Hello JohnnyL

I tried again and tested the 600 GSTIN numbers and noticed that the web site is checking only 500 numbers and the remaining numbers even though they are correct, they are displayed as #N/A. This is because the web site is handling 500 number only. The code is displaying the result of 500 numbers only (Check to confirm GST Taxpayers Sheet) and obviously it will color all the cells which are not in the GST Taxpayers sheet. If you sort the result by color, the 600 numbers in the purchases sheet and copy the yellow cells and paste it in the web site, you will see that most of them are all active and correct numbers.

I think there is a way to get all the GSTIN numbers in one shot.

Here goes,

As you know the list in purchases sheet contains the GSTIN numbers to be verified. Select all the GSTIN numbers in a different sheet (Just in the clipboard, not to be displayed in the workbook), remove duplicates, check the count of number of GSTIN numbers. If there are less than 500 do nothing but run the rest of the code. If the count is more than 500 say 800, then select the first 400 and paste it in the web site to get it verified. Now, I think you can use what you call the loop function and again select the balance 400 and get it verified.

If there are 2,000 or 20,000 or any number of unique GSTIN numbers in a single data, then instead of 500 select 400 at a time to be on the safer side and use loop as many times till you get all the numbers verified. I know the code will take more time to run but to get the perfect result I can't think of any other better option to get all of them verified at a time.

I hope it Is possible..? 🤞🤞
Check GSTIN using Loop.xlsm
If you delete the rows below row 500, the code will work. Before deleting make a copy of the sheet for reference.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
I have entered 2 correct GSTIN numbers at every 400 rows because one correct GSTIN number will generate an error, as that is still not yet resolved.

It is working on the sample sheet, but the code displayed an error 94.
Rich (BB code):
            Set WB = Workbooks.Open(.document.querySelector("[class='pull-right btn btn-sm btn-excel']"))   '       Open the download link into workbook
I pressed end and checked...... and VIOLA. It was displayed as expected. The NA are not colored as yellow in the Purchases sheet.
I will test it with the GSTIN list which has more than 600 unique correct GSTIN numbers and will let you soon.

The code ends with an error not MsgBox "GSTIN not matching. Check & Edit." as it should.

The error displayed is at this line

What is the error message? Did you try to run it again to see if it gave the same error?
 
Upvote 0
I ran it 3 times and I got the same error message. Give me some time I will check with some other data and revert back. Till then, you can check why the NA numbers are not colored yellow in the purchases sheet.

You will not get to the code that colors the rows on the 'Purchases' sheet if you are are getting the error on the line that you mentioned.
