Excel Vba Syntax Error In From Clause
my best to work this out myself. But I am stuck. I excel vba syntax error (missing operator) in query expression am working up a program that will eventually find data in cells, set them as variables, go to another sheet, look vba syntax error sub for the cell with the same contents as the variable, go x number of cells to the right and paste something. I have got it as far as searching and finding the cell

using a real number, but when I try to get it to search using the variable, it gives me runtime error 91. Here is the code: Sub Matching()Dim varItemNumber As Integer 'Select The first cell of item numbersSheets("Output").SelectRange("A2").Select 'Set the current cell as the variablevarItemNumber = ActiveCell.Value Sheets("Test").Select Columns("A:A").Select Selection.find(What:="011010", After:=ActiveCell).Activate 'Above works to find that cell with 011010 but I want it to use

below to find whatever the variable is. Can someone help with the syntax? 'Selection.find(What:=" & varItemNumber & ", After:=ActiveCell).Activate End Sub Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:32 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote Thanks, that helped but didn't actually work. I played around with it a little more and simply by removing the ampersands it worked. End result is Selection.find(What:=varItemNumber, After:=ActiveCell).Activate Thanks for your help.

In other words, instead of: Selection.find(What:=" & varItemNumber & ", After:=ActiveCell).Activate, try Selection.find(What:= & varItemNumber &, After:=ActiveCell).Activate. Of course varItemNumber must be of String trype. Wednesday, March 28, 2007 6:33 PM Reply | Quote 0 Sign in to vote Thanks, that helped but didn't actually work.

are:Compile Errors;Runtime Errors;Logical Errors ('bugs'). These three VBA error types are discussed in turn, below.Compile ErrorsAuto Syntax Check OptionThe Auto Syntax Check option causes a vba runtime error message box to pop up whenever a syntax error is typed into

the visual basic editor.If this option is switched off, the visual basic editor still highlights syntax errors in red.The sql syntax error Auto Syntax Check option is accessed by selecting Tools→Options from the menu at the top of the visual basic editor.Compile Errors are recognised by the VBA compiler as being illegal https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/bcb0b3cc-40e3-46d1-9e61-c6bcfece7c8e/vba-syntax-error-excel-please-help-easy-one?forum=vbgeneral and therefore, are highlighted as errors before your macro even starts to run.If you type in a syntax error, the VBA editor will immediately highlight this, either by popping up a message box or by highlighting the error in red, depending on the setting of the Auto Syntax Check option (see rightabove).Alternatively, a compile error may be detected when the http://www.excelfunctions.net/VBA-Error.html code is compiled, just before being executed.A compile error is generally easy to fix, as the VBA compiler pops up a message box, which provides information on the nature of the error.For example, if you get the message "Compile error: Variable not defined" when you attempt to run your code, this indicates that you are attempting to use, or access, a variable that has not been declared in the current scope. (This error is only generated when you are using Option Explicit). Runtime ErrorsRuntime errors occur during the execution of your code, and cause the code to stop running. This type of VBA error is also relatively easy to fix, as you will be given details of the nature of the error, and shown the location where the code has stopped running.For example, if your code attempts to divide by zero, you will be presented with a message box, which states "Run-time error '11': Division by zero".Depending on the structure of your VBA project, you may be given the option to debug the code, (see below). In this case, click

Some other problems are not under http://www.functionx.com/vbaexcel/Lesson26.htm your control. Fortunately, both Microsoft Excel and the VBA language provide various tools or means of dealing with errors. Practical Learning:Introducing Error Handling Open the Georgetown Dry Cleaning Services1 spreadsheet and click the Employees tab Click the Payroll tab Click the TimeSheet tab To save the workbook and prepare it for code, press F12 Specify the folder as (My) Documents In the Save As Type combo box, select Excel syntax error Macro-Enabled Workbook Click Save Introduction to Handling Errors To deal with errors in your code, the Visual Basic language provides various techniques. One way you can do this is to prepare your code for errors. When an error occurs, you would present a message to the user to make him/her aware of the issue (the error). To prepare a message, you create a section of code in the procedure where the vba syntax error error would occur. To start that section, you create a label. Here is an example: Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click() ThereWasBadCalculation: End Sub After (under) the label, you can specify your message. Most of the time, you formulate the message using a message box. Here is an example: Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click() ThereWasBadCalculation: MsgBox "There was a problem when performing the calculation" End Sub If you simply create a label and its message like this, its section would always execute: Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click() Dim HourlySalary As Double, WeeklyTime As Double Dim WeeklySalary As Double ' One of these two lines could produce an error, such as ' if the user types an invalid number HourlySalary = CDbl(txtHourlySalary) WeeklyTime = CDbl(txtWeeklyTime) ' If there was an error, the flow would jump to the label WeeklySalary = HourlySalary * WeeklyTime txtWeeklySalary = FormatNumber(WeeklySalary) ThereWasBadCalculation: MsgBox "There was a problem when performing the calculation" End Sub To avoid this, you should find a way to interrupt the flow of the program before the label section. One way you can do this is to add a line marked Exit Sub before the label. This would be done as follows: Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click() Dim HourlySalary As Double, WeeklyTime As Double Dim WeeklySalary As Double ' One of these
