Cannot Set Listindex Property!


For some reason my selection won't return to where it's supposed to in a listbox after I've increased it's column widths. It's very strange.

I've put together an example of the issue as the actual workbook is enormous, but the demonstration seems to work.

I've tried exporting the Listindex resetting code to an external function, but it didn't help either.

Can anyone understand this behaviour?

Unable To Set Formula Property Of Series
I went through a lot of threads in this forum, although there were a couple relating to the same problem am facing, they didnt solve my error .. so here's my question again ..

When am trying to delink charts , i get an error stating "Unable to set the formula property of series class".

The code is as follows :

Sub DelinkChartData()

Dim iCtr As Integer, iChars As Integer, SH As Shape, iPlotOrder As Integer
Dim nPts As Long, iPts As Long 'Holds the total no of points in the chart
Dim xArray, yArray, sChtName As String, sSrsName As String
Dim xVals, yVals
Dim ChtSeries As Series ' var used to loop thru the series collection
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim sChartType As String, iCtr1 As Integer

Unable To Set The Orientation Property Of The PivotField
I want the data field to change to a different field when a command button (cmd_view) is clicked. So when the command button has a caption of "Toggle to Feeds", the code changes the field from Sqm to Feeds, and changes the caprion on the command button to "Toggle to Sqm". When this is next clicked, the fields are swithed over, and the command button caption changes relative to it.

The code I have written is below:

The problem I have is when the code changes the view from feeds to Sqm, it works fine, but when the code changes from Sqm to feeds, it crashes out in the true part of the If statement on the code line ".orientation = xlhidden" with the error "Unable to set the Orientation property of the PivotField class".

As the code for the change of view is the same, apart from the field names, I am at a loss on what is the cause.

I have tried to record a macro to see if the field names appear differently, but they do not.

Sub Tog_pivot()

Dim Toggle As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Toggle = Sheet5.cmd_View.Caption

If Toggle = "Toggle to Feeds" Then
'switch view from Sqm to Feeds
Range("F12").Select
' hide existing field
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Pivot_forecast_old").PivotFields("Sum of Sqm")
.Orientation = xlHidden
End With
' Create & display new field "Feeds"......................

Unable To Set The Xvalues Property Of The Series Class
For the last day I have been getting the following error: "Run-time error '1004': Unable to set the Xvalues property of the series class."

The archetecture of the marco is sound being that I have used this methology in another macro and it works correctly every time. The XValuesand Values range are also correct and I know this because I had the macro select the data cells and it does this correctly as well. The data for simplicity at the moment has no empty cells or abnormal data. The data cells are all filled with some kind of data. For the XValue Range the data would look something like "2070087 4/27/2007" and the Values range is filled with a number between 0 and 100. What I can't figure out is why it crashes with a valid establish range. I highlighted the lines it crashes on in read, they are near the bottom.

Unable To Set The Visible Property Of The Worksheet Class
I've been using the following code successfully for years. Today I would get the error 1004:Unable to set the visible property of the worksheet class. All my searches came up with someone not realizing they had protected the workbook. As you can see, the first thing I do before trying to set the worksheet visible is to unprotect the workbook. In frustration and on a lark I tried .Sheets("items").Visible = True and it worked. These kind of intermittent errors in Excel VBA are very frustrating. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Set Control Visibility Based On Tag Property
I have a userform which uses the tag property of the frame to determine whether a frame is visible (and hence the controls that reside within the frame). A frame contains three combo boxes, and six text boxes. The tag property of the frame matches the number of frames that are visible on the form, so that if the user selects five frames, frames 1 through five become visible and for all other frames visible = false. A frame contains all the data for a single entry. There can be up to fifty frames/ entries that are visible on the form depending on the user selection.

I want to use the visibility property to do two things: first the combo boxes are filled from an array after the user selects the number of frames (or entries). I only want to fill the comboboxes where the frame is visible. The second thing is that I have a function which uses the data from the text boxes and combo boxes as required arguments. Since these are required arguments, I will get a data mismatch error if I try to call it and the controls are empty. Therefore, I only want to call the function if the frame which houses the controls is visible.

Public Sub Visible1(Entry As String)
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In UserForm2.Controls
If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag <= Entry Then
With ctrl
.Visible = True
End With
Else
If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag > Entry Then
With ctrl
.Visible = False.............

Set Variable To Forms Control & Get Value Property
How do I reference a spin button from a variable that I set.

e.g

Dim objSpn As Object
Dim y As Integer

Set objSpn = ActiveSheet.Shapes("spnWCDate")

y = objSpn.Value

This doesn't work, but hope it explains what I want. It's so I dont have to write the whole object name each time I reference it.

ADDED: I've just noticed that this doesn't work even i do reference the object with the full name. I copied this from a forms spin control that I was using, why can't i store the value of the spin button in a variable?

Pivot Chart Error: Unable To Set The _Default Property Of The Pivot Item Class
I have created quite a nice little macro that;
drills through a lot of key figures, updates a pivot chart and copies the chart to powerpoint.

However it crashes on one particular data set every time with this error:
Run-time error '1004':
Unable to set the _Default property of the pivot item class

The code where the debugger stops is the last line below here.

lngKpi = Sheets("Helpfile"). Cells(lngRow, 2)
Sheets("Charts").Select
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("DK").Activate
ActiveChart.PivotLayout.PivotTable.PivotFields("KPI # (overall").CurrentPage = lngKpi

I can manually change the pivot chart to the keyfigure it crashes on and thereby workaround the problem in the macro. Also it works for more than 50 other keyfigures without problems.

Listbox Returns Same Listindex For Duplicate Bound Column
I have a listbox on a form that refers to a dynamic range. The problem I have is that the listindex returned from selecting an item in the listbox returns the same number for an entry of the same value in the first bound column (in this case Col A, see below). I guess it's kind of acting like a primary key if.

My Dynamic Range that shows up In the listbox.
Col A Col B
0700 1500 '<-- returns Listindex = 0
0700 1800 '<-- returns Listindex = 0
0800 1630 '<-- returns Listindex = 1
0800 1830 '<-- returns Listindex = 1

Usedrange Property
macros in excel XP.

I written up a marco code to do series of calculations for me. I have one program that will use different matrix size (say 5 rows by 5 colums for one set of calcuations and open up another, but with 105 rows and 35 columns)

Now,
the way it works is the user input data in row 1 and column 1 and the marco does the following codes-

Dim numrows As Integer
Dim numcols As Integer

numrows=worksheets("template").usedrange.rows.count
numcols=worksheets("template").usedrange.columsn.count

thisworkbook. names.add "matrix",,,,,,,,"=!r2c2:r" & numrows & "c" & numcols

this code defines my range that will be used in the formulas further down the code.

the problem is that I test ran the code using the matrix=b2:ai105
and I was using the code for a run with matrix=b2:q77

but the code is giving me the range from the previous macro run (ie. b2:ai105) and want it to use the matrix based on new data size (say b2:q77).

I tried using activesheet.usedrange into the macro, but it does not work.

Basically I need to "reset" usedrange property so it uses the correct range every time.

ComboBox Error :: Invalid Property Value
I am trying to get a combo box to work, but keep encountering the error "Invalid Property Value."

When the combobox entry is deleted and the user moves to the next text box in the userform, this error pops up which is very annoying. It also pops up when the word entered doesn't match, like it is supposed to.

I have MatchRequired set to True, because I want an error message to come up, but with my own error message like " That name doesn't exist, please try again ".

I can't figure out a way to ignore the "Invalid Property Value." error message, and show my own customized message.

Property Management Availability Calculator
I am working on a Property Management spreadsheet to track the availability of vacant units (and upcoming vacant units). I'm trying to write a formula to count the number of current units that are listed as vacant, so that I can ultimately report on the overall unit availability as of any given period (today, 15, 30, 60, 90-days out). All of the data in this spreadsheet is dynamic and each field can change at any time. There are also a lot of blank fields as well. I am using Excel 2003.

Here are the fields/data that I am using for my analysis:
Column A - (Reporting Period Dates): A2 = 5/20/08, A3 = 6/5/08, A4 = 6/20/08, etc.
Column B - (Unit Status: V=Vacant, O=Occupied): B2 = V, B3 = V, B4 = V, B5 = V, B6 = V, B7 = V, B8 = O, B9 = O, B10 = O, B11 = O, B12 = O, B13 = O
Column C - (M/O Date. These dates represent when the current resident will move out) - Cells C2:C13 contain dates for when each tenant will move out
Column D - (M/I Date. These dates represent when the future resident will move in) - Cells D2:D13 contain dates when the future tenant will move in

If my reporting period is 5/20/08 (cell A2), then I need to calculate how many Vacant units (B2:B13) I will have as of 5/20. The formula will need to count all of the current Vacant units (B2:B13), plus it will also have to take into account any Move Outs (C2:C13) during the reporting period. For example, let's say we have an Occupied unit that is scheduled to move out on 5/15/08. The cell will show this as "O" but the formula will need to determine if the M/O date is <= the Reporting Date of 5/20/08 (A2). If so, then Excel would count this unit as a Vacant for the period.

In addition to this, I also need the formula to look at upcoming Move IN dates (D2:D13). The formula will also have to determine if the MI date is <= the Reporting date (A2). If the MI date falls prior to the Reporting Date, then this unit should be considered as Occupied and should NOT be added to the total available units. NOTE - there are quite a few cells in column D that are blank and don't have MI dates. If there isn't a MI date, then the formula should assume that those units are Vacant if it is past the prior tenants MO date.
I'm assuming that Excel can handle multiple conditions like this, however, I am not smart enough to figure it out.

Combobox Match Entry Property
I have a ComboBox (cmbJobNo) in excel which lists a series of numbers. By using the code below other TextBoxes are automatically filled with related text once the ComboBox number is selected.
On typing a number in the ComboBox the number is predicted, which is great except when a number is not sequential. Say the number is 15304 (the next number in list is 15315), when 1530 is entered, 15304 is predicted and VBA jumps to the next data entry Textbox, the data entry person then enters 4 (they type a lot faster than me, without looking), which is incorrect for that box.

VBA does not allow the complete number to be entered. If I turn off MatchEntry the other related textboxes txtClient and txtProject) do not automatically update when number is entered.
What can I do to allow complete number to be entered and related Textboxes updated after number entry?


Private Sub cmbJobNo_Change()

If cmbJobNo.ListIndex > -1 Then
txtClient = Format( Range("Jobs").Cells(cmbJobNo.ListIndex + 1, 2), "0") ...............

Legend - Position Property In 2007
I have a 2003 vs. 2007 problem that I've spent a week or so trying to resolve, to no avail. I have created a fairly complex "dictator application" in Excel 2003. The application performs a bunch of calculations, and stores this inforamtion in a template workbook. The template itself contains one worksheet (to hold the data), and twelve empty "chart-sheets" which I later use to create plots. Of course, everything works fine and life is good in Excel 2003.

Flash forward two years, and half of my company is running 2007. When a 2007 user fires the plot creation routine, he is greated with a lovely error message (# 2147467259): "Method 'Position' of object 'Legend' failed".

Here's the full procedure I'm running to create the plots and position the legends:

Function bChartSumFileData(ByVal lTotalPlots As Long)

Const sSOURCE As String = "bChartSumFileData" 'Procedure Name (error-handling)

Dim bReturn As Boolean
Dim i As Long, j As Long, lNumSeries As Long
Dim sTemp As String, sPlotSetting As String

Dim chtTemp As Chart
Dim wksData As Worksheet, wksInfo As Worksheet
Dim serTemp As Series
Dim uSettings As CHART_SETTINGS
Dim vaPlotInfo As Variant

Obviously, lots of custom functions here; I'm also using a custom "type" to store chart settings (which I read from a *.txt file in a separate function). However, as far as the Legend goes, it shouldn't make a difference with the above code. When I stop execution after the error and look at the template workbook, the chart is created just fine, and the legend is visible, so I'm not sure why the error is occuring. Even better, the number of charts created prior to erroring-out is not fixed: sometimes the error occurs on the first plot, sometimes on the third, etc.
