Prevent Loss Of Data - Error Message Pops Up

Sep 11, 2013

What is this error message that is popping up when I try to insert a blank row of cells?

"To prevent possible loss of data, Excel cannot shift nonblank cells off of the worksheet. Select another location in which to insert new cells, or delete data from the end of your worksheet.

If you do not have data in cells that can be shifted off the worksheet, you can reset which cells Excel considers nonblank. To do this, press CTRL + End to locate the last nonblank cell on the worksheet. Delete this cell and all cells between it and the last row and column of your data then save."

This excel document we have has LARGE amounts of data

Prevent Loss Of Copied Data On Clipboard

Sep 26, 2007

Using a macro I want to paste from the clip board.
I can manually do this by opening the clipboard, selecting the data, which pastes to my specified location.

The macro copies to the clipboard okay, but loses the data that I want to paste because just before pasting I have to clear data which was previously been filtered - I have to do this at this point. The macro bogs down. If I end the macro there, I can manually open the clip board and choose the data I copied from there and paste it that way. I'd like the macro to do this for me.

Looping: Run The First Macro An Error Pops Up Saying That A Variable Within The Loop Is Not Set

Mar 27, 2007

the following code should determine whether the searched value can be found in more than just one row and than enlist certain values from each of those rows in ComboBox4 using a loop. Then I have a second macro which would assign appropriate values from a Sheet to other text boxes whenever one changes the value of the ComboBox4:

Private Sub ComboBox2_Change()
Dim vFind
Dim Firstaddress
Dim rFound As Range
Dim wsName As String
Dim SrchRng As Range
wsName = Me.ComboBox1.Value
With Worksheets(wsName)
vFind = UserForm2.ComboBox2.Value
Set rFound = .Range("B1")
Set SrchRng = .Range("B:B")
Option Explicit
End With...............................

While trying to run the first macro an Error pops up saying that a variable within the loop is not set. I've got no idea how to fix it

Zero Pops In When One Cell Has Data

Feb 8, 2012

Measurement in cell A2 need to be with range and C2 also needs to be in range. I need the result E2 to be an ABS value of A2-C2 and if either are blank to show as a blank. Issue is a zero pops in when one cell has data.

In the pass/fail cell is a formula to see if its in range and comes back with pass fail.

Thk 1: 0.095" - 0.105"Pass / FailThk 2: 0.095" - 0.105"Pass / FailParallelism: ≤ 0.0005" 0

Automate Pop-up Error Message For Data Validation Purposes

Jul 18, 2014

Excel spreadsheet, that contains several columns. Three of these columns contain text data that is selected by using a simple drop-down menu sourced from a list. If an attempt is made to enter text data not in the associated list an error message is displayed. Easy so far.

I need need to extend the text data validation across all three columns so that only specific combinations of the text in the three columns can be used which is reflected in a further list. These combinations will be counted elsewhere and so needed. Therefore, if i attempt to enter a combination of text columns that is not reflected in the list, this too will present an error message stating 'combination not valid', or words to this effect.

Error Message When Someone Paste Over Data Validation Cells

Oct 13, 2007

I have a spreadsheet which I have formatted with validation rules for each cell. I have protected the sheet so that only certain cells can have info entered.

I also have a second spreadsheet with a bunch of data. If I copy this data and Paste Special it into my specially formatted sheet (Values only), all of the data copies over regardless of my preset validation rules.

I would like error messages to pop up for every incorrect value though.

Show Custom Error Message When No Data To Paste

Aug 27, 2007

Below is a macro I recorded to help copy 'Paste Special - values only' data between two spreadsheets that have different colour and conditional formatting in cells.

However, if this is run and there is no data to paste, it throws up the End and Debug error.

Any chance that someone knows that if there is no data sitting on the Clipboard, then a msg box would appear saying "Please select the data you require to be copied" in the message box.

Sub data_input()

ActiveSheet. Unprotect
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Range("B5:AG4804").Select
Selection.sort Key1:=Range("B5"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Range("B5").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect

Prevent Now Available For Editing Message

Jun 29, 2007

I have an accounting spreadsheet that is used by 25-30 people. This spreadsheet has a button the user can use to save this spreadsheet allowing the spreadsheet to save itself to a specific folder path base on the dates entered in the spreadsheet.

I have begun tracking certain items in the accounting spreadsheet and have added a section to the save macro that gathers data from the accounting spreadsheet and saves the data to a ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet. Since it was possible that more than one person might try saving the spreadsheet at the same time and try to open the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet at the same time, I placed a loop in the macro that determines if the 'logging data' spreadsheet when opened is marked as "read-only". If the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet is opened as "read-only", the macro closes the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet then reopens the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet again and again until opened without the "read-only" status. Code seen below.

Do Until Now() = start_time + 0.002082 Or Now() > start_time + 0.002082
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"G:EDCUSTSERV1_ACCTGIPL SpreadsheetsBilling SpreadsheetsData DropSpreadsheet Stats.xls"
Set WB = ActiveWorkbook
If WB.ReadOnly = False Then
Exit Do
End If
WB.Close
Loop

The macro works great, however, should a user try to save the spreadsheet and the loop happens to open and reopen the spreadsheet until the "read-only" status is gone, when the macro completes, a window pops up and alerts the user that the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet is now available for editing.

My question: Is there any way to prevent that pop up window? I don’t want the user to think they need to edit the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’. Remember that the macro has completed when the popup window shows up, so Application.display alerts set to false

Error Message When Editing XY Chart Dynamic Source Data?

Feb 9, 2012

I am trying to create a simple xy graph in Excel 2010 using dynamic source data.

I have data in three columns.

There are headings on line 2 and the data starts on line 3.

A B C
1.
2. dp ss ff
3 .1 .2 .3
4 .3 .4 .4
5 .4 .8 .7
6 .1 .6 .8
7 .3 .5 .1
8 .5 .4 .4

I want to create an XY chart with C3 to C8 as the X axis (or dynamic to what ever the last data point is) with A3 to A8 as the Y axis (or dynamic to what ever the last data point is).

I have Defined names for C3 to C8 (myXvalues) and A3 to A8 (myYvalues).

I have created a simple XY graph and selected the ranges as normal.

This is =DATA(,Data!$C$3:$C$9,Data!$A$3:$A$9,1)

The page is named DATA

What I am trying to do now is to edit this range to make the range dynamic.Unfortunately I get error messages which ever way I try to edit the range.

I have tried:-

=SERIES('Data'!$c$3,'Data'!myXvalues,'Data'!$A$3,'Data'!myYvalues,1)
=SERIES('Data','Data'!myXvalues, 'Data'!myYvalues,1)
=SERIES(,Data!myXvalues,Data!$myYvalues,1)
=SERIES(Data!,Data!myXvalues,Data!myYvalues,1)

The data range can go from 8 to 30000 hence the need for a dynamic range!

PS: Also, is there any way to create this graph and dynamic source data in VBA. I have tried this with no success.

Prevent Save As Version Message

Oct 17, 2006

I have an extensive application which I wrote using Excel 2002 (XP - Version 10). However it will likely be used on anything ranging from 2003 - 1997. When I tested it using Excel 97 it gave me the traditional [annoying] message asking if I was sure I wanted to save it under an earlier version than which it was created.

I want to get rid of this message (a lot of my users aren't the most computer literate and the more annoying messages I can avoid the better!)
I tried using:

Application.DisplayAlerts = False


but it doesn't affect this particular message. I need to know how to keep this message from popping up. Please Help.

Under 97 (NOT on my 2002) it also gives a "Do you want to save the changes" message upon closing even though the "DisplayAlerts" is set to false. I'm not sure why this is still coming up.

Error Message (Compile Error, Procedure Too Large)

May 20, 2009

I am looking for a more efficient way to write a macro (a sample from the macro is below). This is just the first part of the macro. 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. There must be a way to use "loop" to write this more efficiently, no?

Calculate Profit And Loss Data Based Off Lots Of Account Criteria?

Jun 15, 2014

I'm trying to design a Profit and Loss template that calculates off an accounting software data dump. I will attempt to explain the problem here but I have included a summary in the linked workbook which would be easier.

DOWNLOAD WORKBOOK: [URL]

I have two problems:

The Formula: Basically, I need to calculate every cell in the Profit and Loss statement based on the below criteria: The Profit and Loss item accounts, e.g. Gross Income has 6 accounts. There is a reference table for these - so incorporate index match/vlookup? User selected data from 4 combo boxes.

I am thinking a SUMIFS formula (using the combo box values) and somehow combining a vlookup to pull the items accounts. I'm starting to think that VBA is the best method?

Tweaking: The attached workbook is a small example. The full data dump contains 60,000 rows.

Prevent Do While Loop From Doing Go To Error

Apr 4, 2014

I've got the following code which opens/gets the excel files from a specified directory and imports them into an open workbook. I've added a GoTo Error before my loop which checks if there are any files in the directory and shows an error message if it's the case. Problem is since the loop goes on till there are no more files in the directory, it goes back to the error. How to change that ?

How To Prevent User Error

Jan 6, 2009

I have a simple spreadsheet which requires a date (mm/dd/yy) in Column A. Columns B-F use formulas to break this date down into the month, quarter, year, etc. Users frequently need to add new rows at the top of the sheet just below the column headers.

To be sure the formulas in Columns B-F are included when adding new rows, I put together a simple macro which copies the top ten rows, inserts them at the top of the sheet, and then clears existing data from the new rows (keeping formulas intact).

I put a button on the sheet to run this macro. However, sometimes users insert new rows without using the macro. This results in no data in Columns B-F for these new rows because the formulas weren’t copied.

How can I prevent this from happening? If I protect the sheet and prevent users from inserting new rows, the macro won’t run. Is there something I can add to the macro that will allow it to run properly while the sheet is protected? Below is the macro code.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Rows("3:12").Select
Selection.Copy
Rows("3:3").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Range("A3:A12").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G3:K12").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A12").Select
End Sub

Hide/Prevent #DIV/0 Error

Apr 6, 2008

My wife is trying to use an Excel Spreadsheet to help teaching fractions and decimals to children.

She wants a cell where the children enter the numerator and a cell where they enter the denominator and a cell where the result (to two decimal places) is shown. I have designed an appropriate sheet but would like to "fancy it up" a little.

If the denominator cell is empty, the result cell shows the error message "#DIV/0!".

I'd like this message to be hidden until the children have entered both a numerator and a denominator.

The numerator is in cell D2, denominator is in cell D6 and result is displayed in merged cells C8 - E8.

I've tried conditional formatting the cell with white text if the cell is zero and black if it is non-zero and also tried to specify white text if the cell value is equal to "#DIV/0!" but both do not do what I want.

If there was a way to specify white text for this cell if another cell was zero, that would do it too (ie. if cell D6=0 then conditionally format cells C8-E8 to be white text).

I've also tried a rather inelegant solution where the denominator cell has a "dummy value" (say 0.1) and then conditionally formatted this cell to make the text white (so that it doesn't show up). The results cell can then be conditionally formatted with two conditions: 1. If cell = 0 then white text and 2. if cell is non-zero black text. However, this means that as soon as any number is entered into the numerator, the results cell becomes visible.

Example. Initially cell D2 is blank, D6 has "dummy" value 0.1 and results cell (C8 - E8) has the value 0 in it (0 / 0.1 =0) conditionally formatted to be "invisible".

When a positive number is entered into cell D2 (the numerator) such as 2, the result (2 / 0.1 = 20) is non-zero and so 20.00 is displayed.

How can I hide the error message "#DIV/0!" until the denominator is no longer zero?

Prevent/Stop #DIV/0! Error In Formula

The attached file contains hypothetical data on a basketball player's success from the free throw line. It lists the number of free throws attempted and the number made and then divides the number made by the number attempted to calculate the free throw percentage. However, I keep getting a # DIV/0! error in the games free throws weren't taken. How do I write the code so that when the error occurs, a message is displayed to the effect that no percentage can be reported because no free throws were attempted by checking the cell in column D? How do I use the IsError function to figure this out?

Remove References Programmatically & How To Prevent Debug Error

Jun 19, 2009

i m working on an excel 2007 workbook with ms project functionality. in order to be able to use ms project from within excel i m using early binding. for those who dont know what early binding is: http://www.dicks-clicks.com/excel/olBinding.htm

this works fine if the user has ms project installed on his/her pc.

if the user does not have ms project installed i remove the broken references. this works fine.

but my problem is that when i remove the reference to ms project, my vba project will not compile correctly. thus each time when a user opens the workbook the user gets a "compile error in hidden module" , since the functions of ms project are not available.

for example i get a compile error in the following source
Public Function getResID(ResName As String, ActiveProject As Project) As Integer
Dim res As Resource
For Each res In ActiveProject.Resources
If res.name = ResName Then
getResID = res.ID
Exit Function
End If
getResID = -1
Next
End Function
i just want to know what i can do to prevent the compile error? would the use of late binding remove the problem? actually i dont want to use late binding since my source code is already very complex and it would be a huge effort to change it.

Check User Input To Prevent Run-Time Error

what I want. It relies on an input box asking the user to enter a part code, which when found creates a duplicate copy. However, if the user enters a part that doesn't exist I get a run-time error. Can anybody point me in the right direction so when a user enters an incorrect part they get a message telling them it doesn't exist.

Private Sub SortTest_Click()
Dim s As String
Dim r As Excel. Range

Range("A2").Activate
s = InputBox("Enter the number you wish to find")
If StrPtr(s) = 0 Then
MsgBox "You must enter an existing part number!"
Else
Set r = Cells.Find(What:=s, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

Range(Cells(r.Row, "A"), Cells(r.Row, "AH")).Copy
Sheets("APL").Cells(r.Row, "A").Insert Shift:=xlDown


Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.Goto Sheets("APL").Cells(r.Row, "H")

Prevent #DIV/0 Error In Average When All Cells Are Blank/Empty

May 19, 2008

I'm looking for a function that will display the average of a row of cells, while at the same time not displaying any error messages. It's easy to average cells without blank values, but to combine that with no errors is difficult for me. I saw many ways to do the average, one of which is:

= SUM(A1:E1)/COUNTIF(A1:E1,">0")

That function doesn't work for a row of blank cells (i.e., hidden rows), though. The result is an error message.

I also read about a way to ignore an error in a computation:

=IF(ISERROR(F1),"",F1)

The problem is when I combine those functions I get a blank cell no matter which function I put first, and without regards to cell values or not. The reason I want this to be error-free is that I have to average the "average column" at the bottom of the table, too (i.e., F100).
