Wrong Data Type Error In Simple Array Formula
Jun 30, 2013
I am trying to use FIND and an array formula to find the position of text in a range of cells (A2 and A3 in the example) which could be one of a number of options (C1:D1 here). But the array formula throws up the following error: "A value used in the formula is of the wrong data type". The simplest illustration of the problem is as follows. The formula in B2 is
Code:
{=FIND(($C$1:$D$1),A2)}
and $C$1:$D$1 contain REF and ATM respectively. [/CODE]
REF
ATM
203047 05AUG 08.55 OKEHAMPTON ATM
#VALUE!
CO-OP GROUP 380611 REF 191 7553375222 BCC
22
We see that B2 has a #VALUE! error - wrong data type. But for some reason B3 is ok returning 22!

My colleague and I are writing a udf which uses a "match/ index" combination to return a value to a cell from a named range in another sheet. The cell returns returns the error "value used in the formula is of the wrong data type". When we break down the code into a function which refers directly to the relevant cells, and a sub which returns the value in a message box, it works correctly: here's the code for the function and test sub:
Function MRL(PropertyType, ReturnType, Location, Year2) ....

I have a formula =SUM(IF($I$4:$I$302="A",$K$4:$K$302)) works fine.
I am using the same formula referencing a different column =SUM(IF($W$4:$W$302="A",$Y$4:$Y$302))
And I get the error : "A Value used in the formula is of the wrong data type"

I have attached a file called Test2 which has a public function called DBLookup. The function looks in the attached access database simulating a Vlookup just like in Excel. The problem I am having is when that data appears on sheet1. I am getting #VALUE in the cell and the erroe states "a used value in the formula is of the wrong data type".

Code:
fma_rng = .Range("C" & fma_top & ":C" & fma_btm)
rows_blnk = Application.CountBlank(fma_rng)
why I would be getting a 'type mismatch' error with the line in red?

I'm working on simple array formula between two different sheets.
I'm working on Sheet 1 and sheet 2
Right now I want the result on sheet 2 C9
Sheet 2 C6 has MTR
Sheet 1
c6 MTR
c7 MAR
c8 MTR
E6 2
E7 4
E8 6
Now on Sheet 2 C7 has 10
Now the result Sheet C9 has to get 8
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUM(IF(C6="+Sheet1!$C$6:$C$8",Sheet1!$E$6:$E$8,Sheet2!C7)))
I want this formula to work on both excel and Google Drive but now this formula doesn't work on any one.

Using this formula for a bank account,
=IF(SUM(C2-A1+B1)=C1, "match", "NO match")
down a column of about 3000 rows, yields only one cell with an unexpected and probably incorrect response in G2 with a "NO Match" - where the math is correct ?
A B C D
63.58 0.00 -54.97 match
64.57 0.00 8.61 NO match
128.21 0.0073.18 match
201.39
Details:
Attachment is included;
temp2.xlsx
in a bank account file, where "C2" is the previous balance, "C1" is the current balance, "A1" is any check written, "B1" is any deposit applied.

I'd like to add items on a UserForm1 ComboBoxes in the correct order but I can't. That's because with the code below, in ComboBox6P1 the items are added with mixed order:
For Each thing In .Range("AC6", .Range("AC65536").End(xlUp)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If Trim(ComboBox4P1.Text) = thing.Value Then
For Each aNew In .Range("AD6", .Range("AD65536").End(xlToRight)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If aNew.Row = thing.Row Then
ComboBox6P1.AddItem aNew.Value
End If
Next
Exit For
End If
Next
I should add items in ComboBox6P1 in order -> AD6, AE6, AF6, AG6, AH6, the rest are empty cells. Instead of it adds AF6, AG6, AH6, AD6, AE6. When I change .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) to .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible ) it adds it in the correct order but with another 200 emtpy cells in the ComboBox6P1. The format of the cells is General.

I have a big array "DataArray" and want to access it:
For i = 1 To 4
variable = DataArray(SourceArray(i))
Next i
"DataArray" has two dimensions, so SourceArray has to consist of data like this:
SourceArray(1) = 1,2
sourceArray(2) = 2,4
etc
What data type does Sourcearray have to be? Integer doesnt seem to work, and DataArray doesnt like a string as coordinates. I have a workaround with two different arrays of integer for x and y coordinates, but this cannot be it.

In sheet 1, I have
Col A Col B
John Sedgwy - R
In sheet 2, I have the following names
Col A Col B
Peter Walker
John Sedgwicky
When I did an array match -> ={MATCH(1,(TRIM($a2)=Sheet2!$A$1:$A$2)*(left(b2,5)&"*"=Sheet2!$b$1:$b$2),0)}
gave me an error but when I did an individual match to both John and Sedgw, it works.

I have an array of variants..
lvarArrSource = Array(12, "=F", 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, "123", "F", "F", "F", "F", 11, "F", "NR", "F")
which i am using to map columns between spreadsheets. The basic numeric entries refer to columns to copy. But I want to make the routine smarter with the strings.
If array(x) = 12 (For example) Then
Do something
End If
If left(array(x),1) = "=" Then
Do something Else
End If
If array(x) Is String literal (e.g "xyz" Or "123") Then
Do a third thing
End If
i cant find a typeof or isstring kind of function. Isnumeric works ok for some values but quoted numbers (eg "123") return true (which isnt what i want). I have tried the left(string,1) = """ but excel seems to hide the quotes.

The error is:
Method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed
Line it fails on:
Set r = Range("myRange")
Sub LearnCells()
Dim r As Range
Dim n As Long
Set r = Range("myRange")
For n = 1 To r.Rows.Count
If r.Cells(n, 1) = r.Cells(n + 1, 1) Then
MsgBox "Duplicate data in " & r.Cells(n + 1, 1).Address
End If
Next n
End Sub
Questions:
1) 1st Dim statement, is this valid? I still get a little unsure- in the data type lists in the help file, the list file does not list things like Workbook, Worksheet Range.
2) Why is the error ocurring?

I have a lil project, was wondering how to work this. I have several rows of numbers, thing is, they can only contain either a "1" or a "0" (zero). If anything else is entered other than a "1" or "0", I'd like to have a statement below it saying "Error - data must contain a 1 or 0" - or something similar.
I tried using conditional formatting - not working well.

I'm trying to write a Macro that, in the active sheet (which contains plenty of data), deletes rows according to several criteria, for example:
- if cell(i, ar1(j)) = ERROR, delete row i and shift 1 up
(ar1 is an array of column numbers)
- if cell(i, ar3(j)) = 0, delete row i and shift 1 up
(ar3 is another array of column numbers)
Etc.
The problem is that, when I run it, I get a "Type Mismatch" error message, and I don't understand why. Here is the
Sub Delete_invalid_rows()
Dim i%, j%
Dim Nr%, valid As Boolean, BYPdata As Boolean
Dim ar1, ar2, ar3, ar4 As Variant
Nr = 1379
ar1 = Array(11, 14, 19, 20, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 104, 106, 107, 109, 112, 116, 126, 127, 128, 129, 131, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 142, 143, 145)..............

How do you suppress the #N/A error in the array formula below:
J$2:$J$1201,MATCH(1,($B14=Datasheet!$I$2:$I$1201)*($E$13=Datasheet!$G$2:$G$1201),0)))

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.

In the two columns listed below I need to figure out what formulas could be used to create the "Last Status" column. To better understand the dynamics of the two columns, pretend that the cell mark in bold is where you are currently residing in the worksheet and you look upward in the first column to see what the last status was and you use a formula to enter this value into the cell just to the right of the bold B. T

Last Status

The following code works like a dream for me, but if was to enter the wrong letter, not "N" or "R" and i tried to delete it, a debug message appears?
Is there a way to allow any letters to be deleted?
Here is my code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 17 Then
With Range("C" & Target.Row & ":R" & Target.Row).Interior
Select Case Target.Value
Case "R": .Color = RGB(184, 204, 228)
Case "N": .Color = RGB(120, 120, 120)
Case Else: .Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End Select
End With
With Target.Font
Select Case Target.Value
Case "R": .Color = RGB(184, 204, 228)
Case "N": .Color = RGB(120, 120, 120)
Case Else: .Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End Select
End With
End If

I have a VBA subroutine that builds a list of dates in an array and then copies this to the worksheet using worksheetfunction.transpose. The array is two dimensional and therefore uses the variant data type.
This works fine in Excel 2002. In Excel 2003 the array is fine until the Transpose function is used, at this point they are changed from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy. This means that some dates are changed (eg: 01/Mar/2008 becomes 03/Jan/2008) and some are written as strings (eg: 17/Mar/2008 becomes the string "17/03/2008" and cannot be operated on as a date).
I'm aware that there was a hotfix to deal with a similar issue regarding recalculation but this is on Excel 2003 SP3 which should already have that hotfix in place.
I have reduced my code down to a basic demonstration showing the problem. This assumes the worksheet contains some dates in "A2:A32". I have also attached the workbook containing this code.
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim a() As Variant, c As Integer
Redim a(1 To 31)
For c = 1 To 31
a(c) = Cells(1 + c, 1)
Next c
Range("D2:D32") = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(a)
End Sub
I have fixed this problem by looping through each element of the array and writing them individually in to cells but this is far slower so I'd like to know if there is a better solution than that.

I have a spreadsheet with a VLOOKUP formula that I have to send to a customer weekly. They are required to type a code in column E of what they invoice, and it pulls the rate into column G based on a rate table I have. The formula is: VLOOKUP(E2,Rates!A:B,2,0)
When I made the spreadsheet, the formula worked perfect. But when they type their codes in and send it back to me, it's messed up. All of the codes they've typed in do pull the correct rate. However, if I try to go to column E and type a different code on top of what they typed (a code that IS IN the rate table), it will tell me: "The value you entered is not valid. The user has restricted values that can be entered into this cell".
If I create a new tab and mimic the exact formula and columns as I am trying to work with, it works perfectly. But for some reason, once they've typed their data into my spreadsheet, something messes up even though the formula is perfect, dragged down, etc. All columns are formatted as text. And the range in the rate table is correct as well. When I try to mimic the formula in the other tab, if I click a cell in column E, there is a drop down list there showing all the available codes from my rate table to choose from. But on the spreadsheet that is messed up has no drop down list on the cells.

where I can find some documentation or information (exluding the Excel helpfile) about Excel's Array Type? There seems to be an inexplicable lack of information about it!
To be clear, when I say "array type", I mean the data type that the TYPE() worksheet function returns a value of 64 on.

I receive monthly expenditure returns from different departments which I have to consolidate. The problem I'm encountering is that some departments submit their data as a monthly figure and some as the cumulative position. It would be useful if I had a formula that identified what data type was submitted and from that calculate both the monthly and cumulative figure.
If you look at the attached example I'd like to input a formula in columns I and J that uses the data contained in columns B to E to calculate the monthly and cumulative expenditure figures.

I have a relatively simple, though large, spreadsheet. I get the following in many of my cells: The Error Checking Options button is displayed and the cell itself. is marked with a small green triangle in the upper-left corner. When I click the button, the error type is displayed, followed by the following list of error-checking options:
information specific to the error type
• Show Calculation Steps: demonstrates all steps leading to the error
• Ignore Error: allows you to accept the formula as entered, without Excel displaying the Error Checking Options smart tag
• Edit in Formula Bar: allows you to edit the formula that is generating the error in the Formula Bar
• Error Checking Options: opens the Options dialog box, where you can select the rules governing error checking
• Show Formula Auditing Toolbar: displays the Formula Auditing toolbar
When I check the formula it calculates correctly. What triggers this when there is no error, is there a way to prevent it from appearing in the worksheet?
