vbscript unknown runtime error for excel - vba

I get an error for "" at line 28 (If statement). I'm not sure what is the issue as I have defined everything correctly and make sure the paths are corrects. Can someone please help? I'm trying to grab corresponding group for each user from one sheet to another sheet. here is my code:
for each ColValue1 in objWorksheet1.Range("A1:A" & intlastrow1)
introw1= introw1+1
for each ColValue2 in objWorksheet2.Range("A1:A" & intLastRow2)
introw2 = introw2+2
if ColValue1 = ColValue2 then
...

The cells you are looping through should be declared as a range. Then compare their values.
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim ColValue1 As Range
Dim ColValue2 As Range
Set ColValue1 = ws.Range("A1")
Set ColValue2 = ws.Range("A2")
If ColValue1.Value = ColValue2.Value Then
MsgBox "They are the same"
Else
MsgBox "They are not the same"
End If

Syntax for VBA Vlookup to another workbook

I'm trying to perform a VLOOKUP in VBA, using a table in a different workbook.
I've tried:
width = Application.VLookup(code, Workbooks("T:\Data\Dimensions.xlsx").Sheets("Main").Range("A61:G1500"), 7, False)
where code is a variable I've already set, but it just returns "Subscript out of range".
I'm sure you can see what I'm trying to do, but I'm guessing I've got the syntax wrong in the vlookup.
Thanks.
Make sure the target workbook is opened. Try this:
Set src = Workbooks.Open("T:\Data\Dimensions.xlsx")
width = Application.VLookup(code, src.Sheets("Main").Range("A61:G1500"), 7, False)
The code below is a little long, but it will work you through step-by-step, defining and setting all your objects (see comments in the code itself).
You also need to handle a scenario where Vlookup will not be able to find code in your specified Range,
Code
Option Explicit
Sub VlookupClosedWorkbook()
Dim Width, code
Dim WorkbookName As String
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim Sht As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range
WorkbookName = "Dimensions.xlsx"
' set the workbook object
On Error Resume Next
Set WB = Workbooks(WorkbookName) ' first try to see if the workbook already open
On Error GoTo 0
If WB Is Nothing Then ' if workbook = Nothing (workbook is closed)
Set WB = Workbooks.Open("T:\Data\" & WorkbookName)
End If
' set the worksheet object
Set Sht = WB.Sheets("Main")
' set the Range object
Set Rng = Sht.Range("A61:G1500")
' verify that Vlookup found code in the Range
If Not IsError(Application.VLookup(code, Rng, 7, False)) Then
Width = Application.VLookup(code, Rng, 7, False)
Else
MsgBox "Vlookyp Error finding " & code
End If
End Sub
You have to open that workbook or use cell to get value from closed one
range("A1").formula = "=vlookup(" & code & ",'T:\Data\[Dimensions.xlsx]Main'!A61:G1500,7,0)"
range("A1").calculate
width = range("A1").value

Copying values from selected row to a specific cells in another worksheet - macro

I have a list of items and a new sheet button like this:
For each item you have to be able to create new worksheet when you click on that button. It copies a worksheet from a template, one worksheet for a single row. Now i want to be able to copy some of the info from a row i select to that new worksheet cells when i click on the button and maybe rename the worksheet as a value in one of the cells (ID). The values i need are ID and name, maybe few more.
Sub AddNameNewSheet2()
Dim CurrentSheetName As String
CurrentSheetName = ActiveSheet.Name
'Add New Sheet
Dim i As Byte, sh As Worksheet
For i = 1 To 1
Sheets("Predlozak").Copy After:=Sheets("Predlozak")
Set sh = ActiveSheet
Next i
On Error Resume Next
'Get the new name
ActiveSheet.Name = InputBox("Name for new worksheet?")
'Keep asking for name if name is invalid - Here i want to change worksheet name to a specific cell value from selected row.
Do Until Err.Number = 0
Err.Clear
ActiveSheet.Name = InputBox("Try Again!" _
& vbCrLf & "Invalid Name or Name Already Exists" _
& vbCrLf & "Please name the New Sheet")
Loop
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
Anyone has an idea how can i make this work?
Here's what I came up with, I also thought checkboxes would be a good way to pick the line, it's quite simple:
Sub AddNameNewSheet2()
Dim x As Long
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim IdCell As Range, NamCell As Range, FormCell As Range
Set wks = ActiveSheet
Set IdCell = wks.Range("A:A").Find("TRUE").Offset(0, 1)
Set FormCell = IdCell.End(xlToRight)
Set NamCell = IdCell.Offset(0, 1)
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(1), Type:= _
"C:\Users\*yournamehere*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\*yourtemplatehere*.xltm"
ActiveSheet.Name = NamCell
Dim wks2T As ListObject
Set wks2T = ActiveSheet.ListObjects(1)
With wks2T
.ListColumns(1).Range(2) = IdCell.Value
.ListColumns(2).Range(2).Value = NamCell.Value
.ListColumns(3).Range(2).Value = FormCell.Value
End With
End Sub
I made the template a table cause it is easier to specify exactly where to put stuff. And it is more manageable as more data is added in the future.

Macro VBA: Match text cells across two workbooks and paste

I need help modifying a macro that matches the part number (Column C) between two sheets in different workbooks. Then it pastes the info from 'Original' sheet from the range P9:X6500 into the 'New' sheet into the range P9:X6500. The first sheet 'Original' in column C range C9:C6500 is the matching part number column. The 'New' sheet has the same column C with the part number to match. I only want match and paste the visible values.
I originally had this macro code which copy pastes only visible values from one workbook to another that I would like to modify it to match and copy paste:
Sub GetDataDemo()
Const FileName As String = "Original.xlsx"
Const SheetName As String = "Original"
FilePath = "C:\Users\me\Desktop\"
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim this As Worksheet
Dim i As Long, ii As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If IsEmpty(Dir(FilePath & FileName)) Then
MsgBox "The file " & FileName & " was not found", , "File Doesn't Exist"
Else
Set this = ActiveSheet
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(FilePath & FileName)
With wb.Worksheets(SheetName).Range("P9:X500")
On Error Resume Next
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy this.Range("P9")
On Error GoTo 0
End With
End If
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("NEW").Activate
End Sub
Also here is what I want it to look like:
Original
NEW
I appreciate the help!
try the following where it copies the range from one sheet to the other. You can break up With wb.Worksheets(SheetName).Range("P9:X500") into With wb.Worksheets(SheetName) then use .Range("P9:X500").Copy this.Range("P9") inside the With statement. Avoid using names like i or ii or this and use something more descriptive. The error handling is essentially only dealing with Sheets not being present and i think better handling of that scenario could be done. Finally, you need to turn ScreenUpdating back on to view changes.
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetDataDemo()
Const FILENAME As String = "Original.xlsx"
Const SHEETNAME As String = "Original"
Const FILEPATH As String = "C:\Users\me\Desktop\"
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim this As Worksheet 'Please reconsider this name
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If IsEmpty(Dir(FILEPATH & FILENAME)) Then
MsgBox "The file " & FILENAME & " was not found", , "File Doesn't Exist"
Else
Set this = ActiveSheet
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(FILEPATH & FILENAME)
With wb.Worksheets(SHEETNAME)
'On Error Resume Next ''Not required here unless either of sheets do not exist
.Range("P9:X500").Copy this.Range("P9")
' On Error GoTo 0
End With
End If
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("NEW").Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True ' so you can see the changes
End Sub
UPDATE: As OP wants to match between sheets on column C in both and paste associated row information across (Col P to Col X) second code version posted below
Version 2:
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetDataDemo()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim lookupRange As Range
Dim matchRange As Range
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set lookupRange = wb.Worksheets("Original").Range("C9:C500")
Set matchRange = wb.Worksheets("ThisSheet").Range("C9:C500")
Dim lookupCell As Range
Dim matchCell As Range
With wb.Worksheets("Original")
For Each lookupCell In lookupRange
For Each matchCell In matchRange
If Not IsEmpty(matchCell) And matchCell = lookupCell Then 'assumes no gaps in lookup range
matchCell.Offset(0, 13).Resize(1, 9).Value2 = lookupCell.Offset(0, 13).Resize(1, 9).Value2
End If
Next matchCell
Next lookupCell
End With
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("NEW").Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
You may need to amend a few lines to suit your environment e.g. change this to meet your sheet name (pasting to).
Set matchRange = wb.Worksheets("ThisSheet").Range("C9:C500")

Populating ComboBox with dynamic values from another worksheet

---Update---
Thanks for the responses, I have found that DragonSamu's updated answer works perfectly.
---Original Post---
I have been trying to figure out where I am going wrong for the past few hours but I can't spot it. I think it's because the script is trying to draw the value from the active worksheet which is not what I want. Hopefully somebody can put me on the rite track - I think the answer should be relatively obvious but I just can't see it!
Basically, I am trying to populate a Combobox with a dynamic range of values that exist in another worksheet (but in the same workbook). I can get the Combobox to populate when I run the script in the worksheet 'Materials' (which is where the dynamic list is drawn from) but not when I run it in the worksheet 'Products'.
Unfortunately the script is designed to populate Products with Materials so is be run in a UserForm when the 'Products' worksheet is open and the 'Materials' worksheet would therefore be inactive.
I should also note that this script has been adapted from code I found elsewhere on this forum, so if it seems familiar I thank you in advance :)
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim rRange As Range
On Error GoTo ErrorHandle
'We set our range = the cell B7 in Materials
Set rRange = Worksheets("Materials").Range("B7")
'Check if the cell is empty
If Len(rRange.Formula) = 0 Then
MsgBox "The list is empty"
GoTo BeforeExit
End If
'Finds the next empty row and expands rRange
If Len(rRange.Offset(1, 0).Formula) > 0 Then
Set rRange = Range(rRange, rRange.End(xlDown))
End If
'The range's address is our rowsource
Mat1_Name_ComBox.RowSource = rRange.Address
Mat2_Name_ComBox.RowSource = rRange.Address
Mat3_Name_ComBox.RowSource = rRange.Address
Mat4_Name_ComBox.RowSource = rRange.Address
Mat5_Name_ComBox.RowSource = rRange.Address
BeforeExit:
Set rRange = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrorHandle:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume BeforeExit
End Sub
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Simon
From what I can see your code would be giving an error here:
If Len(rRange.Offset(1, 0).Formula) > 0 Then
Set rRange = Range(rRange, rRange.End(xlDown))
End If
Because your trying to set rRange by using Range() without defining the Worksheet first. This will get the Range from the ActiveWorksheet.
change it to the following:
If Len(rRange.Offset(1, 0).Formula) > 0 Then
Set rRange = Worksheets("Materials").Range(rRange, rRange.End(xlDown))
End If
best practice would be the following:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim wb as Workbook
Dim sh as Worksheet
Dim rRange As Range
On Error GoTo ErrorHandle
'Set the Workbook and Worksheet
set wb = Workbooks("products.xlsx")
set sh = wb.Worksheets("Materials")
'We set our range = the cell B7 in Materials
Set rRange = sh.Range("B7")
'Check if the cell is empty
If Len(rRange.Formula) = 0 Then
MsgBox "The list is empty"
GoTo BeforeExit
End If
'Finds the next empty row and expands rRange
If Len(rRange.Offset(1, 0).Formula) > 0 Then
Set rRange = sh.Range(rRange, rRange.End(xlDown))
End If
By properly defining and setting your Workbook and Worksheet you correctly reference to them and don't get errors.
Update:
the 2nd problem is that rRange.Address only places the Range location inside your .RowSource not the Sheet it needs to look at.
change:
Mat1_Name_ComBox.RowSource = rRange.Address
to:
dim strSheet as String
strSheet = "Materials"
Mat1_Name_ComBox.RowSource = strSheet + "!" + rRange.Address
This way it will include the Sheet name into the .RowSource

how to create worksheets from a dynamic lis of values in vb

I have a list of values in a excel name range .I want to write a VB code so as to create worksheets using those list of values.These list of values keep on changing.
Here is the code:
Sub AddSheets()
Dim cell As Excel.Range
Dim wsWithSheetNames As Excel.Worksheet
Dim wbToAddSheetsTo As Excel.Workbook
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
Set wsWithSheetNames = ActiveSheet
Set wbToAddSheetsTo = ActiveWorkbook
For Each cell In wsWithSheetNames.Range("sheet_name").End(xlDown)
With wbToAddSheetsTo
.Sheets.Add after:=.Sheets(.Sheets.Count)
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Name = cell.Value
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
Debug.Print cell.Value & " already used as a sheet name"
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End With
Next cell
Here sheet_name(cells in a single column) is the namerange where the name of the sheets to be created is dumped.
The no of sheets may change.
My above code does not work correctly , it just creates the a sheet with the sheet name of last value in this range.Where am i going wrong? I am new to VB.what may be a better way to do this?
This line:
For Each cell In wsWithSheetNames.Range("sheet_name").End(xlDown)
Get rid of the .End(xlDown), this is only grabbing the last value, as you said.
In naming the range, just using the name already has the entire range defined.
You are almost there. Notice the line below in your script, and just get rid of .End(xldown) at the end.
---For Each cell In wsWithSheetNames.Range("sheet_name").End(xlDown)-----
change to
---For Each cell In wsWithSheetNames.Range("sheet_name")-----
Then it will add the individual sheetname one after another.
