Unable To Set ColorIndex Property Of Interior Class: Fill Cell Color Macro


I have an error message that says: Run time error '1004': Unable to set the colorIndex property of the interior class. I attached code for your reference.

If (Range("B10").Value = "Gift" Or Range("B10").Value = "Entertainment") And Range("C10").Value = "" Then
Range("C10").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
MsgBox "Please Fill in the Person's Name & Company."
Range("C10").Select
Range("C10").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If

Unable To Set The Xvalues Property Of The Series Class
For the last day I have been getting the following error: "Run-time error '1004': Unable to set the Xvalues property of the series class."

The archetecture of the marco is sound being that I have used this methology in another macro and it works correctly every time. The XValuesand Values range are also correct and I know this because I had the macro select the data cells and it does this correctly as well. The data for simplicity at the moment has no empty cells or abnormal data. The data cells are all filled with some kind of data. For the XValue Range the data would look something like "2070087 4/27/2007" and the Values range is filled with a number between 0 and 100. What I can't figure out is why it crashes with a valid establish range. I highlighted the lines it crashes on in read, they are near the bottom.

Unable To Set The Visible Property Of The Worksheet Class
I've been using the following code successfully for years. Today I would get the error 1004:Unable to set the visible property of the worksheet class. All my searches came up with someone not realizing they had protected the workbook. As you can see, the first thing I do before trying to set the worksheet visible is to unprotect the workbook. In frustration and on a lark I tried .Sheets("items").Visible = True and it worked. These kind of intermittent errors in Excel VBA are very frustrating. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Pivot Chart Error: Unable To Set The _Default Property Of The Pivot Item Class
I have created quite a nice little macro that;
drills through a lot of key figures, updates a pivot chart and copies the chart to powerpoint.

However it crashes on one particular data set every time with this error:
Run-time error '1004':
Unable to set the _Default property of the pivot item class

The code where the debugger stops is the last line below here.

lngKpi = Sheets("Helpfile"). Cells(lngRow, 2)
Sheets("Charts").Select
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("DK").Activate
ActiveChart.PivotLayout.PivotTable.PivotFields("KPI # (overall").CurrentPage = lngKpi

I can manually change the pivot chart to the keyfigure it crashes on and thereby workaround the problem in the macro. Also it works for more than 50 other keyfigures without problems.

Unable To Get The VLookup Property Of The WorksheetFunction Class...
I am trying to look at column at of two different workBOOKS and then when a match is found take the value from column D in workbook two and copy it to the corresponding row in the current column of workbook one.

this is the code I'm using and I get that unable to get the vlookup function. I thought maybe it was because not all of them will have matches so it could return an error if it is trying to return empty, so I put int on error resume next, and it ran through but never brought over ANY data, and there ARE matches and data to be brought over.

destRng is the range in the current column(that i just inserted) on the active worksheet that we will be putting the new info into. srcRng is the range in column A on the other workbook that the numbers are being compared to. src is just an integer

Unable To Set The Orientation Property Of The PivotField
I want the data field to change to a different field when a command button (cmd_view) is clicked. So when the command button has a caption of "Toggle to Feeds", the code changes the field from Sqm to Feeds, and changes the caprion on the command button to "Toggle to Sqm". When this is next clicked, the fields are swithed over, and the command button caption changes relative to it.

The code I have written is below:

The problem I have is when the code changes the view from feeds to Sqm, it works fine, but when the code changes from Sqm to feeds, it crashes out in the true part of the If statement on the code line ".orientation = xlhidden" with the error "Unable to set the Orientation property of the PivotField class".

As the code for the change of view is the same, apart from the field names, I am at a loss on what is the cause.

I have tried to record a macro to see if the field names appear differently, but they do not.

Sub Tog_pivot()

Dim Toggle As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Toggle = Sheet5.cmd_View.Caption

If Toggle = "Toggle to Feeds" Then
'switch view from Sqm to Feeds
Range("F12").Select
' hide existing field
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Pivot_forecast_old").PivotFields("Sum of Sqm")
.Orientation = xlHidden

Unable To Get The Match Property Of The Worksheet Function
I'm trying to find the occurence of a date in a range.

Here is the code I'm using:

Windows(todaydate1).Activate

For Each cell In range(Cells(top73, 3), Cells(bot73, 3))


z3 = DateSerial(Year(cell), Month(cell), Day(cell))

Windows("Cash Flow " & todaydate & " PM.xls").Activate
Sheets("Commitments").Activate

However the code stops right on the q3 line where the match function is located. The problem is that I'm getting a Run Time Error 1004:

"Unable to get the match property of the worksheet function class"

This would lead me to believe that the match function is not working. However, in Excel, it does work. Even when using the cell from the other Workbook, it works.

All the dates which appear to be dates are indeed formatted as dates.

The range is good. I've used the immediate window to verify the address and the values of the other variables in play.

?range(Cells(toprw, 2), Cells(botrw, 2)).Address

Do While Interior Color Is None
I was viewing the Do While Loop

Cells(iCount, 5).Value = Cells(iCount, 5).Interior.ColorIndex
iCount = 1 + iCount 'increment by 1 each loop
Loop

End Sub

I get what the loop is doing but I am not sure what the Interior is referring to. When I looked it up I saw it can be a property or an object but I am not sure exactly what it means, why you need it and in what other cases you may use it? I am so confused about this I don't even know what to ask?

If I had to guess I think it means the the property of the individual cells but in that case I don't see where the object comes in?
