Hi ,

I have purchased a macro. it works fine of some sheets and on others it gives me the following error. "runtime error 13" type mismatch. These are the lines that cause the problem.
VBA Code:
ws.Range("F3").Resize(UBound(uniNameArr) + 1, 1) = Application.Transpose(showCArr)
ws.Range("G3").Resize(UBound(uniNameArr) + 1, 1) = Application.Transpose(showEArr)
ws.Range("N3").Resize(UBound(uniNameArr) + 1, 1) = Application.Transpose(showKArr)
ws.Range("O3").Resize(UBound(uniNameArr) + 1, 1) = Application.Transpose(showMArr)
I have to say that all the sheets are very similar in content. what could cause such a problem. is there a blanket solution for all runtime errors type mismatches??

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
At a guess the uniNameArr array is empty

thank-you for responding. how can if this be fixed?
here is the whole macro.
what is does is, it copies info from any two chosen sheets and then places them in a table, and has an interactive cell, then when pushed displays data on the copies of the sheets.
part of where it gets stuck, seems like, part of the data needs transposing, like if a reps name is spelled on the sheets as Davis, Sean on the table it transposes as Sean Davis.

Any ideas?

VBA Code:
Sub processData()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False

Step through the code & see if it populates the array.

thanks.
i had many hours of work put in to find my problem. to make things worse, the person who wrote the program swore it worked on his computer.
in the end, the real problem was that i was using a 32 bit version of excel and he was using a 64 bit. who would think that this would mess up different variables and other stuff.
i am writing this, so people should be aware of this problem

Solution
Glad you sorted it & thanks for the feedback, although I cannot see anything in the posted code that would be affected by 32/64 bit systems.

well, I am not an expert, but in front of my eyes, the programmer showed me how the arrays were not available to be held by 32 bit. maybe because my sheets with I uploaded to this macro were quite big. Also he mention something about holding 640+? (because i have a function that highlights all the rows corresponding with certain chosen data.)
