Catch/Trap Formula Errors
Sep 15, 2006
I am trying to find some solution on frequent errors , that come up when one copy, or drag formulae.
Sometime the error doesn’t appear on surface, but after digging you realize that some formula is not pointing to correct
cells.
I want to create a macro which will do following things :
1. It will go to each cell in the selected range, and compare the cell’s formula with that of the cell on its right and left.
2. If the formulae are not similar it should change the color of that cell.
Basically, I am trying to catch logical errors. However I don’t know how to approach this problem? Is there any in-built functionality in Excel that can do this task ?

I have the formula =today()-g3 which works fine to let me know how many days a loan has been out. However when there is no date in column g i get #value! errors. Can anyone reccomend an alteration to the formula to avoid these errors showing up as they dont look great.

I need a formula that will check a few things and if it finds an error the word error will appear in the cell, the details of which are in the attached spreadsheet.
I have worked on this a great deal and cannot seem to make a formula with the proper logic. There is a sample of an error in the spreadsheet.

Is there a way of hiding the #N/A which is returned as a result of a formula, but keep the formula in a cell so it may be included in a sum?

I have two columns that I want to compare - but one of them is the result of a VLOOKUP - so it may actually contain the #N/A error - how can I compare them so that:
if col 1 agrees with col 2, then "yes" is returned
if col 1 does not agree with col 2 but the VLOOKUP in col 2 has NOT returned an error (so it's still a valid comparison) then "NO" is returned
if col 2 shows a VLOOKUP #N/A error then "NO" is returned
or, perhaps more straightforwardly:
Col 1 = ABC, col 2 = ABC then return "YES"
Col 1 = ABC, col 2 = DEF then return "NO"
Col 1 = ABC, col 2 = #N/A then return "NO"

In a worksheet the data (text or numerical) from five columns are compared using the following formula.
=IF($A10$G10,"1ERROR",IF($B10$H10,"2ERROR",IF($C10$I10,"3ERROR",IF($D10$J10,"4ERROR",IF($E10$K10,"5ERROR","-")))))
The formula is working well. The problem is I get the result for the first column of error even if the error is in more than one column. I want the result should display all the errors with the column number 1, 2, 3 (or with column name A, B, C etc). The total number of error is not required. The exact columns which have the error should be displayed. For example if the error exists in 3, 4 and 5 columns, I should get the result as "345Error" or "CDEError".I use excel 2002.

the following two statements return the error "Application-defined or object-defined error"
Code:
Sheets("Purchase").Range("PurchaseTax").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-1]0,ROUND(RC[-1]/11,2),"")"
Sheets("Purchase").Range("FreightTax").Formula = "=IF(FreightCharge0,ROUND(FreightCharge/11,2),"")"

I have a formula I've been using for a long time which uses VLOOKUP to find results based on various reference cells, and then adds them up. To avoid errors caused by VLOOKUP not finding anything for one of the references I have also used ISERROR. The formula returns a blank if the calculation returns a zero.
I now need to bring further references in to the calculation but, using the format I have been, the formula is now too long. Here is my extensive formula:

I am looking to freeze row 18 in an excel sheet, however in doing so this really limits the amount of rows below row 18 that can be viewed and scrolled through.
I would like to know if there is any way that you could freeze row 18 and when you scroll down on the worksheet, you can scroll down past rows 1-17 and when row 18 reaches the top row it would lock there? And you would then be able to continue scrolling down the worksheet beyond row 18..

I want to catch if the user has deleted a row. There is a need to know when a row is deleted and what the data was in that row. So, what I'm trying to do if a row is deleted is to undo the action and then change the font of all data in that row to have the strikethrough effect. This will enable others looking at the workbook to know that the information in the row existed but is no longer relevent.
So, the code is something like this:If row deleted Then
Application.Undo
Target.Font.Strikethrough = True
End If

How would I trap the escape key being pushed while in a comment box?
In case user accidentally modifies comments box and they do not wish to save the changes. Pushing escape will save changes, which I do not wish to do.
This thread is closest code I found, but I do not know how to adapt it for the comment box.

When the user scrolls the worksheet (using a scroll wheel, or the scroll bars) I would like to have a VBA-code triggered, but in Excel 2003 there is no "VBA-event" for scrolling...
Is there any way of trapping that a scroll has happened, even if the selection didn't change?

The error trap does work when there is an error, but it also runs at the end of the code when there isn't an error... I'm not sure what I've done wrong. When I test with data that is correct, it still runs through the code when it gets to the bottom. Have I put the error trap in the wrong place?
I have put in bold the section of the code with the error trap.
Option Explicit
Const TargetDB = "Group Life Pricing Tables v0.1.accdb"
Sub HMUK_Val()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'define variables to be used in the process
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim fld As ADODB.Field
Dim sSQL As String
Dim SchemeInfo As Integer
Dim CurrentAge As Integer
Dim CurrentRow As Integer
Dim CurrentSex As String
Dim Message
'check that Scheme data has already been entered
For SchemeInfo = 1 To 13
If Sheets("Working Info").Cells(SchemeInfo, 2).Value = "" Then
Message = MsgBox("Please ensure all Scheme information has been entered before processing member info", vbOKOnly, "Warning")
Exit Sub
End If
Next SchemeInfo

I have to create a formula to fine difference between 2 numbers.
There are columns A to Z.
Values will be populated in A1 to Z1. Sometimes the value will stop in between itself. For example H1.
So, I need a formula to catch the last populated cell (H1 in our case) and then find the difference between the value in its previous column.
H1-G1 should be the result I should get.

I have a VBA procedure in Excel that opens PowerPoint presentations and searches each slide for embedded objects, opens, and attempts to save the objects as separate files utilizing the following statement:
Shape.OLEFormat.DoVerb Count
Where Count is the "Open" verb. 90% of the time it works great but there are times where the object simply wont open so the application just stops. I don't get any errors so I don't see how I can trap for this incident.
What I would like to do is emulate something similar to C#'s Try/Catch function.
Is there a way to do something like this in VBA?

let's suppose I have a prefixed range like A1:A300 in which periodically I need to enter some records (normally numbers but also sometime blank cells - i.e. void no entries); so imagine you have an array of cells in which I want to catch by mean of a formula or a macro the last entered significative record (i.e. a number); the objective is obviously to catch the last significative record in that given range having numbers in it (i.e. leaving out any blank cells in between); no other clues to approach the problem are given: do you think it's possible to sort out somehow this tricky problem ?
example:
1
34
67
#
45
#
#
545
#
22
where # stands for blank cell
how to catch 22?

I've implanted data validation into some cells and I need to be able to catch any modifications to these cells. If the user change the value from A to B, I would like to trap this event using VBA. I've tried to record a macro, change the value of the cell using the data validation but unfortunately, it didn't generate any code at all.

Is there a simple way to trap mouse and keyboard events in Excel, only within a VB loop, and then return to normal behavior after exiting the loop? That is, I want to know if a key is pressed (and what key) or the mouse clicked and not have it affect the spreadsheet. I don't want the key pressed to type into the spreadsheet.

I am using the calendar control on a form of mine, which i believe requires ms access to be installed to use(from what ive read). This is fine as most of the PC's it will be run on have this installed. However if it is run on a PC that doesnt have ms access it gives me the "Could not load an object because it is not avaliable on this machine" and then "cant find project or library error". How can I trap this error ? Ive tries whe the workbook opens, and when the form initializes but it just brings up that error

I have a user form with a TextBox (TextBox1), the user enters a filename and presses CommandButton1, this then opens the file. I have set an error trap so that if the file does not exist a MsgBox prompts the user to re-enter. So far so good, however if the error trap operates any further files entered are declared as non-existent even if I know they exist. I thought this would be quite easy but once again VBA bites me back!!
here is my code
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
stPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
stFilename = "Retention" & "" & TextBox1 & ".xls"
stFullname = stPath & "" & stFilename 'completes full path of for TextBox1
On Error Goto Errorhandler: 'go to this if file does not exist
Workbooks.Open stFullname
ActiveWorkbook.RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen

I am using a TreeView control and need to determine if the user clicked on the Image or the Label of a node. The Hittest function can return either a TreeViewHitTestInfo object or a node. By default it returns the node. I'm not quite sure how to trigger the return of a TreeViewHittestInfo object, but at the moment I'm even struggling to make VBA aware of that class. A simple statement like
Dim info As TreeViewHitTestInfo
returns an error saying that TreeViewHitTestInfo is not defined.

Workbook A has VBA code. The VBA code opens a collection of 2000 workbooks. The workbooks are processed one at a time, with Workbook A opening Workbook B, do something, close Workbook B, get next workbook. Sometimes Workbook B has some kind of access issue that results in:
"[File Name] cannot be accessed. The file may
be read-only, or you may be trying to
access a read-only location. Or, the
server the document is stored on may
not be responding.
RETRY ... CANCEL"
If RETRY is clicked, the process returns the same message. If CANCEL is clicked, the process is crashed, Excel is closed, and all data processed is lost. What is the VBA syntax to programmatically trap this condition so it can be processed in an orderly manner?
