I currently have this, but I dont necessarily need a loop. I just need to see if there is any error in the usedrange, and if yes, stop the code and display the message. If no error, then just continue with the rest of the steps that are after this part of the code. Right now this loop displays this message for every error detected. I just need it to be displayed once if any error is found, and then stop the code.
Dim r As Range
For Each r In ws_DST.UsedRange
If IsError(r.Value) Then
MsgBox "Please fix any errors", vbOKOnly
End If
Next
End
How about:
Sub errortest()
On Error Resume Next
Set Rng = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, xlErrors)
On Error GoTo 0
If Rng Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
For Each r In Rng
MsgBox r.Address(0, 0)
Next r
End If
End Sub

I have a line of code that converts any cells contain #DIV/O error with 0. Which is idealy, apart from when there is no #DIV/o error found in range. When this is that case i get a run time error informing me that there is none found and then I can't move past this.
Is there a way to pass over this issue?
The code goes as follows
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, xlErrors)
For Each rCell In rng
If rCell.Value = CVErr(xlErrDiv0) Then
rCell.Value = 0
End If
Next
I have tried to play around using NullString & For loops but to no avail.
Any help would be greatful.
One way to overcome the issue is to add ErrorHandler like the one below:
Sub DivByZero()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler:
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, xlErrors)
For Each rCell In rng
If rCell.Value = CVErr(xlErrDiv0) Then
rCell.Value = 0
End If
Next
ErrHandler:
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
I am running a bit of VBA to switch an entire Excel worksheet to upper case.
However it trips over and gives a Type Mismatch error and fails half way through.
Sub MyUpperCase()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("$A$1:" & Range("$A$1").SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Address)
If Len(cell) > 0 Then cell = UCase(cell)
Next cell
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I'm assuming it is tripping over a specific cell however there are hundreds of lines. Is there a way to get it to skip errors
If you want to convert all cells to upper case text (including formulas):
Sub MyUpperCase()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim cell As Range, v As String
For Each cell In Range("$A$1:" & Range("$A$1").SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Address)
v = cell.Text
If Len(v) > 0 Then cell.Value = UCase(v)
Next cell
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Be aware that all formulas not returning Null will also be converted to Text.
To see what cell (or cells) is the problem, you could try:
On Error Resume Next 'to enable in-line error-catching
For Each cell In Range("$A$1:" & Range("$A$1").SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Address)
If Len(cell) > 0 Then cell = UCase(cell)
If Err.Number > 0 Then
Debug.Print cell.Address
Err.Clear
End If
Next cell
On Error GoTo 0 'Turn off On Error Resume Next
On Error Resume Next is often abused, especially by new VBA programmers. Don't turn it on at the beginning of a sub and never turn it off and never check Err.Number. I find it a very good idea to think of it having a specific scope, and emphasizing that scope by indenting the statements in it, as I have done above. #MacroMan raises a good point that errors shouldn't be simply ignored (which is what happens if you abuse this construct).
Add the following error trapping in the middle of your code:
On Error Resume Next
If Len(cell) > 0 Then cell = UCase(cell)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Cell " & cell.Address & " has an error !"
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Note: Your code is fine with Numeric values, it's the #NA and #DIV/0 that's raising the errors when running your original code.
I searched but could not find the way to do this.
I want to know if this is possible
if ActiveDocument.Range.Tables(1).Cell(i, 2) present
do some stuff
end if
This can work:
Dim mycell as cell
On Error Resume Next 'If an error happens after this point, just move on like nothing happened
Set mycell = ActiveDocument.Range.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1) 'try grabbing a cell in the table
On Error GoTo 0 'If an error happens after this point, do the normal Error message thingy
If mycell Is Nothing Then 'check if we have managed to grab anything
MsgBox "no cell"
Else
MsgBox "got cell"
End If
If you want to test for multiple cells in a loop, don't forget to set mycell=nothing before trying again.
(Instead of the mycell variable way, you could also check to see if an error has happened when you tried to use the cell. You could use If err > 0 Then to do that. But that way is a bit more unstable in my experience.)
Specific answer to OP's specific question:
If .Find.Found Then 'this is custom text search, has nothing to do with specified cell exist.
Set testcell = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set testcell = tbl.Cell(i, 6)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not testcell Is Nothing Then
tbl.Cell(i, 2).Merge MergeTo:=tbl.Cell(i, 3)
End If
End If
This means:
If your .find does whatever... then
Try grabbing the cell in question (the 4 rows: Set...Nothing, On error..., Set..., On Error...)
If we could grab the cell, then merge cells
Read up a bit on the error handling in VBA, the On Error statement. In VBA, there is no Try...Catch. This is what we can do instead.
I hope this clears it up.
For reference, I'll post a full code here:
Sub test()
Dim tbl As Table
Dim testcell As Cell
Set tbl = ActiveDocument.Range.Tables(1)
For i = 1 To 6
Set testcell = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set testcell = tbl.Cell(i, 6)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not testcell Is Nothing Then
tbl.Cell(i, 2).Merge MergeTo:=tbl.Cell(i, 3)
End If
Next i
End Sub
Posting the solution as a function for reference...
Function cellExists(t As table, i As Integer, j As Integer) As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
Dim c As cell
Set c = t.cell(i, j)
On Error GoTo 0
cellExists = Not c Is Nothing
End Function
I've got a spreadsheet I'm working on where sometimes my wRange has no blank cells left to use. In this case I want to jump to the end of the macro. I'm currently using this:
On Error Resume Next
wRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) = "0"
On Error GoTo -1
to deal with the error I get if there are no blank cells left after my other changes.
I'm planning on using a flag like
If wRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) is Blank Then
Boolean emptycells = FALSE
End If
Is there a better way to go about doing this? And if not, how do I go about coding this?
Thank you.
You can do it like that:
Dim blanks As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set blanks = wRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
On Error GoTo 0
If blanks Is Nothing Then
emptyCells = False
End If
mielk's answer is perfectly fine, but from reading your question it sounds like the only reason you are even using the emptyCells boolean is to go to the end of macro. So I would not even bother with it and would instead modify mielk's answer in the following way:
Whateveryoursubsnameis()
Dim rngBlanks As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set rngBlanks = wRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
On Error GoTo 0
If blanks Is Nothing Then
GoTo MacroEnd
End If
(rest of your macro's code)
MacroEnd:
End Sub
I have the following code:
ErrNr = 0
For Rw = StRw To LsRw 'ToDo speed up with fromrow torow
If Len(ThisWorkbook.Sheets(TsSh).Cells(Rw, TsCl)) = 0 Then
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(TsSh).Cells(Rw, TsCl).Interior.ColorIndex = 46
ErrNr = ErrNr + 1
End If
Next
My problem is if there is an error on the page, my code is not running after that. I think the solution should be with:
On Error Resume Next
N = 1 / 0 ' cause an error
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
N = 1
End If
But I don't know how to use this code.
It depends on what you want to do.
On Error Resume Next will ignore the fact that the error occurred. This is a great way to get your code to execute to completion, but will just about guarantee that it won't do what you want.
On Error Goto 0 is the default response. It will pop up the error message that VBA is generating
On Error Goto <label> will cause your code to jump to a specified label when an error occurs and allows you to take an appropriate action based on the error code.
The last option, On Error Goto <label> is usually the most useful, and you'll want to do some digging on how to best use it for your application.
This site is where I got the details above from, and is usually the first results that comes from Googling for "excel vba on error". I've used that reference myself a number of times.
I have interpreted your requirement as to how to handle common worksheet errors when looping through a range of cells and examining the values. If you attempt to look at a cell that contains an error (e.g. #N/A, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, etc) you will get something like:
Runtime error '13':
Type mismatch.
These can be caught with VBA's IsError function.
Dim rw As Long
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets(TsSh)
For rw = StRw To LsRw
If IsError(.Cells(rw, 1)) Then
.Cells(rw, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 10
ElseIf Not CBool(Len(.Cells(rw, 1).Value2)) Then
.Cells(rw, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 46
End If
Next rw
End With
In the above, I am catching the cells with an error and coloring them green. Note that I am examining them for errors before I check for a zero length.
I generally try to avoid On Error Resume Next as it will try to continue no matter what the error (there are some cases where it's useful though).
The code below passes all errors out of the procedure where they can be handled on a case by case basis.
Sub test1()
Dim n As Double
On Error GoTo ERROR_HANDLER
n = 1 / 0 ' cause an error
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Sub
ERROR_HANDLER:
Select Case Err.Number
Case 11 'Division by zero
n = 1
Err.Clear
Resume Next
Case 13 'Type mismatch
Case Else
'Unhandled errors.
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & vbCr & _
" (" & Err.Description & ") in procedure test1."
Err.Clear
End Select
End Sub
