Default ??? "For...Next" code only run 17/35 times


"Jaylin" wrote in message
...

I have a "for...Next" code that is supposed to loop 35 times getting value
from cell A3-A38

But it only runs from A3-A17 and stop.


I'm surprised it does that!

I have to run the code 3 times with the following modification:-
(1) run For x=A3 to A17
(2) run For x=A18 to A30
(3) run For x =A31 to A38

Hope I could have some advice to fix the problem so that I can run the
code
once.
Thanks a million for your time and expert advice :-)

Try some debug.print lines in your code. Example

Sub test()
Dim x
For x = A3 To A17
Debug.Print A3
Debug.Print A17
Debug.Print x
Next x
End Sub

When I run the above, I see a single zero but it feed three lines. VBA is
seeing A3 A17 as null and x as zero.

Without knowing what you are trying to achieve, its difficult to give a good
answer other than say if you are trying to have your code loop through your
spreadsheet, that's not the way to do it. VBA does not recognise cells
addresses in the format you use in you question.

You might try looking at the following site under the heading 'Arrays'.
http://www.puremis.net/excel/tips.shtml This will show you how to pull
values from a spreadsheet into an array, how to do a simple modification and
put it back.

You might also look at "Range property" and "Cells Property" in VBA help and
look at the examples.
