This piece of code worked just fine:

Dim Rng1 As Range, Rng2 As Range
Dim MyRng As Range

With Worksheets(2)
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With

With Sheets("Replace Info")
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With

Set MyRng = Range(Rng1, Rng2)
ReplaceArray = MyRng

searches = UBound(ReplaceArray, 1)

For srchCnt = 1 To searches
findIt = ReplaceArray(srchCnt, 1)
ReplaceWith = ReplaceArray(srchCnt, 2)
InColumn = ReplaceArray(srchCnt, 3)
Set rFound = Columns(InColumn).Find(findIt)

- code snipped here <-


Until I added and deleted some worksheets. Now I am getting a run-time error
1004 at the last line of that code and Rng1 = the value from cell A5.

So I tried this:

With Worksheets("Replace Info")
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With



And this,

With Sheets("Replace Info")
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With


But neither of those work.

Can someone tell me how to fix this? And, if possible tell me what I am not
getting about this? Maybe suggest some online reading. I have already
ordered 2 books that were earlier suggested, but I need to get this project
done before they get here.

Thanks for any help and insights.

Hi Ken,

It is not clear (to me!) where you say your error is occurring.

Also, why do you set the Rng1 and Rng2 variables to ranges on Worksheets(2)
and then immediately reassign these variables to ranges on the Replace Info
sheet.

Perhaps you could post the entire relevant code portion?

Sorry. I just tried to copy and paste too many segments.

I get the run-time error (1004) at this line:
Set rFound = Columns(InColumn).Find(findIt)

Instead of getting a range in Rng1, I get the value of the cell at A5 on the
"Replace Info" sheet.

I modified this sub from the code I got he

http://archive.baarns.com/excel/faq/xd_rang1.asp#5

If I really understood it, I might be able to fix what I broke.

What I need to do is replace all occurances of a string in a column with its
replacement string.

The array from rhe "Replace Info" sheet contains the string to serach for,
the the string to replace it with and the column to look in.

For example, "STREET", "ST" and 3


Here is the complete sub:

Dim iCount As Integer
Dim rngTarget As Range

Dim srchCnt As Integer

Dim m As Integer
Dim findIt As String
Dim ReplaceWith As String
Dim InColumn As Integer
Dim Rng1 As Range, Rng2 As Range
Dim MyRng As Range

With Sheets(2)
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell

rFound.Value = Application.Substitute(rFound.Value, _
findIt, ReplaceWith)
iCount = iCount + 1
Set rFound = Columns(InColumn).Cells.FindNext(rFound)
Loop
If ShowMsgs Then
MsgBox "Replaced " & iCount & " occurrences of " & findIt & "

Hi Ken,

Until I added and deleted some worksheets ...

In your code line:

Set rFound = Columns(InColumn).Find(findIt)

Columns is not qualified and, therefore, refes to the active sheet. An added
worksheet becomes the active sheet and Columns may reference the wrong
sheet.

It is much safer to explicitly qualify your ranges:

Set RFound = Sheets("Replace Info").Columns(InColumn).Find(findit)

This way, the correct range will be referenced even if you add or delete
sheets.

Hi Ken,

In addition to my adjacent post, depending on the position of added/deleted
sheets, the sheet referenced by :

Sheets(2)

will change.

To demonstrate, from the intermediate window:

? Sheets(2).Name
Sheet2

Sheets.Add Sheets befo Sheets("Sheet2")

? Sheets(2).Name
Sheet4

So, use the Sheets name instead of its index and qualify the Columns range
by prefacing it with the appropriate sheet.

Thanks for the comments. They are helping me understand better what is being
references.

I have used the debugger to get a little further in understanding why I get
the error, but still don't know how to fix it.

Given this piece of code:



Dim Rng1 As Range, Rng2 As Range
Dim MyRng As Range

With Sheets("Replace Info")
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With

Set MyRng = Range(Rng1, Rng2)
ReplaceArray = MyRng



And this data in the "Replace Info" worksheet:

PLACE PL 3
APT # 3
UNIT # 3

Note: Place is in cell A5


I would expect ReplaceArray to contain:

ReplaceArray(1,1) = "PLACE"
ReplaceArray(1,2) = "PL"
ReplaceArray(1,3) = 3
ReplaceArray(2,1) = "APT"
ReplaceArray(2,2) = "#"
ReplaceArray(2,3) = 3
ReplaceArray(3,1) = "UNIT"
ReplaceArray(3,2) = "#"
ReplaceArray(3,3) = 3


But instead, the first row of ReplaceArray contains the data from cells A1,
B1, C1. Since C1 is empty, ReplaceArray(1,3) = 0.

The InColumn get assigned the value of ReplaceArray(1,3) or zero.

So the statement that causes the 1004 error:

Set rFound = Columns(InColumn).Find(findIt)

is trying to access column zero which will cause the error.

How do I modify the code above so that ReplaceArray is populated with the
data in the cells starting at A5 and continuing thru column D and the last
row on the worksheet?

Hi Ken,

Check Column D on "Replace Info" worksheet - Wht is the last populated cell?

If I put "X", say, in D7, the ReplaceArray contents are as you intended.

I would expect ReplaceArray to contain:

ReplaceArray(1,1) = "PLACE"
ReplaceArray(1,2) = "PL"
ReplaceArray(1,3) = 3
ReplaceArray(2,1) = "APT"
ReplaceArray(2,2) = "#"
ReplaceArray(2,3) = 3
ReplaceArray(3,1) = "UNIT"
ReplaceArray(3,2) = "#"
ReplaceArray(3,3) = 3


But instead, the first row of ReplaceArray contains the data from cells
A1,
B1, C1. Since C1 is empty, ReplaceArray(1,3) = 0.

The InColumn get assigned the value of ReplaceArray(1,3) or zero.

So the statement that causes the 1004 error:

Set rFound = Columns(InColumn).Find(findIt)

is trying to access column zero which will cause the error.

How do I modify the code above so that ReplaceArray is populated with the
data in the cells starting at A5 and continuing thru column D and the last
row on the worksheet?

Hi Ken,

Until I added and deleted some worksheets ...

In your code line:

Set rFound = Columns(InColumn).Find(findIt)

Columns is not qualified and, therefore, refes to the active sheet. An
added worksheet becomes the active sheet and Columns may reference the
wrong sheet.

It is much safer to explicitly qualify your ranges:

Set RFound = Sheets("Replace Info").Columns(InColumn).Find(findit)

This way, the correct range will be referenced even if you add or delete
sheets.

This piece of code worked just fine:

Dim Rng1 As Range, Rng2 As Range
Dim MyRng As Range

With Worksheets(2)
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With

With Sheets("Replace Info")
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With

Set MyRng = Range(Rng1, Rng2)
ReplaceArray = MyRng

searches = UBound(ReplaceArray, 1)

For srchCnt = 1 To searches
findIt = ReplaceArray(srchCnt, 1)
ReplaceWith = ReplaceArray(srchCnt, 2)
InColumn = ReplaceArray(srchCnt, 3)
Set rFound = Columns(InColumn).Find(findIt)

- code snipped here <-


Until I added and deleted some worksheets. Now I am getting a run-time
error 1004 at the last line of that code and Rng1 = the value from cell
A5.

So I tried this:

With Worksheets("Replace Info")
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With



And this,

With Sheets("Replace Info")
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With


But neither of those work.

Can someone tell me how to fix this? And, if possible tell me what I am
not getting about this? Maybe suggest some online reading. I have
already ordered 2 books that were earlier suggested, but I need to get
this project done before they get here.

Thanks for any help and insights.

Thanks Norman that was it.

Hi Ken,

Try Changing:

Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp)

To:

Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp)

Thanks for the comments. They are helping me understand better what is
being
references.

I have used the debugger to get a little further in understanding why I
get
the error, but still don't know how to fix it.

Given this piece of code:



Dim Rng1 As Range, Rng2 As Range
Dim MyRng As Range

With Sheets("Replace Info")
Set Rng1 = .Range("A5") '<<=== Given Start cell
Set Rng2 = .Cells(Rows.count, "D").End(xlUp)
End With

Set MyRng = Range(Rng1, Rng2)
ReplaceArray = MyRng



And this data in the "Replace Info" worksheet:

PLACE PL 3
APT # 3
UNIT # 3

Note: Place is in cell A5


I would expect ReplaceArray to contain:

ReplaceArray(1,1) = "PLACE"
ReplaceArray(1,2) = "PL"
ReplaceArray(1,3) = 3
ReplaceArray(2,1) = "APT"
ReplaceArray(2,2) = "#"
ReplaceArray(2,3) = 3
ReplaceArray(3,1) = "UNIT"
ReplaceArray(3,2) = "#"
ReplaceArray(3,3) = 3


But instead, the first row of ReplaceArray contains the data from cells
A1,
B1, C1. Since C1 is empty, ReplaceArray(1,3) = 0.

The InColumn get assigned the value of ReplaceArray(1,3) or zero.

data in the cells starting at A5 and continuing thru column D and the
last
row on the worksheet?
