I'm having a few issues with a macro I have written (something I am relatively new to, I might add). Whenever I run it, I get an error message of "cannot complete this task with available resources" - I am currently using Excel 2003
What I am trying to do is cycle though a list of 401 vehicle numbers (the WBSs), using each individual WBS to filter data in another worksheet (sheet "MC01"), and then copy a range of this filtered data into a separate, vehicle specific worksheet (starting at sheet "P1" and continuing to sheet "P401").
The code would run fine when I kept the Field 9 Filter Criteria1 value a constant WBS number, but when I introduced the phrase to use the different values on the WBS sheet (Criteria1:="=" & WBS.Value), the macro would run perfectly for half the vehicles before giving the error message and bugging out.
I thought this could be solved by dumping the memory on each loop by using Set WBS = Nothing but this doesn't make any difference.
Code is as follows:
Sub Update_MC01()
Dim I As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("WBS").Select
Range("B2").Select
Set WBS = ActiveCell
Sheets("MC01").Select
Rows("1:1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Sheets("P1").Select
I understand that 401+ worksheets is a lot for any workbook to handle, but the fact that if I set Criteria1 as being a static WBS vehicle number Excel has no issues with it, and everything cycles fine. It is the addition of the phrase "=" & WBS.Value that causes the hiccoughs. From my very basic knowledge of VB, all I can assume is that Excel is storing this "WBS.Value" in it's memory on each loop. Am I right in thinking that the phrase Set WBS = Nothing is the right thing to use to empty this memory?
I am trying to copy 8 adjacent cells in a sheet and paste them on another sheet as a picture (using copy picture method). I could do that 3/4 times, but after that I started getting the insufficient system resources error.
I have the following code for a sheet in my workbook that has 3 charts:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("RdteObs").Chart.SetSourceData ThisWorkbook.Names("GSumRdteObs").RefersToRange ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("RdteWip").Chart.SetSourceData ThisWorkbook.Names("GSumRdteWip").RefersToRange ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("RdteExp").Chart.SetSourceData ThisWorkbook.Names("GSumRdteExp").RefersToRange Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic End Sub
but whenever the sub runs, I get this error message: "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications." Does anyone have an idea what's going on?
I create excel file to collect and process huge data , it contains a lot of macros , when i run it for more than 2 times error message appears " Excel cannot complete this task with available resources , Choose less data or close other applications''
And after i press ok it continue working but charts not updated until i restart excel , and if i restart excel every time i run this macro this error not appears.
How I can release excel resources when my macro finish it's work.
I currently have a macro that opens up a specific workbook, copies data from that workbook, and then pastes the data into the control workbook. I am using this macro for a few workbooks but for this specific file I am getting the "Excel lacks resources..." error. Even when I don't run the file and just try to open both files up at the same time I get this error. I realize the best solution would be to split up the file I am copying from but I don't wish to turn to that yet.
Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications. My file is only about 3mb in size, made up of 17 worksheets. These sheets are calculated by referencing to another file that contains all of the background data. The data file is also about 3mb, made up of 13 worksheets.
There are probably about 2 - 3 thousand formulas in the file in total, ranging including vlookups, sumifs, sumproducts, etc. When the data was contained within the file there was no problem. I moved each data sheet into a new workbook to trim the size of my file and also stop the incessant calculation and this is when the problem started. Now, when I open the file and am prompted to update, it will update to about half way and then throw up the error message!
I have a (few) spreadsheets that I am using to gather data. One spreadsheet has over 9000 entries with 20 items for each entry (9000 rows, 20 columns). I use this as my source. In another spreadsheet I have the same column headers but, except for the one column that I enter manually, the rest of the columns are loaded from the source spreadsheet via a VLOOKUP function. As you can see there is a lot of data and a lot of action going on. Needless to say I have run into a conflect with the amount of resources I have available. I keep getting the message "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications."
Since I have no other applications open, and I can't use less data, how can I increase my resources. I have been told that Excel allocates resources to a set limit regardless of the amount of ram or other memory you have. Is there any way to increase this?
I need to pull a data from 3 different SharePoint lists and present it in a new data sheet. So far I know how to create data connections and I am able to see everything in 3 different worksheets but in the same workbook. Also if we have the same Project and IT number we should pull information just from the SharePoint 1 list.
I would like to know where can I find a good resource to learn about VBA syntax. I have VBA books and there are some examples of code in there but when I'm trying to read someoneelse's code I just get into commands or syntax I don't understand. For example I would like to be able to go some site and decifer what this line (or it's parts) means: If(cnt < MAXTEST, sDigSep & String(MAXTEST - cnt, "9"), "")
i would like to find out about:The different essential building elements for different chart types (like 3DBubble requires XValue, Value, Name and BubbleSize, for example, but what about clusteredColumn and the others?)How to address the building elementsThe optional building elements (changing background color and stuff)
I need to work with a spreadsheet with 15000 rows of data. By the time I link this file with my final file and add formulas, my file has reached a massive size and the following pop up error message appears.
A pop-up window with the next message: "insufficient resources to show all" is displayed when I try to use a combobox in a worksheet.
Details:
I have been using excel 2003 in a Pentium IV 1 GB Ram to run a large workbook (at least 40 worksheets) that uses a combobox to find a price from a database. The workbook contains lot of images and some single macros.
The error appears after I opened the workbook and I tried to use the combobox. Finally, after various clicks, I get the value requested but the pop-up window doesn’t disappear.
If I do not use the combobox I do not receive the error.
Done:
I have done unsuccessfully all the suggestion that I found on the web (Google, msn and AltaVista), and of course the Microsoft forums. I tried to clean memory, erase temporary files, increase memory values and so on.. but nothing seems to fix the issue. I also tried to run the workbook in 3 different PCs – and 3 different RAM sizes - getting the same error.
I have a large spreadsheet that uses the lookup() to return data from two other large sheets.
The exact formula I am using is:
=IF(B1<>"",IF(ISERROR(MATCH(B1,'X:Store Users Data FilesPMMJim.FosterDATA[shop sheet data.xls]shop sheet data'!$A$1:$A$16374,0)),"NA",LOOKUP(B1,'X:Store Users Data FilesPMMJim.FosterDATA[shop sheet data.xls]shop sheet data'!$A$1:$A$16374,'X:Store Users Data FilesPMMJim.FosterDATA[shop sheet data.xls]shop sheet data'!$C$1:$C$16374)),"")
I have this same (or very similar) formula repeated about 3300 times in my main workbook. When I try to update links I get the following error. "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications." If I "Open Source" it will update the links but when I close the "Source" I get the same error..."Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications." The source will close eventually and my links have updated but I can not save the work book. Much smaller versions of the same sheet work fine. What is the limit number of such links?
Trying to insert a row and window popped out -Large Operation. " The operation you are about to perform effects a large number of cells and may take a significant amount of time to complete. Are you sure you want to continue?" I pressed ok , then, says "Excel cannot complete thsi task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications. "
i am looking to create a small table from the attached worksheet that will show how many users there are for 3 different locations, the user names are in column a and the locations in column c. the thing is, the actual worksheet i am using in work contains almost 1000 lines, and is being updated daily, there can be multiple entries for a person for projects etc.. and someone can even be in the availability and pto area's without being in the main project area. each resource can only be on one location so that will not change.
also, there can be blank cells for resource which should not be counted. i was wondering if there was a formula or a macro that would count the distinct number of names and reference them to the location and give a count of resources by location?
This works fine on small data sets, but on larger data sets it gives me the error message, "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources". This happens even when I try to do the deletion manually (without VBA code). Clearly, the code itself is not the problem.
My document has about 250,000 rows and 2,500 columns. While this is big, it is significantly smaller than Excel's documented limit of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns.
I am using Excel 2007. My computer has 2GB of RAM but even when I try it on a computer which has 8GB of RAM it gives me the same error. If I "ClearContents" instead of "Delete" it works fine. For my purposes, however, deletion is entirely necessary.
I have a spread sheet with 4 columns and 90,000 rows utilizing 4 "IF/THEN" logic formulas. I am getting a "not enough resources" message in Excel even though I have a top end laptop with all the ram and the biggest HD available.
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
OK, 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
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:
Sub Macro6() Cells.Select selection.Copy selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False End Sub
For which I get 'Compile Error - Expected Function or Variable'
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.
I 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?
whether I can handle errors in a way that tells me which object caused the error?
For example if a userform has two combobox's and one causes an error, can I return to a message box containing the name of the object (combobox1 or combobox2)?
I have tried returning err.source but I am either not using it correctly or it isn't intended to be used this way.
I'm getting the error for the following piece of code.
Sub itconfandscratch() Dim Cn As ADODB.Connection Dim Server_Name As String Dim Database_Name As String Dim User_ID As String Dim Password As String Dim SQLStr As String Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset Server_Name = "sturecord" Database_Name = "Scratch" ' Enter your database name here SQLStr = "SELECT stuname FROM dbo.sturec" ' Enter your SQL here Set Cn = New ADODB.Connection Cn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=" & Server_Name & ";Database=" & Database_Name & ""..............
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.
