Emulating Try / Catch Procedure In VBA
May 6, 2014
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?

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

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.

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 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'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.

I've been tasked with creating an updated booking system for a company which offers projects / services to the educational sector (UK Primary Schools.) I've done an alright job at augmenting their current Excel based system, but I would like to take it further so that the system is more all encompassing.
Currently, the booking form is filled in when a booking is made and the data from that is populated into their copy of the contract and our copy of the contract using simple "=" and to a certain extent, the text on the contracts is manipulated based on the booking form data using "IF" functions.
There is a basic macro which removes excess lines from the contracts if they aren't used, but that's about it. The difficulty we're having with the current system is that a lot of our projects are bespoke, happen over more than one date, and require a lot of manual manipulation in order to get them ready, which sort of defeats the object of having a 'clever' booking system.
I don't know very much about VB, but the sort of thing I would be looking to integrate is having drop down lists to select a 'project' which would load project-specific text into the contracts area. Also, instead of having to remove lines manually, I would like the data to be 'dropped in' creating rows as appropriate.

I want to catch an error and reset the entire code to the very beginning and skip that entire entry. When I use "Next fieldSheetName" I get "Next without For," error 1004. Searches tell me I have an open block somewhere, but that's not true. Removing that statement (and having the loop iterate as normal) has no error at all.
Dim employeeName As String
Dim fieldMax, x, y As Byte ' Counters mostly
Dim workedHours, fieldSheetName As Integer
fieldMax = 204 ' Row number to stop on in the field time sheet
row = 4 ' Row specification for field time sheet. Begin at row 4 to ignore headers
' and start on the first name. This should not be changed!
Col = 3 ' Start at column 3 then increase by one to start going to next time entry
' RESET HERE!
For fieldSheetName = 4 To fieldMax Step 8 ' This is our MAIN loop. It iterates from 0 to fieldMax, which is 204...........

I've created a macro with a custom dialog box, but I don't know how to make the transition from when I make the dialog box pop up, the user enters the information, then they click "Continue" or "Cancel" or whatever it may be, how to do I make it happen from there out?
Do I make the command buttons a boolean and if they click it's true? How do I make it work?

I need in column E the value "complete" but only against the last row of each system from column B, if column D ="draft del" and is not null. For example system V0523 is draft del and so is complete, therefore I would like "complete" in column E row 10.

I have a userform in an add-in (which is loaded), when I try and call it from an excel sheet, I get the following error "Variable not defined"
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
The code in the userform is all private subs.
Similarly when calling a public sub from the add-in such as;
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Call SillySub
End Sub
I get the error "Sub or Function not defined".
How should I be doing this?

how do you call another sub's function from another sub? For example:
Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
StartingDate:
Static STempHolding As String
If STempHolding <> "" Then OldStartingDate = STempHolding
STempHolding = Target.Value
EndingDate:
Static ETempHolding As String
If ETempHolding <> "" Then OldEndingDate = ETempHolding
ETempHolding = Target.Value
End Sub
If i just wanted to call the StartingDate function, from my Worksheet_Change sub how would i do that?

The code below is fired from a Worksheet Change Event on cell c18. The cell has a userform calendar control to select Date of Birth. What I want the code to do is check the age at the current date and if it is below 16 or over 25, then show the appropriate message. I cannot use data validation to not allow values outside this age range because there will be instances where a person's details can be added if their age is under 16 or over 25. I just need to alert the inputter in case they are unaware or have inputted incorrectly.
When the message box pops up, if they click Yes then the code should take them to the next cell for inputting. If they click No then it should stay in cell C18 and hopefully pop the calendar back up (I've not tested this bit yet).
The code as it stands brings up the "This person is under 16 years...." message no matter what date of birth is input.
VB:
Sub AgeValidation()
Dim age As Integer
Dim dob As Range
Dim AgeMsgAnswer16 As String
Dim AgeMsgAnswer25 As String
Set dob = Worksheets("Monitoring Form").Range("c18")

I have 2 workbooks open. In the workbook that I am working in I run a macro from a userform to copy a worksheet from the other workbook that is idle in the back ground. I also display another user form that says "please wait" while the macro is running.
The problem I have is even though screen updating is set to false the screen switches over to the other workbook while it is copying the desired sheet and switches back to the workbook I am copying to after the macro completes. Also the "Please Wait" userform disappears while the other workbook is displayed and reappears when the initial workbook returns.
Below is my code which works without issue but perhaps there's a better way to copy between workbooks that would prevent the screen changes?

If you run it type in 3.5. What gets returned from the procedure is the number 4 NOT 3.5. I think its related to the data type declaration but i thought a data type of long would include the number 3.5.

I need to extract the filename “My Excel File” from Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“A1”), whose value = C:Documents and Settingsuser1DesktopMy Excel File
I found on Chip Pearson’s site a Function TrimToChar which, using SearchFromRight and a TrimChar of “” will trim OFF the filename “My Excel File”, leaving the Path.
But, I think I could use his function to tell me the number of characters in the Path and then use that to extract the remaining characters from the total character length (Mid Function)
Problem is, I don’t have a clue how to call a Function in VBA to work on Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“A1”). How do you set the InputText , TrimChar, & SearchFromRight?????
(eventually, this will be in a loop, where I extract the filename from a Dynamic Named Range (list) in Column A)

I am getting an invalid procedure call when the portion of the code that has the ASC function runs. The only change I made to the workbook was to increase the available rows that this macro is totaling from 150 to 300. If I don't increase the rows I do not get the error.
What this code is doing is grouping information from 20 different sheets and totaling them and placing the total in the correct group. Most of the totals will begin with a number, however there will be a small amount that will begin with a letter. The items with letters need to be grouped in the 17000 category.
Dim c As Range
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range(Cells(3, "R"), Cells(lastrow, "R"))
For Each c In rng
If c < 20 Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "01000"
If (c > 19) * (c < 26) Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "02000"
If (c > 25) * (c < 161) Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "02600"
If c > 159 Then c.Offset(0, 1) = WorksheetFunction.Text(c, "000") & "00"
If Asc(Left(c, 1)) > 58 Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "17000"
If c > 170 Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "18000"
