Hi,

Please can someone help me?

I have the following code which was working fine on last years workbook but for some reason at the start of this year it hasn't worked.

The workbooks are identical apart from the dates and because the code doesn't error I was hoping someone could explain the best they can to me what exactly is happening?

I have checked both codes against each other and they are the same.

Here is the code:
VBA Code: 
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("WEEKLY").Select

Dim lrSCA, lrSCB, lrTBA, lrWA, lrWB, lrEPT, lrFPT, lrMPA1, lrMPA2, lrMPB1, lrMPB2 As Long
'    Dim vCol

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'SHUTTLE CAR A
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dim xRowSCA As Long



lrSCA = Sheets("WEEKLY").Range("P6").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row


For xRowSCA = lrSCA To 6 Step -1   '6 is the first row with data

    If cells(xRowSCA, "P") <> "" And cells(xRowSCA, "P") <> "N/A" And cells(xRowSCA, "C") = "A" Then
        cells(xRowSCA, "P").Select

 Select Case ActiveCell

                    Case Is = "DB1", "AL1", "PD1", "MG1", "RT1", "DS1":                                    vCol = myRGB_Red
                    Case Is = "AS1", "MT1", "AM3", "KA1", "BL1", "LP1", "JS1", "SS1", "AW1":               vCol = myRGB_Yellow
                    Case Is = "RH1", "MC1", "MN1", "PP2", "MK1", "RL1", "JP1", "ML1", "JB1", "RW1":        vCol = myRGB_Green
                    Case Is = "GC1", "PP1", "DP1", "AP1", "HO1", "SM1":                                    vCol = myRGB_Blue

 End Select

 With ActiveCell
 LabelInitialsSCA.Caption = .Value
 LabelInitialsSCA.BackColor = vCol
 End With

STATSFORM.LabelDateSCA.Caption = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Text
STATSFORM.LabelTimeSCA.Caption = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Text

        Exit For
    End If

Next xRowSCA

and when I run through the code via F8, it gets to this line and then skips onto the next section of the code.

Row 6 is the first row which could possible have some data.

VBA Code: 
For xRowSCA = lrSCA To 6 Step -1   '6 is the first row with data

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

Hi,

After looking at my code further I noticed someone has added the following code:
VBA Code: 
On Error Resume Next

This will explain why my code wasn't coming up with an error. I have removed this line and now I get the following error:

Run-time error 1004: Unable to get the SpecialCells property of the range class

and it highlights this line:
VBA Code: 
lrSCA = Sheets("WEEKLY").Range("P6").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row

Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

You're interested in finding the last row then try this instead.

VBA Code: 
lrsca = Sheets("WEEKLY").Range("P" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

Hi,

Your code has worked for the shuttle car A part of my code and I copied your code changing the column letters to suit but now I am getting the following error message on the same line but on the shuttle car B:

                    Case Is = "AS1", "MT1", "AM3", "KA1", "BL1", "LP1", "JS1", "SS1", "AW1":               vCol = myRGB_Yellow
                    Case Is = "RH1", "MC1", "MN1", "PP2", "MK1", "RL1", "JP1", "ML1", "JB1", "RW1":        vCol = myRGB_Green
                    Case Is = "GC1", "PP1", "DP1", "AP1", "HO1", "SM1":                                    vCol = myRGB_Blue
 End Select

 With ActiveCell
 LabelInitialsMPB2.Caption = .Value
 LabelInitialsMPB2.BackColor = vCol
 End With

STATSFORM.LabelDateMPB2.Caption = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Text
STATSFORM.LabelTimeMPB2.Caption = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Text

        Exit For
    End If

Next xRowMPB2
 
ProtectAllWorksheets

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
aaaaaLockandProtect

End Sub

I appreciate I should of shown all my code to start with but I though if we could get the first part working, then all the others would follow. My mistake, sorry.

I would appreciate any further help.

Thanks

Dan

Change this line
from

VBA Code: 
lrSCB = Sheets("WEEKLY").Range("P6" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

to
VBA Code: 
lrSCB=Sheets("WEEKLY").Range("P" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

Hi,

I am such an idiot at times, can't believe I didn't spot it lol

Thank you so much for your help.

Do you know why special cells line of code stopped working?

Thanks again

Click to expand...
The xltypelastcell doesn't work on the last row, it works on the largest cell that you typed in the sheet. It doesn't matter if you have typed in that cell and removed it, Excel will still remember it. so go to a new sheet and type in the 10000 th row and delete the words from the cell and use

VBA Code: 
MsgBox Sheet1.Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row

it will still show the last row as 10000th despite not having any data in it.

I cannot tell the exact reason why it happened without the sheet. Maybe the container is not big enough to store the value.
