First time poster in StackOverflow (but not stackexchange) so please let me know if I can clarify or make any formatting changes. Thank you.
Try as I might, I can't find the answer to this question. I suspect it's due to a lack of understanding when it comes to the basics of VBA. I have knowledge of VBA, but little understanding. That being said, here's the problem.
I've set up a form control Combo Box linked to a macro. I've set the input range to a list of hyperlinks in a different sheet and named the range "Hyperlinks". Each hyperlink is to a different sheet in the workbook. I've set the cell link to a blank sell adjacent to the hyperlinks and named it "Linked_Cell." A picture is below.
Form Control View
The macro code is as follows
Sub DropDown10_Change()
HyperLink_Index = Range("Linked_cell")
If Range("HyperLinks").Offset(HyperLink_Index - 1, 0).Hyperlinks(1).Name <> "" Then
Range("HyperLinks").Offset(HyperLink_Index - 1, 0).Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
End If
End Sub
This automatically moves someone to the sheet they select when they select that sheet from the drop-down menu.
I would like to use an Active X combo box instead of a form control for all the obvious reasons (resize text, etc.) However, I can't get it to work.
I've set "ListFillRange" to "Hyperlinks" and linked cell to "Linked_cell" and entered the same macro code. It looks like this:
View of Active X Combo Box
When I select from the drop down in the Active X Combo box I receive run time error 1004: "Method 'range' of object '_worksheet' failed." I've verified that my named ranges are correct and the code returns no such error when it's in a macro linked to a form control.
Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!
UPDATE: Fixed the Range error by updating the code to the following
Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Dim HyperLink_Index As Range
Set HyperLink_Index = Sheets("SheetList").Range("Linked_Cell")
If Sheets("SheetList").Range("HyperLinks").Offset(HyperLink_Index - 1, 0).Hyperlinks(1).Name <> "" Then
Sheets("SheetList").Range("HyperLinks").Offset(HyperLink_Index - 1, 0).Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
End If
End Sub
I now receive a Type Mismatch error on the beginning of the IF statement. I don't see the error and still have no idea why this behavior doesn't appear for identical macro code linked to a form control.
P.S. Sorry, I don't mean to turn StackOverflow in to my personal debugging team, so the main question I have is "Why is the behavior different between a macro and active x code?"
UPDATE 2: Found a fix. Was using the wrong index. The fix is below. Leaving it here in case someone else can find it useful.
Sub ComboBox1_Change()
If ComboBox1.Value <> "" Then
Sheets("SheetList").Range("Hyperlinks").Hyperlinks(ComboBox1.ListIndex + 1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
End If
End Sub

Good afternoon.
I’m new at VBA. From my research on the internet, I’ve been able to add some lines that display a message box when an NG is entered into a cell within the range. However, when I try to delete the inputs from several cells, I get a Run-time error ‘13’: Type mismatch message. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong and how to fix it? I’ve added the code that I put in VBA below:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("I3:JY30")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Value <> "NG" Then Exit Sub
MsgBox "ATTENTION: If bell cup is No Good, please replace with new cup and notify supervisor/leader for review. Also, document bell cup serial number and concern on worksheet titled Scrap Bell Tracking "
End Sub
Also, when I click Debug, the If Target.Value <> "NG" Then is highlighted.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Target is a Range, and hence it may consist of more than one cell. In that case, the Value property is invalid.
A simple solution would be to ignore changes with more than one cell: For that, we need to add the following before the access to the Value property:
If Target.Count <> 1 Then Exit Sub
But that would not show a message if e. g. the user pastes five cells, and one or more of them contain the text. The perfect solution would be looping through the range and check each cell separately. And then you would have to think if you want to show the message more than one time if the text is found in more than one cell. So, I will leave that as an exercise to the reader...
I am totally new to VBA. I use it maybe once a year and when I do I search this and other forums for code. For my humble needs, that usually works perfectly. Unfortunately due to my lack of real understanding of the code, in this case I am unable to see what I`m doing wrong. So hopefully somebody can help.
I have a timesheet where I want to copy the values to a datasheet. I have that working. But it is important that the users fill-out the right weeknumber in the form. In order to check if they have done that, I have written a piece of code that should return a messagebox when the weeknumber is not filled. When I simply use a reference to a single cell the code works. But as the weeknumber is not filled in in the same cell on all forms I want the macro to search for the text "Weeknumber: " and then check if the cell next to it is empty or not.
Sub Weeknumber()
dim cl as Range
Worksheets("Invul_Tabel").Activate
With Worksheets("Invul_Tabel").Cells
Set cl = .Find("Weeknummer:", After:=.Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlValues)
If IsEmpty(Range(cl).Offset(0, 1).Value) = True Then
MsgBox "Geen weeknummer ingevuld"
Exit Sub
End If
End With
End Sub
The code gives an error on the "If IsEmpty" line" (error 1004).
Is probably simple, but i can`t seem to figure it out!
Your cl variable is already a range.
Change
If IsEmpty(Range(cl).Offset(0, 1).Value) = True Then
to
If IsEmpty(cl.Offset(0, 1).Value) Then
i am working on a userform where i puted a button that when i click on it i got an input box where i try to filter data of the column (E) then after filtering this data copy from colum A1 till the value filtered in the column E in another sheet caaled filtred_data i am using this code this code but it show me a bug dont nw how to fix it
Private Sub CommandButton9_Click()
Dim xno As Integer, Found As Range
Do
xno = Application.InputBox("Enter the number of Top communities ", Type:=1)
If TypeName(xno) = "Boolean" Then Exit Sub
Set Found = Columns("E").Find(what:=xno, lookat:=xlWhole, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Found Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "the number was not found, please try again !!", vbInformation
Else
Found.Range("A1:F10000").Copy Destination:=Sheets("filtred_data").Range("A1:F10000")
End If
Loop
End Sub
if anyone can help me please , thank you
The problem in your case is that you are setting the Found variable to be a single cell by using the Find method. Later in your code, you are trying to copy the A1:F10000 of that ONE cell when you write Found.Range("A1:F1000").
Essentially, your code looks like this (assume Found refers to cell E25):
Range("E25").Range("A1:F1000").Copy
Can you see why that would cause an error?
I'd try to offer more help, but it's hard to determine exactly what you want. Can you possibly give more details about your spreadsheet layouts and an example of what you want to happen?
I have this simple VBA code with which I want to change the background of the selected cells. Somehow the command Selection. that I learned before doesn't work. Could you help me with this code? I know the answer is probably stupid, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Sub set_background_color()
'Add background color to selected cells
Selection.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End Sub
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry for the vague question, it's my first question on stack overflow so I didn't think of the importance of the type of error. It gives me the error "Compile error: Expected function or variable".
It is attached to a button, but even if I run it as a macro without button it gives me the same error.
EDIT 2: I'm running Excel 2011 on a Mac, until now it never gave me any compatibility issues in VBA. However this does not seem to work.
The problem is not within your code, it is within your cells.
Check the locked status of the cells and the protection status of the worksheet.
If your worksheet is not protected then try this
Sub set_background_color()
Dim r As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set r = Selection
On Error GoTo 0
If Not r Is Nothing Then
r.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Selection"
End If
End Sub
I have scoured the Internet and I have found a handful of possible solutions to this issue, but I wanted to ask here as well.
The goal is to click a button, and spell check an entire sheet.
Here's some code
Sub spellCheck()
Sheet1.Cells.CheckSpelling
End Sub
Also, I found this:
Sub SpellCheck()
Dim Checkword As String, Result As Boolean
Checkword = Selection.Value
Result = Application.CheckSpelling(Checkword)
Selection.Offset(0, 1) = Result
End Sub
Any ideas? Neither is working for me. Thanks!
You can check the whole workbook by doing something like:
Sub SpellCheck()
For Each sh In Worksheets
Sheets(sh.Name).Cells.CheckSpelling
Next
End Sub
this will cycle through each sheet in the entire book and run a spellcheck on each one. What I can't figure out yet is how to make the spell checker actually move to the position of the spelling error. So, with the above you just get a list of spelling errors with no context with which to asses them.
I noticed I just had a typo in my code.
Below works:
Sub spellCheck()
Sheet1.Cells.CheckSpelling
End Sub
But, if anyone knows how to do the entire workbook, I'd be interested in that. Thanks.
This code will work on selected cells .This will highlight if any spell mistakes in a cell
Dim Myrange As Range
Selection.SpecialCells(xlVisible).Select
For Each Myrange In Selection
If Application.CheckSpelling(word:=Myrange.Value) = False Then
Myrange.Font.Color = vbRed
End If
Next
OK, so you can use the following command to invoke the toolbar's spellchecker which does move you to the position of the spelling error as long as you have screen updating enabled at the time.
Application.CommandBars("Tools").Controls("Spelling...").Execute
You can use this command embedded in the loop above to loop through the sheets in the workbook and invoke this command on each new sheet.
Cap
This uses a code snippet from a previous answer to restrict the area used for spellchecking to a specific region. Something I needed to do in a small project. This give the full functionallity of the spellchecker with errors shown in context. The rowNumber is calculated elsewhere.The selection range can be fully controlled elsewhere in your code to suit your particular need. Thought this might help others searching this posting.
With Sheets("Sheet1")
slic = CStr(rowNumber)
.Range("AL3:AN" & slic).Select
Application.CommandBars("Tools").Controls("Spelling...").Execute
End With
Thanks to previous posters this solved a problem form me. I am most grateful.
