VBA - Can I Bypass/ignore Automation Errors
Jul 4, 2009
I have an ongoing project under constant upgrade. Essentially its a timesheet (used by about 40 secretaries) that gets sent to two administrators who import it into a report.
I have written a script to import these timesheets into a report which works fine and currently resides in a module which the administrators access via a command button on there report.
To make there life even easier I have constructed a script that triggers in event Sub Workbook_open (), embedded in the timesheets themselves, based on
If Application.UserName = "Admin1" Or Application.UserName = "Admin2" Then .....

E11 through E24 contains numbers and a few errors (#N/A) that need to persist (the errors need to show).
E10 needs to show the average of the numbers that are in E11 through E24, and just ignore the errors.
I have many columns like that - where the errors need to show and I need to show an average of the number/values that do appear, ignoring the errors.

I had trouble today adding up series of cells that would sometimes contain text (during data entry, a 'n/a' value would be entered if such data was unavailable, causing standard addition to break), but thanks to another thread (Ignore Text Adding Cells is that it ignores non-numeric values.
However, after doing some more work I realized that some other summations were still breaking, and I believe it is because some of the cells being added are flagged with the "#VALUE!" error. The SUM function does not seem to ignore this, and produces a "#VALUE!" error of its own. My question is, how can I perform calculations (a summation of an array of cells, in my case) while ignoring not just non-numeric data, but errors as well?

my main file goes out and opens another worksheet, modifies it in its existing environment, copies it to a tab on my main file then closes the other file but not save it. Even though I did those things when I was recording the macro, those steps are not coming through.

I am working on a script that allows a user to enter a number (days), and an automatic process performs based on that number. The inputbox has a default value. I have everything except for one issue--we would like the default value to be accepted and the inputbox close if the user does not click OK in say 20 seconds (in order to keep the process from tying up the rest of the process). Is there a way in VBA to click "OK" in the inputbox in 20 seconds so the process can run if the user doesn't click it himself?

Is there a way to use the =SUM(--:--) feature, but to bypass any cells that contain text instead of numbers that are in the range?
I'm currently using this formula:
=SUM(N(I31)+N(L31)+N(O31)+N(R31)+N(U31)+N(X31)+N(AA31)+N(AD31))
...to only add up the number cells, as next to each cell, there is a column that has text (the reason for the "N(--:--)" is because depending on criteria, some of these cells print blank).
I just added 50 more columns that need to be added to the formula listed above and I will need to repeat this a dozen times. It will be much easier (and tidier) to be able to do something like this:
=SUM(N(I31:CL31)EXCLUDING CELLS THAT CONTAIN TEXT.

I was getting so close to the end of what I was trying to finish until I got stuck by an error.
I think the data source in Data Validation has a limit of character. Please see Below
=CHOOSE(MATCH($D1,AccountList,0),ZA,ZB,ZC,ZD,ZE,...ZAA,ZAB,ZAC)
I need to extend the list until ZAO. However, I think the Excel limit is only until ZAC.
I tried to create a new "list" that would contain those ZA,ZB,ZC.
(the list would be named ListofZ) and replace the lengthy formula above by the following:
=CHOOSE(MATCH($D1,AccountList,0),ListofZ)
However this technique doesn't work.

when sending an email in code from Excel through Outlook, the following Microsoft Office Outlook dialog appears during code execution in Office releases since 2002:
A Program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf.
Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No".
Two buttons: [Yes] [No]
Question
Has anyone used or developed code that bypasses this prompt, and if so, would you please post an example of your code here. What I would like is a macro in VBA and / or API that you know from your own first-hand experience has worked for you, that emails an Excel attachment from Excel, using Outlook (not Outlook Express) as the email client, which bypasses the above prompt.....................

I have in column D starting D9, I have numbers starting at 1, and may finish at 100. But there could be duplicates, 1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6,7,7,8,9,10,10,11,12,13,.........
I would like to only copy the range D9 to H (End of column D), ignoring all the duplicate numbers, to another sheet.
So on the second sheet, it would be 1,2,3,4,5,6...... with the data copied from E,F,G and H.

I'm trying to do some automation of a website that has one of those annoying javascript popup dialog boxes you have to click OK on before you can progress. How can I kill that so that I don't have to manually click on "Ok" so that my macro can keep running?

You take an input, click a button. This will them create a small HTML table with a text input box and another button.
Sub VisitWebsite()
Dim ie As Object
Dim tcode As String
Dim sURL As String
Set ie = CreateObject("INTERNETEXPLORER.APPLICATION")
sURL = http://sample.jsp
ie.navigate sURL
ie.Visible = True
tcode = "apples"
While ie.busy
DoEvents
Wend
Application.Wait Now() + TimeValue("00:00:03")
For Each ieForm In ie.document.forms
ieForm(1).Value = tcode
ieForm.submit
Set ieForm = Nothing
Exit For
Next
The code ieForm(1).Value = tcode works. The code ieForm.submit also hits submit on the button.
The problem is I cannnot figure out how to access the 2nd button which is generated when you click the 1st button. I have tried every variation of ieForm(1).Value. There appears to be only 3 forms (0, 1, 2). When I try 3 or greater, I get an error.
When I use ieForm(2).Value = "something", the Retrieve button text actually changes name to "something".
I've attached a screen shot of the webpage. I can insert text into the top Track Code box, and click Retrieve.
I can't change the text in the Routing Position field, and I cannot click the "Set" button. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am still a beginner with VBA and it took me a while just to get it to work with the 1st input box.

I am trying to create a document that automatically sends an email whenever a field reaches a certain value. I am pulling the data from different worksheets onto a summary worksheet and using the data on the summary sheet as the point at which my code checks to see whether the value is below the minimum required. The summary sheet updates automatically whenever I change the data in one of the other sheets but the email will not send automatically when the summary sheet is updated. When I run the macro individually the email sends, however I need some way of triggering it so that it sends automatically upon the data in the field changing. Can anyone help me with this?
Here is an example of some of the code I am using:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("D3"), Target) Is Nothing Then
If IsNumeric(Target.Value) And Target.Value < 1 Then
ANDES1
End If
End If
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("E3"), Target) Is Nothing Then
If IsNumeric(Target.Value) And Target.Value < 1 Then
ANDES2
End If
End If
End Sub

Creating a spreadsheet to inventory cups each day. When a macro was invoked do the following:
-unprotect the worksheet
-cut/paste the completed sheet below the current
-bring in the values form the previous day's inventory
-set protection on new spreadsheet to lock the cells
-blank out old values
-reprotect the worksheet
Pretty straightforward and seems to work fine for a few iterations, then crashes with "Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)': Automation error. The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.".
As FYI, this code was mostly generated using a record macro session, so no variables involved.
Here is a screenshot of the spreadsheet as it sits now:

Here is the code:
Sub NewDay()

' Create new day and copy cup count from previous day[code]....

I have a file that I update daily. It involves opening the file, going to a drop down menu and selecting 1 of the listed items and pressing a button to run the macro. Once the macro is complete, I then go back to the dropdown menu and select the next line item and press the same button to run the macro on this. I repeat this task 7times.
All the macro does is load a txt file to a third party system.
I am looking to see if it is possible to reduce the time it takes to do this task.

Using VBA automation - set ObjXL as an Excel.Application
Lots of code and data transfer
then:
3410 ObjXL.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=strSaveAsFileName
3420 ObjXL.Visible = False
3430 ObjXL.Quit
Set Objxl= nothing
should the line be set : ObjXL.displayAlerts = True
- befor the objxl.Quit ?
- before the Objxl.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= aname
how to close the ObjXL with out orphaning a process.
OR???
ObjXL.ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Data1", RefersToR1C1Local:=ObjXL.Range("A5").CurrentRegion
Will this line of code create a 2nd instance of Excel?

I am trying to calculate the sumsq throught VBA for some automation.
The formula to be entered is - =SUMSQ(K1025:K1358)/(COUNT(K1025:K1358)-COUNTIF(B1025:B1358,"0"))
Another thing is that the row numbers are variables, and not fixed in automation. Let's call them R1 and R2. So I need the range to be R1 to R2 in all the instances in the above formula.

I created a UserForm (userform1) and added a label to it which essentially just says: "Pick a Colour"...
The other UF controls are added on the fly using the below code...however when I try to add the event to each button I get the Automation Error but I don't really understand how / why... the events are actually added to the VB project ok...
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim NewButton As MSForms.CommandButton
Dim ws_i, line As Integer
Dim clr_str As String
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
I added a dummy routine for test purposes which is to be invoked on click of UF button control (I have tried placing this code in a standard module, within UF module etc to no avail):
Sub HIDE_WS(clr_id As Long)
MsgBox clr_id
End Sub
So to reiterate -- when I invoke the initialisation of the UF I get the following error:
Automation Error
The object invoked has disonnected from its clients
All events are added for each control.
If I remove the adding of the events I know the UF populates with the correct controls etc...

pivot chart automation. I have a tab that contains thousands of rows and it grows larger on a weekly basis. On this tab is 169 peices of hardware I manage. Each week 1 row of data is added to all 169 peices of hardware. The data from the main tab contains metrics I need to chart. However, I am in need of a way of selecting a specific peice of hardware and having the pivot charts update automatically. There will be 26 Charts and going through each chart and selecting the proper hardware is going to take far too long.
Is there any way i can select just 1 peices of hardware from the data tab and have it populate all of these charts?

I've done quite a bit of research in the past week or so on the topic of solver automation using loops; while there are a few good posts scattered around, i haven't quite found the solution to my problem.
i'm trying to run the solver on a few like-sized datasets contained in one worksheet. i've set up a loop to properly reference the 4 datasets. the solver constraints are in one column on the same worksheet.
the macro runs with no errors, but it doesn't "solve." the parameter cells retain their original values.
i should mention that my macro ran perfectly before i consolidated the 4 separate solver calls into one loop. I got tired of having to type 4 different constraint changes in the code as i was optimizing the solver.
on a similar topic, does anyone know how to call a variable in the FormulaText declaration? If i wanted to step through a defined array of constraints, say [1,2,3], how do i get FormulaText:= variable to work?
Sub Macrosolver()
Dim iteration As Long
Dim i As Integer
i = 8 'start in row 8 at first dataset

I receive sales data from my wholesalers every month and I continually have to format them to fit the structure of our in-house database. I wanted to design a macro that would automate this process. However, in some months, the files are recieved in a format that is a bit different from the wholesaler's usual format.
Is there such thing as an initial "litmus" test where I could try running the macro and if it doesn't fit the usual structure, there's an error code and I could do it by hand?

I'm trying to automate advanced filter but can't get past having just 1 critreria.
I have attached an example spreadsheet where the download dump is on "Data" sheet and the result of the advanced filter is on the "Result" page. I would like, if possible, for the result to come up every time the criteria is put in (they are all data validation lists).
so for example, if i select account code, all those codes come up then select period and the list dwindles down and again for cost centre. Is it possible to do this without using macros. I have found the following code butnot sure what to do with it (sorry).

My situation so far i have a rather large program in vba that accesses a site (confidential info im afriad will post snippets though) logs in navigates through a rabbit warren of pages using different types div's form's a href's etc and finally get to one page before where i need to extract information from!!
This webpage has one large table then nested tables within for each entry.
For example
PHP Code:
<table><tr><td><table>info....</table></tr></td><tr><td><table>info....
</table></tr></td><tr><td><table>info....</table></tr></td></table>
I need to find a way to search the data cells within the nested tables find a specific displayed value then if required tick the checkbox (which has dynamically generated id's names etc) in that row then move on to the next table and do the same.
All I need to do is establish that one row has the data value i need and tick the check box that correlates (which is in the same row).
PHP Code:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr class="altline"> <td> <table> <tr> <td class="col_time" title="16/04/2013">18:30</td>
<td class="col_duration">00:51</td> <td class="col_placetype"></td>
