Why doesn't this code exit on the first "Cancel" selection from the first inputbox?
When I select Cancel from the first inputbox it goes to the next inputbox and I have to select Cancel again, then it exits the sub.
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.
Cells.Find(What:="flags", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False).Activate
'if there is an error, ignore it and continue
On Error Resume Next
Selection.EntireColumn.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 1).EntireRow.Delete Shift:=xlUp
'reset normal error handling
On Error GoTo 0
I am finding the cell marked "flags", then in that column look for the special cell and delete the rows where they are found. It works when it actually finds those cells, but it reports an error when no cells were found.
Is there a way to resume running a code should there be an incompatible file that causes an error? Currently I'm reading a bunch of excel sheets, but there might be some sheets that aren't formated as such and cause an error 400.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUsing the code I got from the Forum Drop Down I added the subs to put a custom command button in the right menu. The first thing it does is delete any existence of the menu item so that you don't get a new one every time you right click your menu. I has just a clear as day "On Error Resume Next". But when it encounters the delete command the error dialog pops up and says "Run time error 5. Invalid procedure call or argument."
View 4 Replies View RelatedBefore doing some modifications in a data sheet, I first check with the below code whether a certain list is complete or not using the VLOOKUP function. If I encounter a missing value in the list, a userform appears asking to fill out 3 data fields, which are then added to the original list to complete it. All of this works fine if only one line is missing; if there are two (or more) lines missing, all goes well untill the VLOOKUP function errors out on the second line missing.
I can't find out why everythign goes welll with the first missing line, but not with the second missing line.

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? ...
I have some code below. I have error handling in place for when it tries to open a specific file. If it isn't there then user has option to continue and ignore this file, or browse and select a new one.
The problem is, when the user wants to ignore the file, the "Resume Next" continues to run the VBA assuming the file was ok i.e. the code after the line to open the file. What I would like is for it to skip the succeeding code and go to look for the next file.
Below is the VBA:
Code:
For i = 0 To 2 Step 1
'add in error handling for if the file is missing
On Error GoTo MissingFile
Workbooks.Open Filename:="\hbeu.adroot.hsbcdfsrootgb002hfcfinance01fnce" & qfolder & "Data" & qfile(i), UpdateLinks:=False, ReadOnly:=True
[Code] .........
Missing File:
qMissingPrompt = "There was an error opening data file. Click OK to browse or Cancel to ignore and move to next file"
qAns = MsgBox(qMissingPrompt, vbOKCancel)
'click cancel - ignore error and move onto the next file
If qAns = vbCancel Then
[Code] .......
So, where it says Resume Next, currently it will start running the following (after On Error Goto 0)
Code:
Set datawb = ActiveWorkbook
range("A2").Select
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
etc.
What I would like it to do is go back to is to go to the next i
Code:
For i = 0 To 2 Step 1
Or even to go to the 'Next' statement at the end so that it moves onto the Next i and tries to open the next file.
I'm trying to have a macro move down one cell and resume from the start if it finds nothing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with several hundred row the VBA code loops through. It takes about an hour to run all the calculations. Whenever I need to pause the script I hit ESC, which works well for me, but for other users it would be nice to have a command button that halts code.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got some code (at bottom) which works very well for small groups of data but when it gets large it hangs excel. Had heard that I can make code which will get it to pick up on the row after where it left off rather than having it run the entire loop again. Specifically speaking of the raw data sheet. It is sorted by date and by code so that if it works on the first code for the date it won't have to return to that row again for data. Uncertain how to implement that approach. (sample data layout below)
Option Explicit

I use the following code to assign a macro to right arrow key.
Application.OnKey "{RIGHT}", "myMACRO"
My questin is how to let the right arrow key resume its normal function, that is move from left to right (A2 to A1) if I do not want the macro any more and without quit and restart EXCEL? The following code disabes the right arrow key's normal function. Application.OnKey "{RIGHT}", ""
I have a macro where I manually select a cell then the macro kicks in to copy and paste the contents into the Find function. From there it goes to another work sheet, clicks on a cell in column one and searches for matching cell contents. Then If false it manually goes back to the original worksheet/cell and then I input a N in the left adjacent cell. If true I enter a Y. Right now I can only run this for the specific cell the macro was recorded for. I would like to expand this.
What I would like to do create a loop in the macro that waits for my cell choice input then continues with the with the Find function. If false the macro should just loop back to the original worksheet/cell and wait for input, ie the next cell selected. However, if true a worksheet/cell is selected, a Y is input and it loops back to the original cell and waits for input.
how to interrupt VBA code, allow user modifications to a chart, and then continue the code where it left off with a click of a button. I currently have the code in place where a UserForm pops up at a specific point and tells the user to make adjustments and press OK when done. It works fine but the UserForm displays and the macro resumes when OK is clicked, but I can't figure out how to activate the chart or the spreadsheet to allow editing while that UserForm is on the screen. If only I can get excel to allow me to sleect the spreadsheet and make changes while the UserForm is on the screen, I would be set. Can anyone please help me with any options to allow editing while the UserForm is on the screen so I can edit and then click the OK when done?
I posted something similar to this over two years ago. The way I got around it at the time was to break the code into two separate subs. This time around, the code is making 17 graphs and I want to ask for editing for each one before continuing. That would be a lot of individual sections of code.
Error Check Marco.xlsm
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?
See the attached sheet. I am trying to add together two figs which are linked to calculations which have formula built in to stop error messages when there is a 0 / 0 = #value type error. However when these two cells are added, if the cells are blank I get an error message. And if only one cell has a value, I get "" with my existing formula. what I need to do to get a result of 7 if for example cell A4 = "" + B4 =7. At the moment my formula shows "" in the sum total of these cells

I am trying to run create a simple macro that copies and paste special values - something I have done 100's of times but for some reason I keep getting an error message - even though I recorded the macro and didnt write it by hand - see below:
Sub Macro6()
Cells.Select
selection.Copy
selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub
For which I get 'Compile Error - Expected Function or Variable'
I have some code that, although works fine in Excel 2003, does not in Excel 1997. I receive this error when I try running it:
COMPILE ERROR:
NAMED ARGUMENT NOT FOUND
Sub HPVAL()
Dim r As Range, myStr As String
myStr = "HP"
Set r = Cells. Find(What:=myStr, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
r = r.Value
While Not r Is Nothing
Set r = Cells.FindNext(r)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
r = r.Value
End If
Wend
End If
End Sub
It looks like Excel is getting hung up on the "SearchFormat:=" portion of the code.
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have written a Excel (2003) that searches a worksheet for a string in any cell. If the string is not found, it uses the 'On Error GoTo' command to jump to a given label.

I need to repeat these same steps (seen for row 5 below) for rows 5 to 50. My script worked until I hit row 35 and then I got the "compile error.." message.

the spreadsheet needs to be copied to a directory called "C:downloads" as it contains a ODBC query to itself (In reality, this is a query to an External Oracle Database)
On loading, it should pop up a simple userform, with a combo and two command buttons, which when pressed takes you to a (hidden) tab that displays a pivottable.
All works well until I try to close /save when 60% of the time, Excel encounters problems and closes and will not load up the file the next time until either quit excel or disable macros. Messages include "file/path access error", "I/O Error" or get restarts excel.
On a casual run through, I expect you might report back that "All worked ok for me". Please can you give it a bit of a thrashing, comment out the userform show, save the file (frequently) becuase i assure you it will break ultimately!
This is a brand-new file and I've tried it on about 5 different PC running different versions of Excel and generally get the same result.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a very simple spreadsheet that generates a "backing page" for items to be physically pasted to (essentially nothing more than printing a header).

I want to insert a column in a separate tab that contains approximately 87,000 rows of data. I then want to do a row count and select the empty cells in the inserted column and put a formula in there. I have tried a loop VBA code and it works, but it takes about 30 minutes to run all the way through.
