within a template then exported to .xls or .xlsx from a separate application. This macro is to copy two columns 'x' number of times depending on a quantity that is entered into a cell. Sub Matrix_Quantity() Dim x As Integer x = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Inspection Sampling Matrix").Cells(11, 4) Dim n As Integer n = x - 1 For numtimes = 1 To n 'Loop by using x as the index number to make x number copies. Sheets("Inspection Report").Columns("F:G").Select Selection.Copy Selection.Insert Shift:=x1 excel run time error 1004 method range of object _global failed + nToRight Next End Sub The problem I am having is that when the macro is run withing the template (.xlt) it runs fine. As soon as the template is converted to .xls or .xlsx it spots working and gives a runtime error. When debugging the macro it highlights Sheets("Inspection Report").Columns("F:G").Select My feeling is that it is looking to select the columns in the .xlt workbook but when converted to .xls or .xlsx it is still trying to look for the .xlt workbook and I'm not sure how or why its doing this. excel vba excel-vba share|improve this question edited Feb 6 '15 at 21:55 RubberDuck 5,67322458 asked Mar 5 '14 at 19:21 user3384820 1111 1 it's because your sheet Inspection Report isn't active at the moment macro runs. Read how to avoid using Select/Active statements, please. You could replace your code with Sheets("Inspection Report").Columns("F:G").Copy and Sheets("Inspection Report").Columns("F:G").Insert Shift:=x1 + nToRight –simoco Mar 5 '14 at 19:22 Thanks for the response. When I plug in the code you recommended and run the macro Excel will crash with no error. It simply brings up the windows error "Microsoft Excel has Stopped Working" –user3384820 Mar 5 '14 at 19:37 Actually, I can't understand what are you tring to do here: Shift:=x1 + nToRight? should it be Shift:=xlToRight? –simoco Mar 5 '14 at 19:56 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active olde

If I don't click on anything it works without issue. Script errors out only when I'm trying to place selection back into A1 from the "Input" sheet. Break point is on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36165887/run-time-error-1004-select-method-of-range-class-failed-using-thisworkbook following line: ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Input").Range("A1").Select If I debug and place focus back on macro Worksheet the script completes without issue. Previous line: ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Input").Cells.Delete runs without error so I'm guessing its the range that is falling out of scope but don't quite understand why as it should be defined by the previous scope notations. Can someone explain why that line is falling out of scope? Shouldn't the ThisWorkbook define fairly explicitly the Workbook that my code is referencing? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. excel excel-vba share|improve this question asked Mar 22 at 21:48 nbayly 1,2741212 Interesting. Would you do me a favor and test one thing? Replace ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Input").Range("A1").Select with shtInputSheetCodeName.Range("A1").Select and try it again. Of course you'll have to exchange the CodeName for the real one ? ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Input").CodeName Another thing would be to Activate the sheet before .Selecting anything on the sheet. So, try to place a ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Input").Activate just before you Select. –Ralph Mar 22 at 22:03 Also see How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA macros –Siddharth Rout Mar 23 at 7:12 Same issue using CodeName.

If I'm in Sheet1, and write e.g. Sheets("Sheet2").Select Columns("A:A").Select ...then Excel assumes you are referring to the Columns on Sheet1 as it treats the current sheet as a default. Therefore, you've told Excel "select Sheet 2" then "select a column on Sheet 1"...which it can't do so it gives you an error message

It's only a few lines of code, and I've written it several times and it has worked perfectly. However, this time, I get an error message: Select Method of Range class failed. The section of code that is causing the problem is: If (Range("Month") = "9") Then Sheets("Analysis May 08 NLD").Activate Range("A2:B51").Select 'code that is causing the problem Application.Run ("EssmenuRetrieve") Sheets("Analysis May 08 LDD").Activate Range("A2:B51").Select Application.Run ("EssmenuRetrieve") MsgBox ("Data Retrieved") The value in the cell "Month" is 9, so that part of the code is working properly. I've tried changing the value in that cell to another number, and running the code, after changing the sheet name to the corresponding month, however, I got an error at the same point. I've made sure that everything is typed in correctly (as i said, i've written this bit of code before). Any suggestions? Thanks!!
