Resource Error Message "cannot Complete This Task With Available Resources" When Changing Charts Thru VBA
Apr 19, 2006
I have the following code for a sheet in my workbook that has 3 charts:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("RdteObs").Chart.SetSourceData ThisWorkbook.Names("GSumRdteObs").RefersToRange
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("RdteWip").Chart.SetSourceData ThisWorkbook.Names("GSumRdteWip").RefersToRange
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("RdteExp").Chart.SetSourceData ThisWorkbook.Names("GSumRdteExp").RefersToRange
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
but whenever the sub runs, I get this error message: "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications." Does anyone have an idea what's going on?
Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications. My file is only about 3mb in size, made up of 17 worksheets. These sheets are calculated by referencing to another file that contains all of the background data. The data file is also about 3mb, made up of 13 worksheets.
There are probably about 2 - 3 thousand formulas in the file in total, ranging including vlookups, sumifs, sumproducts, etc. When the data was contained within the file there was no problem. I moved each data sheet into a new workbook to trim the size of my file and also stop the incessant calculation and this is when the problem started. Now, when I open the file and am prompted to update, it will update to about half way and then throw up the error message!
I need to work with a spreadsheet with 15000 rows of data. By the time I link this file with my final file and add formulas, my file has reached a massive size and the following pop up error message appears.
Trying to insert a row and window popped out -Large Operation. " The operation you are about to perform effects a large number of cells and may take a significant amount of time to complete. Are you sure you want to continue?" I pressed ok , then, says "Excel cannot complete thsi task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications. "
This works fine on small data sets, but on larger data sets it gives me the error message, "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources". This happens even when I try to do the deletion manually (without VBA code). Clearly, the code itself is not the problem.
My document has about 250,000 rows and 2,500 columns. While this is big, it is significantly smaller than Excel's documented limit of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns.
I am using Excel 2007. My computer has 2GB of RAM but even when I try it on a computer which has 8GB of RAM it gives me the same error. If I "ClearContents" instead of "Delete" it works fine. For my purposes, however, deletion is entirely necessary.
I have created a dynamic chart, courtesy of the Jon Peltier website. I have 2 problems. No problem with getting the chart to work, the problem comes when I delete the data. I get an error message telling me that 'A formula in the worksheet contains one or more invalid references.' The other problem is that I cannot copy the worksheet to another worksheet in the same workbook. Well that is not strictly true, I can copy it but it wont updat. Any ideas as to how I can overcome this? Any suggestions welcome, apart from 'Don't delete the data then'
These represent time it takes for a fax to send. I'm trying to find the average time it takes for these faxes to send. Using the built in @AVERAGE option does produce a number albeit an incorrect number. Wondered if I could convert these to decimal numbers then covert the result back to time - when trying that I don't get an average but rather a time of day - say 5:55:30PM.
I have a spreadsheet that users update which I then want them to perform a number of checks on. At the bottom will be a button for them to click stating "Click here to confirm checks completed". When they click it I want it to put a flag somewhere that I can then use to prevent them from saving if they haven't clicked the button. I know how to do the saving but, but how do I get the button to put a flag somewhere?
I'm having a few issues with a macro I have written (something I am relatively new to, I might add). Whenever I run it, I get an error message of "cannot complete this task with available resources" - I am currently using Excel 2003
What I am trying to do is cycle though a list of 401 vehicle numbers (the WBSs), using each individual WBS to filter data in another worksheet (sheet "MC01"), and then copy a range of this filtered data into a separate, vehicle specific worksheet (starting at sheet "P1" and continuing to sheet "P401").
The code would run fine when I kept the Field 9 Filter Criteria1 value a constant WBS number, but when I introduced the phrase to use the different values on the WBS sheet (Criteria1:="=" & WBS.Value), the macro would run perfectly for half the vehicles before giving the error message and bugging out.
I thought this could be solved by dumping the memory on each loop by using Set WBS = Nothing but this doesn't make any difference.
Code is as follows:
Sub Update_MC01()
Dim I As Integer Application.ScreenUpdating = False Sheets("WBS").Select Range("B2").Select Set WBS = ActiveCell Sheets("MC01").Select Rows("1:1").Select Selection.AutoFilter Sheets("P1").Select
I understand that 401+ worksheets is a lot for any workbook to handle, but the fact that if I set Criteria1 as being a static WBS vehicle number Excel has no issues with it, and everything cycles fine. It is the addition of the phrase "=" & WBS.Value that causes the hiccoughs. From my very basic knowledge of VB, all I can assume is that Excel is storing this "WBS.Value" in it's memory on each loop. Am I right in thinking that the phrase Set WBS = Nothing is the right thing to use to empty this memory?
What I am looking to do is find the time it has taking to complete a task - So the work sheet has four cells (See below) and return the total time with cell E
Cell A Cell B Cell C Cell D Cell E June 5 10:00 AM June 6 12:30PM ????
I am trying to copy 8 adjacent cells in a sheet and paste them on another sheet as a picture (using copy picture method). I could do that 3/4 times, but after that I started getting the insufficient system resources error.

i have a chart on a worksheet, it contains multiple series (3) in which i wish to change the values/ range of each series of the chart through vba. Thus far i have struggled due to the lack of intellisense, in which i tried
I have a chart with 5 different series. Instead of editing each one, say the marker size, is there anyway I can change the marker size for all of the different series at the same time?
However I have a subject at uni that requires me to create a series of regression models, histograms, correlation matrices etc.
For part of the assignment, i have to run 4 regressions (one for men & one for women) with dependent variable as average wages, and independent as bfast 1,2,3 and dinner 1,2,3 (all of which are dummy variables) (0 for male and 1 for female).
The second two regressions are exactly the same, except average wages must be transformed into log which i have already done.
I dont know how to differentiate the regression models into male and female (if possible). We must also include residuals and residual plots.
I keep getting an error that says non-numeric data, the other says input range must be a contiguous reference.
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?
I created a bar chart with horizontal (category) labels: winter, spring, summer, fall. Y-axis label is percent. For each category there is data for blk rats, Norway rats, Mice. For each species and category the standard error is different because it is based on several years of data for a given season.
When I try to display the std. error (using custom, fixed value) it treats each species as a series and only lets me choose one value. in other words the std. error would be the same for blk rats in winter, spring, etc. How can I use the individual values?
This works perfectly on one PC, but fails when I try to run it on a different PC. Both PC's use Windows 2000, and both run Excel 2000.
The error message I get on the second PC is:
Run-time error '1004': Method 'Export' of object ' _Chart' failed
What I need to find out is what could possibly be causing this statement to fail. Is there something in the Excel or Windows settings that could be different (a dll file etc)?
I have the following extract of code which is meant to add a chart. However, it adds a pivotchart and then errors on the last line because it can't change the source data on a pivotchart like it can on a non-pivotchart. All of the other charts in the workbook are pivotcharts. It was working fine last week.
Sheets "LOI Sheet" and "Data for Charts" exist. "e" is a defined integer with value 53 at last running.
I am using defined names to build a chart. This is working fine, but I also would like to use a defined name to control the +/- fields for the error bars. The defined names I have set up are correct, and I am able to enter them into the sorce data form but Excel does not display them.
I've got an interactive chart on a sheet where users select a chart from a combo box control and a picture link to the chart is displayed. The actual charts are on a hidden sheet. I have to activate the charts first for it to work so I put a button the sheet and recorded a macro where I unhide the hidden sheet, select each chart as I scroll down the screen by clicking on it then hide the sheet again and return to the interactive chart.
My problem is that I'm getting an error when the macro tries to select the first chart which is called "Chart 6":
Run-time error '-2147024809 (80070057)':
The item with the specified name wasn't found
I recorded the macro so I'm not sure why the macro isn't working now.
Code: Sub ResetCharts() ' ' ResetCharts Macro ' Reset all charts ' ' Sheets("Budget v Actual Graphs").Select Sheets("Graph BG").Visible = True ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 6").Activate ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=15 ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 35").Activate
I have a file with data in one sheet (unfortunately I cannot share the file because of confidential data..), and two sheets with both 9-11 charts in them.
The charts are all filled simply with a dynamic range from the datasheet, so that Last Year and all months from this year with data in them are always in there.
The problem: When opening either of the graph sheets, the (familiar?) error pops up: "A formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references. Verify that your formulas contain a valid path, workbook, range name and cell reference."
One of the graphs has an error and only shows one point of data in it. But only until I press F9, and then the chart is repaired and functions perfectly like all the others!
I have tried lots of things, including checking all source ranges, deleting all graph names etc. and then repaired it so it would work again. The only thing that happened, is that the same error now pops up for another graph in the sheet. Still, when you press F9, the graph functions again!
For some reason my form won't open when the workbook is opened. I get an error message "run time error '424' object required" (which happens when I have Form1.show in the BOTH workbook_open event and the userform_initialize event (oops)). When I removed form1.show from the userform_initialize I don't get an error but I also get no form. I recall having this issue before but I can't recall how to fix it.
Can I call the userform_initialize event from the workbook open event to get around this successfully and properly?
I do hit the SCE (Shift-CTRL-Enter) keys. The formula does work in one workbook, but not the other. The only difference between the two workbooks is this formula has a larger range.
New Formula- doesn't work (ERROR- #DIV/0!) {=AVERAGE(IF(Sheet1!A3:A1094="MONDAY",Sheet1!E3:E1094))}
Old Formula- works {=AVERAGE(IF(B6:B451="MONDAY",E6:E451))}
In the past the Manpower Company has put out a yearly spreadsheet allowing an employer to keep track of employee time off. They are not making one this year. Looking at last years sheet, all the calculations are locked. Has anyone seen this sheet in the past and know how it works? You can put in something like v8 in a dated cell and excel subtracts 8 hours from a yearly vacation total. The v in front of the 8 stands for vacation and you can also put in a p for personal time etc..
I get spreadsheets sent to me with hours and minutes in decimal format. Frequently a quarter of an hour or three quarters of an hour are posted as 0.15 or 0.45 instead of 0.25 and 0.75. Other odd fractions can also appear.
I want an error message if the value when divisible by 0.25 is not a whole number.
