Excel 2010 :: Error Handling Routine Which Stores Name Of File
Jun 3, 2014
I have written a VBA procedure which loops through excel files in an array: in turn it opens the file, refreshes the data, saves the file and closes. I would like to write an error handler which stores the file which errored (copied from the loop iteration) and the error description to an array. The error handler should then close the file and continue with the next iteration - e.g.
Code:
If ActiveWorkbook.ReadOnly Then
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Next i
*Although a generic if error may be better.
My idea is that all files which errored in some way will be stored in an array which I can automatically print/send to a user so they can manually figure out the problem. (This element falls outside the range of this query).
Below is a simple example of my efforts which only contains one file in the array to make things simpler: the error handler section won't work, it's just there to show my thinking
Code:
Sub Refresh_CRIS()
On Error GoTo Errorhandler
Dim routepath As String
routepath = "
chdfsSharedAreaPrivateTest"
ChDir routepath
[Code] ........
Errorhandler:
On Error Resume Next
Failed = Array(i)
If ActiveWorkbook.ReadOnly Then 'Just an example for testing
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Else
MsgBox "Pivots which failed to refresh:" & Failed '& ", ", 0, "Debug" 'Test with msgbox
End If
End Sub
I am looking to implement the "Compare Documents" function (available in Word 2010) in Excel 2010 through VBA programming between different text contained in two cells.
In Word this function works quite well (not perfectly), but it highlights in different ways which part has been deleted and which one has been added between an "original" document and a "revised" one.
For the nature of my job, I need to do this on a daily basis and I used to output text from Excel to Word, then compare the two text, and then copy it back to Excel.
Here comes the problem: since in Word the text is formatted (and what I'm looking for is formatted/highlighted text as output), I can't just paste it in Excel as it is: any editing, merging, splitting done on the pasted text (that eventually I need to do) makes the formatting disappear (above all with VBA functions, that can only output data and can't format it).
In other words: given two cells containing different text, I would like to be able to fill a third cell with text formatted accordingly to the TextDiff output between the two original cell.
E.g.: INPUT: Cells(1,1).Value2 = "my name is Andrea and I like jogging" (original) Cells(1,2).Value2 = "my name is Giovanni and I like running" (revised)
OUTPUT: Cells(1,3) wll contain: "my name is AndreaGiovanni and I like joggingrunning"
Obviously, since UDF doesn't allow formatting of cells, I would need to adjust the main Sub for each pair of document I have to revise, but that won't be the problem: what I need is the engine. It's been two years and a half that I do advanced VBA programming at work but it looks like I can't grasp the rationale behind the LCS algorithm.
I am trying to set public variables from an event handling procedure based in a worksheet so I can use that variable in a userform. Nothing I have tried works no matter where I declare the variable. I am using a msgbox to display the variable (a range) but it shows as blank regardless of whether I place the variable in a module, this workbook object or in the sheet object where the event code is placed.
I am sure there is a simple way to transfer variables from the sheet's code (where it must remain as the variable depends on the target cell's position that triggers the event).
I've got a file that works fine on my computer. When I email it to anyone with 2010 and they open it from their email account (Outlook 2010), the file automatically opens up in 'Protected Mode'. If the user selects "Enable Editing" the user receives 'Run Time error 91: Object variable or with block variable not set'.
If the user closes out the vba error and saves the file to their computer and reopens the file, it works fine.
BTW, it is not a complex macro, it is error out at
In Excel 2010, you can color a cell with a fill color and a font color.
It can be done manually via one of 3 methods that I know of (aside from a macro or a routine):
-From the ribbon button (underneath the font size and increase and decrease font size toolbar buttons)
-By formatting the cell (right clicking on a cell),
-Clicking on the ribbon's font section (giving you the same 6 category format cell box as right clicking on a cell)
What I need is a routine that resets the Fill Color and Font Color toolbar buttons to "No Fill" and "Automatic" if I run it inside a macro or create a command button on a 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?
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.
My current code opens a file ("Report01.CSV") from the directories in column A (one at a time), and copies data into sheet 2.
The problem is that sometimes there is no ("Report01.CSV") file in one or more of the directories.
What I would like to add is an error handler that would remove the directory (delete that cell) that caused the error and continue with the loop. I.e. resume importing data from the other directories.
CODE: Dim wrkMyWorkBook As Workbook Dim lngRow As Long: lngRow = 1 Dim lngColumn As Long: lngColumn = 2
Do Until Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & lngRow).Value = vbNullString Set wrkMyWorkBook = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & lngRow).Value & "" & "REPORT01.CSV") lngRow = lngRow + 1
The On Error GoTo works if there is only one instance of the text not being found but crashes if there is a second.
I have tried adapting code found here http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ght=cells.find but can't get it to work exactly as i would like. Here is an extract of my code. There are about 12 different cells.find in total.
I am writing a code in VBA using getpivotdata function. It is working fine untill the value does not exist.
Dim pt As PivotTable Sheets("Pivot2").Select Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1) Cells(2,1).Value = pt.GetPivotData("ID", "GCB", "1", "Gender", "F", "9 box Rating_2012", NBArr(k)).Value 'the code is looping through the values in an array called NBArr
I have tried to handle this as follows:
If IsError(pt.GetPivotData("ID", "GCB", GCB1, "Gender", Gen1, "9 box Rating_2012", NBArr(k)).Value) = True Then Cells(2,1).Value= "0" ElseIf IsError(pt.GetPivotData("ID", "GCB", GCB1, "Gender", Gen1, "9 box Rating_2012", NBArr(k)).Value) = False Then Cells(2,1).Value = pt.GetPivotData("ID", "GCB", GCB1, "Gender", Gen1, "9 box Rating_2012", NBArr(k)).Value End If
However, even this is not working (in case when the function finds no value).
I'm looking for some direction with enhancing this code:
Code: Case "L18" Dim dfcust As String Dim wshgrp As Worksheet
[Code]...
With this code, wshmain.range("Y18") is populated with the value associated with the vlookup. However, problems exist when the vlookup fails. If the vlookup fails, I don't want to try to populate wshmain.range, just simply .protect and abandon.
I am working on a worksheet with quite a few advisors who will be using the sheet, because of this reason I am trying to cover my back with as much error handling with my VBA script as possible. Where I am struggling is the following line:
Code: Set cb = Workbooks.Open("wilm-dchome"UserName"DesktopCurrent projectPipeline Grouped.xlsm")
I want to have an error handler that says if this file cannot be found use the following line of code instead:
Code: Set cb = Workbooks.Open(Application.GetOpenFilename())
It may even be just a simple if statement instead but I cant seem to find the answer.
How can I edit the following code. If the "Dload" tab is not there the code errors out. How can I make it so that if the "Dload" is not there the macro says "Dload tab missing. Do you want to check file and try again" If the user says yes. then the macro lets the user pick another file. If the user chooses No then does similar quesiton like I have here starting with
If there are records meeting the criteria are found, they are to be copied to a 2nd worksheet. Otherwise, the remainder of the code is to be executed. I am getting an error "No Cells were found" (which is true since the autofilter doesn't net any results) with the line highted in red.
Consider this snippit of ' ' courts ' Courts: Dim lcrtcopy As Long End_RowDest = 0 wshV.Activate ActiveSheet.Unprotect With Worksheets("Crts_Temp") If .FilterMode Then .ShowAllData 'disable advanced filter of data if applicable End With..........
I've got some code that reformats a file that a supplier sends us. They seem to randomly change the structure, so I'm trying to make the code a bit more robust.
Part of the code uses MATCH to look for specific column headings, so I've got some error handling around this of the format:
On Error GoTo NoIncCol Line using MATCH On Error GoTo Exiting where Exiting is my standard error handling (Close without Save) and NoIncCol is the same, but with an error message saying that the term the code was trying to MATCH can't be found. This works well for me.
In another part of the code, I need to check for another column heading, which so far has turned up in two different forms. At the moment I'm doing this as follows:
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("1:1") Set rFound = .Find("Term1") If Not rFound Is Nothing Then a = "Term1" Else
This feels a bit clunky, and I don't really like having what is essentially error-handling in the middle of my code. But the only other way I can think of to do it is to use a GoTo, and I believe that's not really considered good practice either.
Now I have added the following to every single procedure and function in my application, and have realised how ridiculous it is.
On Error Goto ErrorHandling

Is there a way to add a single global ErrorHandling statement somewhere in my code that will be called whenever an error is raised?
Perhaps in my main module that fires all code, can I put a small procedure that will handle the errors? Or as a function in my ErrorHandler class that I call on initialisation?

I have a UserForm (and associated code) to locate a specific entry in Column 'A' of a spreadsheet and insert a date, initials, and hyperlink to another file.
The basic code works fine, but did not account for the user entering a Job# that was not in the system, so I added an If/Else to account for this... The additional code took the If (Job# not found) route every time... Following many hours of searching this site and variations of the error handling code, I still can not get it to work.
So I'm asking for your assistance to point out why the error handling (based on other successful code found here) is not working for me.
'Insert Link Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
If TextBox1.Value = "" Then MsgBox "Please Insert a Job#" Exit Sub ElseIf TextBox2.Value = "" Then MsgBox "Please Insert Quoters Initials" Exit Sub ElseIf TextBox3.Value = "" Then MsgBox "Please Insert Quote Date" Exit Sub
The 'Find' part of the code is working, as the correct cell is selected after running the code... but it gives the error message, instead of executing the rest of the code...
If I remove the 'On Error Resume Next', it stops on the find block, where on inspection FindR = Nothing.
So if FindR does = Nothing, how did it manage to select the cell?
When I enter this formula I get a #VALUE! error. I think it's because cell AG46 has an IF formula that results in "blank" if 0. How do I fix this error so that it includes cell AG46 and if cell AG46 is blank it counts it as a zero?
=SUM(A12)-(AG46*8)(=40 is the answer I'm looking for) =SUM(40)-(0*8)
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:
what i could do to the code below so that if 2 cells are accidentally highlighted - it wont come up with a type mismatch error on the line below in red.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("price").Range(ActiveCell.Address) If .Value = "" Then UserForm2.TextBox1.Value = "No Trade Selected" Else UserForm2.TextBox1.Value = Format$(WorksheetFunction.RoundUp(Val(Sheets("price").Range(Target.Address).Value), 2), "$ 0.00")
I have a excel document that is very heavy with Data Validation List Boxes. Below is just one example. Error handling is what I am trying to figure out. Description: I have 3 List Boxes. One list box data is based on data selected in the previous list box.
1st List Box uses this formula: =Series 2nd List Box uses this formula: =INDIRECT($C$2) 3rd List Box uses this formula: =INDIRECT($C$3)
It all works! HOWEVER.... If user decides to go back and change selection in first or second list box, and forgets to change the data in the second or third box, then data will be incorrect. How do I solve this problem? Is there anyway to write something so it would give them an error message and instructing them to correct the data?
The following code shows the bare bones which illustrate my problem. The routine runs whenever the user enters a string which begins "Frm1=" and contains exactly three commas.
My problem is with the MsgBox which appears if the ErrorHandler is reached. With the following code the MsgBox requires two clicks on OK to dismiss it. If I change Resume to GoTo it requires only one. Is this normal? Is there any way of dismising the MsgBox with one click? ...
As I am looping through files in a folder, I would like to determine if the file is a text file.
The problem is that all extensions are variable in a pattern such as .078, .051, etc.
In this instance, the extensions are numeric, but I'm trying to figure out a way to handle that is all encompassing to include *.txt, *.tsv, *.csv, *.prn, etc......
I am in the process of re-building a major project due to bugs. In the process, I plan to re-organize my sub-routine grouping within modules. In the source file, I have 18 standard modules, with 10-30 routines in each one.
What I would like is a printout of each routine name and which module it resides in, so I can check off each one as I copy it and paste it into the new file. I see that I can get a psuedo tree-view of my project in th eObject Browser, but can't figure out how to print that.
