Hi everyone,

I have a part of my code where I delete some rows based on information found with autofilters.

On the first filter, when it does not meet the conditions, the code just skips it as it should.

On the second filter, the error handling is not working.

VBA Code:
blankcolumn = Cells(1, 1).End(xlToRight).Offset(0, 1).Column
    
    Cells(2, blankcolumn).Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
        "=VLOOKUP(RC[-11],'Draft'!C[-11]:C[9],19,0)"
    Selection.AutoFill destination:=Range(Cells(2, blankcolumn), Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn))
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    
    Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn)).Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn)).AutoFilter Field:=blankcolumn, Criteria1:="<>" & 0, _
        operator:=xlFilterValues
        
    On Error GoTo test:
    Range(Cells(2, blankcolumn), Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
    Selection.EntireRow.Delete

test:
    ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
    Columns(blankcolumn).ClearContents
    Cells(1, 1).Select
        
    pendinglastrow = Cells(1000000, 1).End(xlUp).Row

    Cells(2, blankcolumn).Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
        "=IF(VLOOKUP(RC[-11],'Draft'!C[-11]:C[4],14,0)="""",""x"",VLOOKUP(RC[-11],'Draft'!C[-11]:C[4],14,0))"
        Selection.AutoFill destination:=Range(Cells(2, blankcolumn), Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn))
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    
    Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn)).Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn)).AutoFilter Field:=blankcolumn, Criteria1:="=0", _
        operator:=xlAnd
        
    On Error GoTo newerror:
    Range(Cells(2, blankcolumn), Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select 'error here
    Selection.EntireRow.Delete

newerror:
    ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
    Columns(blankcolumn).ClearContents
    Cells(1, 1).Select

Can you please help me understand why the second autofilter does not handle the error?

Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
How about
VBA Code:
   blankcolumn = Cells(1, 1).End(xlToRight).Offset(0, 1).Column
   Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
   
   With ActiveSheet
      .Range(.Cells(2, blankcolumn), .Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn)).FormulaR1C1 = _
         "=VLOOKUP(RC[-11],'Draft'!C[-11]:C[9],19,0)"
      .Range("A1").AutoFilter blankcolumn, "<>0"
      .AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
      .AutoFilterMode = False
      .Columns(blankcolumn).ClearContents
      pendinglastrow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
      .Range(.Cells(2, blankcolumn), .Cells(pendinglastrow, blankcolumn)).FormulaR1C1 = _
         "=IF(VLOOKUP(RC[-11],'Draft'!C[-11]:C[4],14,0)="""",""x"",VLOOKUP(RC[-11],'Draft'!C[-11]:C[4],14,0))"
      .Range("A1").AutoFilter blankcolumn, "=0"
      .AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
      .AutoFilterMode = False
      .Columns(blankcolumn).ClearContents
   End With
   Cells(1, 1).Select

Thank you Fluff,

Using offset like that avoids the error when no data was visible, and the overall code looks much more tidied up.
