't calculated unless needed for performance reasons.It would be a lot of work to move the functionality from the Functions to the initial macro call, though this would solve the problem. Is there any other workaround?Macro security is set to low.The Errors I receive are the following:The UDF will hit a line like Range("DataRange").Calculate and this will raise a "Calculate method of Range class Failed" error. If it hits a line like Range("DataRange").Value = 1 this will raise a "Application-defined or object-defined error"If it hits a line like ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="This_Name", RefersToR1C1:="=Sheet1!R8C2" then it also raise a "Application-defined or object-defined error".Any of these run from a UDF in Excel 2000 works.I have a sample workbook if this isn't clear
Error Check Marco.xlsm
see attached example. I am trying to write an error detection routine that iterates through worksheets that have numeric values for names (ignore text names or alphanumeric). Macro checks range on each numeric worksheet E3:E33 and is supposed to report back on the SummarySheet if any value other than 1 or 0 is found in range E3:E33 on any numeric-name worksheet. Code as follows:
[Code] ....
Problem is that it just reports EVERY worksheet as having an error when clearly most don't (none do I think in the attached example).
Try changing some of ranges E3:E33 to values other than 1 or 0, it still reports all sheets. Why the macro does not evaluate the range E3:E33 properly and just reports every worksheet as having an error?
See the attached sheet. I am trying to add together two figs which are linked to calculations which have formula built in to stop error messages when there is a 0 / 0 = #value type error. However when these two cells are added, if the cells are blank I get an error message. And if only one cell has a value, I get "" with my existing formula. what I need to do to get a result of 7 if for example cell A4 = "" + B4 =7. At the moment my formula shows "" in the sum total of these cells
View 5 Replies View RelatedOK, so I have a userform with some text boxes that I have specially formatted to accept only date values in the form of mm/dd/yy. By default they are blank. I have a check in one of my codes that looks like this
Code:
If DateBox vbNullString And DateValue(DateBox) > checkdate Then
M1 = "NEOPRENE" & Chr(13)
Else
M1 = "" & Chr(13)
End If
Where DateBox is this specially formatted TextBox and checkdate is a future date being checked against.So if DateBox has a value in it AND that value is greater than the date being checked against the returend string is Neoprene, otherwise it is blank.
Well the problem I have is when the first condition returns FALSE, i.e. when DateBox is empty, the DateValue half still gets evaluated and returns a type missmatch error or something like that because DateValue("") returns an error. I have line of code 8 times, one for Neoprene, squeegee, etc. So the name of the text boxes are each unique and I am using M1, M2, M3, etc.
For other reasons, use of "On Error Resume Next" doesn't work for this situation because it causes a result opposite to what I want to happen.
the if stattement works perfectly and does exactly what i want except when it comes to the else part. if there is no error the statements are run perfectly but if there is an error (in this case the error is generated when a match cannot be found in the spreadsheet) the else statement doesnt kick in and post the msgbox.
the code just crashes. and returns an error 1004 on the line i have highlighted in yellow
res = WorksheetFunction.Match(invvar, Columns(1), 0)
If Not IsError(res) Then
Me.txtClientID.Value = ws13. Cells(res, 7)
Me.txtNumber.Value = ws13.Cells(res, 7)
Me.txtDate.Value = ws13.Cells(res, 8)

I am trying to run create a simple macro that copies and paste special values - something I have done 100's of times but for some reason I keep getting an error message - even though I recorded the macro and didnt write it by hand - see below:

selection.Copy
selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub

I have some code that, although works fine in Excel 2003, does not in Excel 1997. I receive this error when I try running it:
COMPILE ERROR:
NAMED ARGUMENT NOT FOUND
Sub HPVAL()
Dim r As Range, myStr As String
myStr = "HP"
Set r = Cells. Find(What:=myStr, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
r = r.Value
While Not r Is Nothing
Set r = Cells.FindNext(r)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
r = r.Value
End If
Wend
End If
End Sub
It looks like Excel is getting hung up on the "SearchFormat:=" portion of the code.
So the issue I am having is that I have a worksheet with two long rows of value. If the user enters the incorrect value, the program gives a error case of 1004. If and when this error occurs I want the program to send a MessageBox to the user then end the program. The problem that I am running into is that whenever I write On Error Goto... It Goes to the label whenever any runtime error occurs. My belief is that there has to be a way to only check for a runtime error on a single line of code rather than the entire sub.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have written a Excel (2003) that searches a worksheet for a string in any cell. If the string is not found, it uses the 'On Error GoTo' command to jump to a given label. It works fine on the first string not found. When it searches for the next non-existent string, it fails with:
'Run-time error '91':
Object variable or With block variable not set'
Do I have to clear a buffer after each cells.find search?

I am looking for a more efficient way to write a macro (a sample from the macro is below). This is just the first part of the macro. I need to repeat these same steps (seen for row 5 below) for rows 5 to 50. My script worked until I hit row 35 and then I got the "compile error.." message. There must be a way to use "loop" to write this more efficiently, no?
View 14 Replies View Relatedwhether I can handle errors in a way that tells me which object caused the error?

the spreadsheet needs to be copied to a directory called "C:downloads" as it contains a ODBC query to itself (In reality, this is a query to an External Oracle Database)
On loading, it should pop up a simple userform, with a combo and two command buttons, which when pressed takes you to a (hidden) tab that displays a pivottable.
All works well until I try to close /save when 60% of the time, Excel encounters problems and closes and will not load up the file the next time until either quit excel or disable macros. Messages include "file/path access error", "I/O Error" or get restarts excel.
On a casual run through, I expect you might report back that "All worked ok for me". Please can you give it a bit of a thrashing, comment out the userform show, save the file (frequently) becuase i assure you it will break ultimately!
This is a brand-new file and I've tried it on about 5 different PC running different versions of Excel and generally get the same result.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a very simple spreadsheet that generates a "backing page" for items to be physically pasted to (essentially nothing more than printing a header). I have the following code under "This Workbook" to avoid being prompted to save changes when closing, as this spreadsheet is just a template and changes should not be saved...
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveWorkbook.Close False

The code does as is intended, but, if any other spreadsheets are open at the same time, I get an error message pop-up saying "EXCEL has encountered an error - an error log has been generated"... Excel then shuts down. So, first question; where should I look for the error log?
