How to trap an error with onError in a for i loop
I am pretty new to VBA in Excel and am working through some stuff that will
help me at work. I wrote some code that essentially looks at one file, finds a value (inventory number in this case) in a column, goes over a few cells, copies the cell (on hand value) and then finds that same inventory number in another workbook and pastes it a few cells over in that workbook. It works fine, but to get better at this, I want to be able to handle errors. I have purposly sabotaged some of the cells so that it won't be able to find the value it is looking forand will cause an error just to see what happend. I use the "onError" event, but I am running a loop and it only works once, but not if there are more than one error. I just want it to skip the instructions between the OnError and the line it says to go to. Again, it does actually work once, but the next time it just gives me the error again. By the way, this repeats hundreds of times. Here is some of the code, I know it could be more efficient, but you'll get the point. What I want to know is how to make it skip a step everytime it finds an error ,not just the first time. 'sets variable equal the total number of rows in the sheet intRowCount = Range("A2").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count 'start loop to run through all the active cells For i = 1 To intRowCount 'Sets the contents of the current cell as the variable varItemNumber = ActiveCell.Value 'Moves 0 cells down and 18 cells right (where this data should be) ActiveCell.Offset(0, 18).Select 'Copies the data from the cell ActiveCell.Copy 'Switch to the other sheet where the data will be used Windows("Daily Analysis for Bug Testing.xls").Activate Sheets("Products").Select 'Selects the entire row of item numbers to "find" from Columns("A:A").Select 'Finds the cell that contains the item number that was stored as "varItemNumber" On Error GoTo line1 Selection.Find(What:=varItemNumber).Activate 'Moves 6 spaces to the right ActiveCell.Offset(0, 6).Select 'Pastes the data Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False 'Goes back to the original sheet line1: Windows("Workbook.xls").Activate Sheets("Data").Select 'moves one cell down and 2 cells to the left to pickup the next item number ActiveCell.Offset(1, -18).Select 'starts the loop all over again Next i Any help would be much appreciated. |
