Error "information Specific To The Error Type" Checking Options Button
Feb 9, 2007
I have a relatively simple, though large, spreadsheet. I get the following in many of my cells: The Error Checking Options button is displayed and the cell itself. is marked with a small green triangle in the upper-left corner. When I click the button, the error type is displayed, followed by the following list of error-checking options:
information specific to the error type
• Show Calculation Steps: demonstrates all steps leading to the error
• Ignore Error: allows you to accept the formula as entered, without Excel displaying the Error Checking Options smart tag
• Edit in Formula Bar: allows you to edit the formula that is generating the error in the Formula Bar
• Error Checking Options: opens the Options dialog box, where you can select the rules governing error checking
• Show Formula Auditing Toolbar: displays the Formula Auditing toolbar
When I check the formula it calculates correctly. What triggers this when there is no error, is there a way to prevent it from appearing in the worksheet?
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?
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.
How can we "read" information from the VBE Error Trapping options (Break on All Errors/ Break in Class Module/ Break in Unhandled Errors) programmatically?
Background: I am developping a spreadsheet that needs to be sent around to distant users. Some of them might not have the default "Break on Unhandled Errors" setting), which would just make my programme fail or risk to fail...
This issue has been covered in the thread below, but the proposed solution doesn't work on my side (always returning the same output!): [URL] .....
Hint: it has been suggested to look into the registry, which the linked post does.
Ideally, I would love to be able to change the setting programatically, but that seem near to impossible in excel 2007 VBA (unless calling an external programme that closes and restarts excel after having changed the option?...)
I am trying to build a user form to find out the customers who purchase more than $1,000 during a certain period. The userform has two inputs:
One is to select the data range of customer information. Assume all customer information are in the cell A2: H10, how shall I write the error checking code if the user selects the range which is out of (A2:H10)? message box would be " You selection include invalid data, please check"..
The other input is called " Get data past this data", and I can enter a date in the following cell ( txtDate). Regarding the error checking, I am thinking to use IsDate() function to make sure it is a valid date. Will be there be any other error checking you will recommend?
I'm trying to add a little error handling in my code. I have a macro that, when running opens a number of workbooks. At the end of the macro, my code then closes all the workbooks I've opened.
I was wanting to create an error-handling procedure that displayed a message box, and then closed any workbooks that I've opened during the course of the macro. Obviously the error could trigger at any point, so not all workbooks may have been opened at the time
My code is as follows - I've tried On Error Resume Next in the error-handling code, but Excel still returns an error that it can't find the Incidents_MTD sheet when trying to close it.
Code: On Error GoTo ReportError code code code ReportError:
I'm trying to write a pretty simple macro which invokes a built-in DDE function to retrieve some data, then when the data is retrieved, just show a msgbox. When the data is finished being retrieved, cell(20,11) in the sheet "Historical Data" will automatically have "FINISHED" placed in it. So while the retrieval is taking place, I'm simply looping and checking the contents of this cell waiting for it to read "FINISHED". My problem is the 'Do While Sheets("Historical Data").Cells(20, 11) <> "FINISHED"' line generates a "Type Mismatch Runtime Error 13", which I can't for the life of me understand why.
I have a piece of VBA code that acts weird. For brevity I am doing a function call like this:
val=MyFunc( [D1] )
and
Function MyFunc(mean As Double)
D1 is a named range which is a single cell. It contains a double. The problem occurs when the value is zero, I get a type mismatch on the function call. If it is non-zero all is well.
What would cause this? I could see if zero was invalid inside MyFunc() that some calculation might blow, but it nevers gets into the function. Looks like the compiler is stopping it.
I have attached a sample file for you to easy reference. So when the code run until the loop function, it will prompt an error message.
The idea is to open the selected file and the copy the data from the selected to this master file by searching the column A. Column A has the identical text in all the files that are to be copied from.
I am trying to only have the option 1, 2, or 3 be entered. I have that part down, but if someone clicks cancel or just closes the input box i get the type mismatch I believe because no integer was found....is there a way around this?
Dim intResponse As Integer intResponse = InputBox("Choose One" & Chr(10) & Chr(10) & "1 - Lease Lock" & Chr(10) & "2 - Upgrade" & Chr(10) & "3 - Lease Lock & Upgrade", "Contract(s) sent out") If inResponse <> 1 Or strResponse <> 2 Or strResponse <> 3 Then MsgBox "Must choose (1,2,3)" Exit Sub End If
I get a "Type Mismatch Error". All the values in the range are numbers, and LINEST should return a double, so I am puzzled as to why there is a mismatch...
I have hardcoded the range into the formula just to try and get it to work. Eventually this will be two variables and will look like this:
I am using the code below but it is coming up with a type mismatch error message and I'm not sure why? how I can stop this?
Sub PhilsCode2()
Range("A3:AE382").Select Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 0 Selection.Font.Bold = True Selection.Font.Bold = False Range("A3").Select Dim myRow As Long Dim myValue As String
I keep getting this run time error when ever i edit cell on the worksheet that contains the following code. The italicized line is the culprit according tp the debug feature:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "I10" And Target.Value "O5:O9" Then ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("password") Rows("29:46").EntireRow.Hidden = True Select Case Target.Value Case "DEALER1" Rows("29:32").EntireRow.Hidden = False Case "VENDOR" Rows("29:39").EntireRow.Hidden = False Case "LQ" Rows("29:39").EntireRow.Hidden = False Case "78620" Rows("29:46").EntireRow.Hidden = False Case Else Rows("29:46").EntireRow.Hidden = True ActiveSheet.Protect ("password") End Select End If End Sub
This code came from the book, “VBA for Excel Made Simple” that I borrowed from the library. When I run the code, I keep getting the error message: Run-time error '13': Type mismatch.
The purpose of this form is to insert an extra row and add the representative name in the Rep Name list.
I have also attached the sample excel file and the explanation that came from the actual book.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() RepBox = "" SalesBox = "0" For Each Cell In Range("rep_name") RepList.AddItem Cell.Value Next End Sub
Private Sub AddButton_Click() RepBox.SetFocus With RepBox If .Value = "" Then MsgBox "Enter a name for the rep to be added" .SetFocus End If.............................
I can't understand why I am getting the above message on the code below. I have used it before in other spreadsheets with the same type of data.
Basically the macro should trim the data and get rid of any numbers at the start of the data (the data sometime has just a name other times it has a number then a name). In this case the data has 154 before the name. I am getting the above message on the section in Bold. As l is a string I would have though it could take both text and numbers. I have also tried it with Variant as the type and got the same result. I also dont't undertand why the error happens at this point rather than when Ls value is first determined.
Dim lastrowdatab, i As Long Dim j, l As String
lastrowdatab = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row For i = 4 To lastrowdatab j = WorksheetFunction.Trim(Cells(i, 29)) Cells(i, 29).Value = WorksheetFunction.Proper(j)
I am dimensioning my variable as a Date, which it is! But I keep getting this error.
Public TargetRow As Integer Sub InitializeTargetRow() TargetRow = 4 End Sub
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ' ColorIndex 43 is GREEN ' ' ColorIndex 3 is RED ' ' ColorIndex 6 is YELLOW ' ' ColorIndex -4142 is NONE ' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Sub HighlightRow()
I'm using this code to automatically change the format in column B and C depending on the currency selected in the corresponding cell in column A. USD, STERLING and EURO are custom styles I have created.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 1 Then If Target.Value = "USD" Then Target.Offset(0, 1).Style = "USD" If Target.Value = "USD" Then Target.Offset(0, 2).Style = "USD" If Target.Value = "STERLING" Then Target.Offset(0, 1).Style = "STERLING" If Target.Value = "STERLING" Then Target.Offset(0, 2).Style = "STERLING" If Target.Value = "EURO" Then Target.Offset(0, 1).Style = "EURO" End If If Target.Value = "EURO" Then Target.Offset(0, 2).Style = "EURO" End If
End Sub
I assume there is a better way to write this code but I can't do any coding, just copied it from the help I received Automatically change currency format.
Anyway, when editing more than one cell in column A, for example selecting two cells and pressing delete, I get the following error:
Runtime error nr 13: Type mismatch
(I think that is the correct translation from Swedish: "Körfel nr 13: Inkompatibla typer")
if there is any thing need to corrected please let me know i have read rules and tried to comply all
here is my question
I m receiving runt time error 13 type mismatch and could not resolve it till now. if some body can look into it and kindkly give some suggestions
Sub LineHours_Calc() Dim itms As Integer Dim qnty As Integer Dim upt As Integer Dim get1 As Integer Dim get2 As Integer Dim get3 As Integer Dim get4 As Integer Dim chg1 As Integer Dim chg2 As Integer Dim co As Integer Dim lhc1 As Integer Dim itm As Integer
error is in 3rd line in the inner for loop i pasted the line here as well (qnty = WorksheetFunction.Index(Range("board!$B$3:board!$DZ$500"), get1, get2)
in Master sheet i have defined values in list Column D & F
Column D has COUNTRY as heading and country Names below it
Column F has CITY and city list
I am column A i have 2 data list
as
COUNTRY CITY
I have dropdown in excel sheet (SHEET1) in Column K populated with data from MASTER in Column A ie city & country
When I select city i need Dropdown in column L to be populated with Citylist from MASTERS COLUMN F and if city seleced i need to get data from column D
I am attempting to concatenate several columns and I am getting the Type Mismatch error. I understand why I am getting this error, but I do not know any other way to accomplish what I am seeking.
I am getting a mismatch error on arrow pointed below. whenever a entered is then deleted in the cells i.e. H50 and H51. I've included the workbook here just in case. Is there a way to ignore error message so that it does not to show up??
